- hn72774 3y agoNot the stuff coming in from Mexico and China.
- babyshake 3y agoThe only time I've ever been on fentanyl was in a hospital, and the nurse described it to me as the "Michael Jackson drug". I actually enjoyed the gallows humor of the nurses, as I felt it brought down the tension in an otherwise serious environment.
- doubled112 3y agoWasn't that Propofol, a sedative?
- 0x0000000 3y agoI thought propofol was the "Michael Jackson drug", not fentanyl.
- hydrok9 3y agoThat's even funnier because fentanyl is the Prince drug, not MJ's
- drewg123 3y agoIts very different, in that I can walk in off the street and buy alcohol. As far as I know, there is noplace I can legally buy fentanyl without a prescription.
- nine_k 3y agoIndeed! I think the point is that "legalization" and "regulation" can take pretty different forms, not necessarily the for of the substance being generally available.
- acchow 3y agoBut heroin is not. In gp comment, they are trying to get heroin and getting fentanyl instead.
- thrawy2to15 3y agoThis needs to be part of the conversation. To most people 'fentanyl' == 'The Devil', and rightly so after so many deaths. However it does still have legitimate medical use.
