        It's an opiod that used to be given to people with late stage cancer (for pain relief). Drug makers pushed for it to be used for other pain.

        thx Jenifer. Says even toxic to touch, sounds peculiar to have such a drug.

        Yup. With end stage cancer,it was about keeping people comfortable (it came in lollipop form-as well as others).

        It doesn't make sense elsewhere. It is incredibly potent. Opiod addiction can start with Percocet or other pills and build from there.

        Pure crystalized fentanyl is very potent. Medical injectable fentanyl is much safer. It is NOT a poison. Needs to be used properly.
