Not really. Fentanyl should be a schedule 1 drug but instead we have people getting addicted and dying at crisis levels. And don't forget Vioxx which killed half a million people over 5 years.
So yes, it's a hard place to be but they will not hang when they get it wrong.
- CaliforniaKarl 3y ago> Fentanyl should be a schedule 1 drug but instead we have people getting addicted and dying at crisis levels. Fentanyl is already a Schedule 2 drug, and as someone who has had Fentanyl administered during (medical) operations, I think that's where it should remain.
- fnord77 3y agoI don't think making Fentanyl Schedule 1 will stop the deluge of illegal Fentanyl coming into the US, nor will it make a dent in abuse
- sdfignaionio 3y agoFentanyl should definitely be Schedule 2, like it is right now. It has a wide variety of accepted medical uses and can be used safely with medical supervision.
