1. My wife's pain doctor prescribed her a Fentanyl patch.

It left her stupefied and totally immobile, and we looked it up - a 100X more powerful than morphine and heroin.

She told him no more, good old hydrocodone was plenty good enough to keep the pain at a mild roar.

Now, I don't think anyone who sells and distributes these drugs is intending to kill the customer - that is a bad business model. Intent to kill is also required for capital crimes.

Our desire and demand for these drugs is the real problem. THAT's where all our effort should be focused!
