Fentanyl is not a bad drug.

It's deadly *on the street* because of it's tendency to clump, meaning that your average drug dealer is not competent to dilute it properly. That's not a problem when handled by professionals.

my friend, opiods out of acute settings are super bad.

Being prescribed opiods to take home, is a sure fire way to get someone addicted https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/opioids-risk-of-depend...

What is even more bad is companies running competitions to encourage family doctors prescribe opiods for long term use.

sure heroin on the streets is bad, don't get me wrong, but giving it to unsuspecting patients, getting them addicted and then effectively forcing them onto the streets is even worse.

Advertising of drugs is fucking stupid, bribing doctors is even more stupid. But as thats where a lot of money comes for politics, its not going to change.
