times that of morphine, was introduced into medical practice in the
1960s as an intravenous anesthetic under the trade name of Sublimaze.

Today, fentanyls are extensively used for anesthesia and analgesia.
Duragesic is a fentanyl transdermal patch used in chronic pain
management, and Actiq is a solid formulation of fentanyl  that
dissolves in the mouth.  

Actiq is intended for opiate-tolerant individuals and is effective in
treating breakthrough pain in cancer patients.

Carfentanil is a fentanyl with an analgesic potency 10,000 times that
of morphine and is used in veterinary practice


Illicit use of pharmaceutical fentanyls first appeared in the mid-1970s
in the medical community and continues to be a problem in the
United States.

To date, over 12 different analogues of fentanyl have been produced
clandestinely and identified in the U.S. drug traffic.

The biological effects of the fentanyls are indistinguishable from
those of heroin, with the exception that the fentanyls may be
hundreds of times more potent.

Fentanyls are most commonly used by intravenous administration,
but like heroin, they may also be smoked or snorted.

Being charged with any crime is a frightening experience. This is
especially true for a person who has never had contact with the
criminal justice system before. Suddenly, you find yourself thrust
into a world you never imagined you would be a part of, and
subjected to indignities you never thought you would experience.
The stress of being the subject of an investigation or the trauma of
being arrested and booked into a jail can truly be overwhelming. For
some people, the experience is so traumatic that it even makes them
question their most basic assumptions about what kind of person
they are. Fortunately, being arrested or charged with a crime is not
the end of the world.
