Yeah.. ^ he is right. The naloxone in suboxone, is rendered useless when taken, especially in a low dose such as 2mg. And yes. That was my go-to ROA for bupe for a very long time, and I must say, even though it may not be the most healthy way to take bupe, it does work! Especially well at doses 1-2mg for me... any more was overkill, any less usually didn't last long enough for me, even though I did feel more of the nor-buprenorphine (full agonist opioid, in which bupe metabolizes into when taken in small enough doses, around 2mg or less) when taking microgram doses of bupe intranasal. I then switched to plugging bupe, which IMO is the all around BEST roa for it.. IV is 100% but is very bad to get into the habit of.. I know, I am there now, cant stop slamming it.. for the past 4 years I haven't switched back to plugging or sniffing.
Plugging I say is the all around best because its stronger than sublingual and sniffing IME/IMO and it is harmless.. sniffing can mess up your nose. IV can fuck up your entire life... Plugging is like somewhere in between the feeling of sniffing and IV bupe.. its perfect feeling and easy, but just a bit time consuming like IV is to prep then register, then bang.... But sniffing, I used to like before IV, because of how efficient it was for me.. and how much less I would need. Also it takes next to no time to crush the pill, and just sniff it real quick.. prepping for IV and plugging is time consuming some days.. then all the other stuff is as well that you do while partaking in those ROAs with bupe.. very time consuming, it does pay off though, just isn't entirely worth it, as again.. IV is really bad for you in general.
With bupe, DO NOT SNORT the pill hard up your nose, you must, with bupe at least, sniff very lightly, because you do not want a drip down the back of your throat with buprenorphine.. then you lightly rub your nostrils together and make it absorb into your nostrils and nasal capillaries/mucous membranes... hope this helps. good luck!
