Literally, fentanyl is legal and regulated. It's used as an anaesthetic.

The only time I've ever been on fentanyl was in a hospital, and the nurse described it to me as the "Michael Jackson drug". I actually enjoyed the gallows humor of the nurses, as I felt it brought down the tension in an otherwise serious environment.

I thought propofol was the "Michael Jackson drug", not fentanyl.

That's even funnier because fentanyl is the Prince drug, not MJ's

Wasn't that Propofol, a sedative?

But heroin is not. In gp comment, they are trying to get heroin and getting fentanyl instead.

Its very different, in that I can walk in off the street and buy alcohol. As far as I know, there is noplace I can legally buy fentanyl without a prescription.

Indeed! I think the point is that "legalization" and "regulation" can take pretty different forms, not necessarily the for of the substance being generally available.
