Fentanyl is a last resort painkiller that is extremely heavily regulated in other countries and prescribed for things like tumor pain and heavy burns. It's not a regular painkiller, it's a narcotic. If you dose it high enough it can be used during anesthesia.

Yes, everyone knows all of this. My point stands: people who are prescribed fentanyl typically take it.
