“Is Fentanyl drug dealing legal in any states? I think it’s legal in CA.”

Depending on what your idea of illegal is. It is legal as a prescription drug that can be used by anyone the doctor determines the need for pain relief in its prescription form known by such names as Actiq®, Duragesic®, and Sublimaze®.

The illegally used fentanyl most often associated with recent overdoses is made in labs. This synthetic fentanyl is sold illegally as a powder, dropped onto blotter paper, put in eye droppers and nasal sprays, or made into pills that look like other prescription opioids. So the stuff on the street is not legal, nor trustworthy.

As a street drug, a person can overdose on fentanyl. An overdose occurs when a drug produces serious adverse effects and life-threatening symptoms. When people overdose on fentanyl, their breathing can slow or stop. This can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, a condition called hypoxia. Hypoxia can lead to a coma and permanent brain damage, and even death. Or it can be achieved by slow numerous using as the need for the greater drug amounts to achieve the effect have to increase with time. According to the DA, one pill can accomplish death depending on the person and the amount ingested.

I believe drug dealing is illegal in all 59 states. The term implies non-licensed controlled drug sales. However, possession of small amounts of illegally-obtained fentanyl is not illegal in OR and WA; I don't know about CA.
