That's what I was thinking! Do we know what happened to Riley Gale? I don't recall anyone ever following up on it.

Toxic effects of fentanyl. Damn that is rough to hear.

That sucks! Fentanyl is a menace and until the government comes up with a solution to it, I can't imagine how anyone would be comfortable with any drugs not directly sourced through a pharmacy.

It really is. I think that during the development and subsequent release of any drug there should be an independent process of studying the drugs effects.

Opioids were sold as non-addictive, this could have been proven incorrect well before the drugs reached the market if we had a system which audited and verified the drug trial process.

Of course this could not happen with every drug, there's solutions to that.
