So you want to de-regulate Fentanyl, and let the chips fall where they may? How darwinian of you. I've seen what legally prescribed fentanyl did to my mom's mind during her battle with cancer, at one point she had to go into rehab, from legally prescribed painkillers, just so she could get another surgery a few months later (giving the cancer time to grow further of course). She admitted later to not remembering multiples months of certain years. No one should be able to touch that shit without a legitimate medical need, and even then it should be taken with extreme caution.

I'm all for "ending the war on drugs" with regard to marijuana, LSD, mushrooms and such, all the drugs that got banned because they were politically inconvenient at the time. But that doesn't mean ending all regulation for all drugs.
