Canada is having a problem with illegal fentanyl usage:
North Bay Police hosted a media conference Friday afternoon in conjunction with Medical Officer of Health Dr Jim Chirico and Dr Ian Cowan from the Coroner's Office to discuss the growing issue of the powerful drug Fentanyl making its way onto the street and into the hands of kids and addicts.
Dr. Cowan says Fentanyl, a powerful narcotic can be 50 times more powerful then heroin and up to 100 to 200 times more potent than morphine, has played a role in six sudden deaths in the past year

A person who obtains a prescription drug illegally probably doesn’t have any legal remedies against the manufacturer of fentanyl if he or she is injured by the drug. This is another reason not to use a drug unless you have a prescription for it.
