    Well of course pharmaceutical companies don’t, they can get cheaper base materials for opioids like the thebaine you mentioned. It was just someone proving it could be done and showing that it could be a potential concern one day. Right now it’s a million times easier to get and cook fentanyl with precursors, so no one would bother with this synthesis. It’s not like consumer nalaxone is cheap for the amount you get.
