Reminder that fentanyl is medicinally legal but marijuana isnt

The problem with fentanyl is because manufacturers overseas are less regulated, so cartels in Mexico and elsewhere are able to get it wholesale and they cut their street drugs with it.

In a clinical setting, I administer fentanyl on a daily basis for a lot of anesthesia cases. It's a great drug when used appropriately.

Making blanket statements of the evils of fentanyl are just misguided. No one doubts the street problem, but it's a tool and in inpatient medicine, it's a very good one at that.
