We might have kickstarted it, but fentanyl is a growing issue in lots of countries where Congress had no impact. The bottom line is that it's a powerful synthetic drug. We've clearly demonstrated that going after the supply doesn't have any real impact on botanical sourced drugs. Thinking that we'd do better going after the supply for a drug that can be synthesized is pretty much insane. Any solution has to be on the demand side, and that costs money that nobody is willing to put forward.
