Opioids are very hard to get from a doctor. The fentanyl being conusumed on the streets is largely imported from grey market labs in China. It's not very difficult at all to find a "dark net" Chinese lab selling fentanyl. It's extremely potent and a small package can contain a huge supply. The dealers order dozens of packets from China and a few slip through customs.

Sure, but those ####hole labs in China aren't exactly Pfizer.
I would be surprised if the opioid crisis in Vancouver (and elsewhere) is driven by dealers buying single packets off the current version of the Silk Road. Instead, I would suspect large scale, multi-national crime groups are moving product by the tons... ####ty situation either way.
