The House of Representatives voted in favor of a Senate bill to reclassify fentanyl as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act on June 12.
The legislation passed 321–104, with only one Republican voting against it.
“A schedule I controlled substance is a drug, substance, or chemical that has a high potential for abuse; has no currently accepted medical value; and is subject to regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal penalties under the Controlled Substances Act,” the Senate said on its website.

The idea that Fenanyl has no currently accepted medical value is absolutely false. It is one of, if not, the most used narcotic in operating rooms by anesthesia personnel.

after hip replacement, I was given painkillers. I asked what it was and sure enough it was in the pain reliver, It worked but I didn't take any more than needed.

Sgt Jim Belanus - the most creative thing about the lozenge, or "fentanyl lollipop", was that the stick was taped down to the patient's hand, and then his hand was tied to his gear with rubber bands.
If the patient became too drowsy to pull against the rubber bands to keep the lozenge in his mouth, the bands snapped his hand down away from his face, preventing the unmonitored patient from over-medicating himself.

Early in my nursing career I administered a large amount of morphine to combat wounded and thought it was a good medication. Then I started in the ICU and ER and for many injuries, fentanyl has become my preferred medication. Toradol is IV med of choice for conditions an anti-inflammatory is better for, like renal stones. This is a bad move by our government.

That link is just a paywall, but unless the bill is splitting some fine lines, it seems that Fentanyl should be in Schedule 2, not Schedule 1.
