        I called this years ago!! Only thing more profitable then being the supplier is being the rehab source. Big pharmaceutical is a dangerous power in our country.

        A "faster-acting form of buprenorphine"? The whole damn point of buprenorphine is that it doesn't act fast and so reduces that part of the addictive impulse. They're just inventing another addictive opiate to market and calling it "a treatment". This is nuts.

        Already tons of people addicted to "treatments" in my neck of the woods, along with people turning to street drugs when their script runs out. This is possibly the worst sham of our times, it's destroyed my community. All these liars need to go to jail

        Watching good people turn back to street dealers bc they can't afford their medicine/Dr visit or just seeing them actually wanting help so vulnerable n fall victim to these particular glorified drug dealer Drs who aren't trying to help.

        We have a solution, it’s healthier. It’s called WEED. No side effects and won’t kill anyone. However, they won’t legalize it because they can’t profit from it. They’re so evil.
