...I'm like 90% sure my grandmother had a fentanyl patch to deal with the pain of her cancer. Guess doctors just hand out weapons of mass destruction... Interesting.

    yeah before my friend died from neglect (thanks america, let a thousand luigis boom) he was on so much fent, he had fentanyl lollypops and patches and shit.

    that was before it became so widely distributed on the black market. the best way to combat fent would be to let the heroin market rip again IMO.

    that's why they went in the first place. the taliban had banned opium growing just a year or two before the invasion and production was down more than 90%, and then miraculously returned once the troops were there to guard poppy fields.
