    So you are saying no one gets hooked on legally prescribed fentanyl, then gets cut off by their doctors, then goes searching for an illegal substitute?

    Not nobody, but not that many people. Fentanyl patches are like a slow drip, there isn't a rush or anything. Most people who are prescribed fentanyl patches have severe chronic pain or are palliative and won't be getting 'cut off'. You don't get prescribed those if your doctor doesn't plan for you to be on opioids for life/very long term.

    A lot of the current problem is a result of overprescription of Oxycontin, and Purdue's unethical/illegal marketing practices (claiming it was a non-addictive alternative to morphine).

    Fentanyl is better than morphine during cardiac situations like open heart, even minor Stent implants and easily reversed OD there too. Nobody dies in the hospital cause they administered fentanyl..

    Really? And that's how it should be. But then, healthcare in the US in general should be more like it is in Canada.

    And, following up, I did report that ad and website to the EPA. Now, with the current administration's EPA, it's not likely anything will be done.
