The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I hope you asshats never need an operation.
Would it be considered uncharitable if I said I rather hope they do?

Obviously the lobotomy worked.

Window dressing. It won’t stop a single illegal thing.
Of course it won't, and I doubt it'll pass the (hopefully more reasonable) Senate.
However, a Category 1 substance has NO medical value. Codifying that takes it out of the hands of hundreds of hospitals. This is a drug I've used since 1975, and is remarkably safe, effective and cheap.
The only alternative I could see is sufentanil, which is about 5-10 times MORE potent. It has a better profile in terms of offset, etc. We stopped using it because it was expensive, and in the long run didn't make any substantive difference.

Fentanyl doesn't kill people, people kill people.

The House on Thursday approved a bill that would classify all fentanyl as a Schedule 1 substance, the most dangerous classification of drugs. The GOP-led legislation, backed by the White House, passed the House 289-133.
The classification of all fentanyl substances as a Schedule 1 drug — currently, only some fentanyl-related substances are Schedule 1 — will allow for tougher penalties and spur more research related to a drug that has claimed thousands of American lives. Schedule 1 drugs do not have any medical use, and are highly lethal. Rep. Morgan Griffith, a Republican from Virginia, and Rep. Bob Latta, an Ohio Republican, introduced the Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act.
The White House threw its support behind the bill, noting that its provisions were critical components of the Biden-Harris administration's 2021 recommendations to Congress.
"The HALT Fentanyl Act would permanently schedule all fentanyl-related substances not otherwise scheduled into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act as a class and expedite research into fentanyl-related substances, which the administration has long supported," the Office of Management and Budget said. "... The administration calls on Congress to pass all of these critical measures to improve public safety and save lives."

As I may have said on occasion, there's plenty of stupid to go round, here.
