And it has happened in multiple places.
I'll give the war on drugs a lot of shit, but it's clear that substances like this need to be out of the general public's hands because of how it can and is being used to attack each other, and it's far less traceable than a bullet, and extremely easy to apply in stealth. And the potential damage from putting it into the water supply? Possibly nuclear weapon level murder, depending on the water supply and how many rely on it.
If there's something to be scared of, it's a silent killer that can kill you from literally touching it.
No one needs fentanyl anyway, though. No drug addict should even be going after fentanyl. The drug doesn't make you feel "special", doesn't give you energy (the opposite), doesn't focus you in any fashion.
I'm against full legalization of drugs, because it is clear that people are still driving while smoking their pot, and I don't like to be assaulted with that bullshit constantly. It also shouldn't be done around schools, and yet they do that too. I'm pro decriminalization, but not full legalization.
However, I digress because we won't agree on that and that's fine; The war on drugs is ineffectual because just like the "inflation reduction act", they aren't actually going after the sources. The cartels aren't exactly hiding, after all, and yet we don't work to bring them down. We don't stop the illegal importation of fentanyl from China either.
In fact, when do most politicians even talk about the massive fentanyl problem? They don't even virtue signal with it.
Because the "war on drugs" is just a way to say "war on drugs that they didn't sell".
I was pro legalize until Colorado happened
I still remember when they said they wouldn't drive under its influence, and so many other promises, and all of those promises were pretty much shattered sixteen ways.
I'm not down for dispensaries all over the place, and I am noticing increased crime in areas where dispensaries are opening too.
Agreeing to disagree is good! We won't agree on everything and that's cool.
Pain control for fentanyl is supposed to be under veeeery controlled environments though
It's useful in anesthesia in surgeries, mixed with other medications, it is what is used for procedures as it is fast acting and has a short lifespan in the body, commonly used for colonoscopies, endoscomies, and of course, general anesthesia, like the hip replacement I had a few years ago. It is not needed for more than 5 days after major surgery. The patch is often used for terminal cancer patients as they begin the dying process, to relieve terrible pain. It should never be prescribed for any pain that can be treated with other meds, and never for longer than 10 days.It kills addicts, and there are drug enforcement people and doctors that treat addiction who wish heroin was back, it is that deadly. But its here to stay, because the process for heroin starts in the plant , poppies, harvest, get the opium, make the heroin. Fentanyl is made in a laboratory, quickly, no need for all those steps. Made in China.
It cant kill you from touching it

Fentanyl can be given transdermally.

Yes if it is set up as a patch...but the loose fentnyl that is common in the streets? No
If you can get fentanyl, you can get the rest of the ingredients to assist in that endeavor.
It is starting to pop up, through different parts of the country. Main method is lacing paper and leaving it on door handles or windshields which will cause people to touch it.
With all due respect... yes, it can.
