Fentenyl is outlawed by the Geneva Convention?
If so we have a bunch of Medical types that should be ready for War Crimes trials [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well if nothing else this will quite eloquently disple the myth that non-lethal drugs can be used for law enforcement with no casualties. Anytime you subject a human to chemical substances there can be unforseen consequences.

But, I will point out that lots of things doctors use on patients are outlawed as weapons under the Geneva Convention. 2 different types of use, you see. Moreover, I don't know if Fentanyl is the drug that the news said was the possibly-used and geneva-outlawed chemical, but I do know they mentioned one chemical that was a possibility.
