Why does bupe affect so many people so many different ways?

[thegreatgeno]

After reading many many experience reports on it, I've heard things varying from "made me nod hard with intense euphoria" to "not euphoric at all, made me vomit for hours" to "gave me an insane amount of energy"

People with little-to-no opiate tolerance are most likely to get opiate euphoria from bupe. However, an opiate addict who is taking suboxone daily to kick opiates is less likely to get euphoria, but it might give an addict more energy because he/she would otherwise be dopesick, and W/D's cause lethargy. That's all I can tell you from my experience/research.

^^What CodeMan said.

And for the record, Buprenorphine is not typically sought after for recreational use. It is primarily used to treat the withdrawal symptoms of opiate addiction and/or as maintenance therapy for opiate addicts, and it works great for these purposes.
