Some of the comments that followed that article were much more disturbing than the article itself, so I couldn’t help but throw my 2 cents in. As long as society thinks that Sub is just another legal high they’re going to be against it. How can we educate the public that Sub is primarily an opiate BLOCKER, that also reduces or eliminates cravings in addition to treating the initial withdrawals?
Even the diverters that we are so concerned about (with good reason) are IMO primarily those who are either self treating or just trying to stay out of withdrawals in between using. I think the opiate naive folks who OD trying to use Sub to get high are few and far between.
Yet articles like this one perpetuate the myth that Sub is just another contraband that people are buying and selling for jollies. Why don’t they just give the inmates prescribed Sub their medicine, like they do with other legal medicines. *sigh*
