Im currently in a substance and alcohol abuse prevention program called GCASA (Genessee County Alcohol & Substance Abuse), i've been attending since Febuary. The majority of the others attending are referred there from either drug court or probation, me on the other hand, get the crazy look from everyone when i tell them that i had signed myself up
I had realized that i was too weak to become sober on my own, and decided to seek help. Which apparently is not the 'cool' thing to do. Fortunatly for me i realized a while ago living the drug life that its not cool to live for only getting your next fix. But thats besides the point lol
Anyways, on the intake i was asked by the intake counseler what my primary drug of choice was. I had said how it started with scritly just marijuana use, but as in most cases, the high became boring or useless. I had decided to list opiates as my main concern for being there. Because as any stoner knows, THC is a great, soothing, and recreational drug but isnt hard to drop the habit. Mainly anything besides speedy drugs and hallucinagens was my reason for being there.
While starting they suggested going to a local mental health clinic to recieve a prescription for opiate withdrawls. They explained one in perticular, Saboxone. They described how it was used to block one of the three opioid receptors in the brain to cancel out withdrawls, but not recieve any euphoria or high that can cause relapse. I ended up deciding to go through the torturous withdrawls on my own, kind of my mindset of punishment to learn i never want to go back to that life. I made it through quite well.
But when i was going to group meetings, Soboxone was brought up as a topic to discuss. Many in there had admitted to insufflating Soboxone at one point in time, and had described it as a very intense high close to large doses of Oxys. Thats where this question comes into play... If its scientificly developed to avoid abuse by those who dont intend to use it for its primary use, how can these people be getting high? Was it possible they were lying to sound cool? Or is there actually a way they managed to recieve a high from this medication? Point in question, I just became puzzled that some say they as well as others were able to abuse this medication for they're own recreational purposes, but doctors say it cant be abused?
