No one has ever really listened to me when I say... subs get me high! I am on maintenance too! been on it for 5 years, and have done suboxone(hated the strips, loved the white round "half moon" generics), zubsolv(it was alright...), and currently am on 8mg of subutex a day... do 2mg pieces 4x a day, IV... it is incredibly strong to me.. but I don't and never will I recommend this to anyone, it makes subs about 10x more addicting because of the needle addiction too... but I have had many great experiences sniffing and plugging both suboxone and subutex tablets, subutex I feel is a bit different.. it feels more sedating to me whenever I do it, especially when slammed like always nowadays. I will bang it, then be nodding out almost everytime I take a 2mg shot, no more no less, and then after nodding and staring off into space for about 10 mins, I will just feel great... unexplainably great, its like a stimulating/sedating opioid high of its own, I mean it is a partial agonist opioid, and it is also derived from thebaine, the same thing oxycodone is derived from.. and call me crazy, but a lot of times, I can feel a hint of the feeling I used to get from oxy from subs... I am now a sub IV addict and its a love/hate thing.. lately I have been getting some issues with my veins, probably due to all of the subs I have shot, along with all of the coke, crack, dope, and other pharms I have slammed over the years.. it was bound to happen.. but it kind of just started happening to me, outta nowhere.. my veins just aren't what they used to be.. they still aren't too bad yet though.. knock on wood.. But lemme stress this again, DONT SHOOT SUBS, just don't. Its not worth it in the end, I did it once, and was hooked and couldn't go back to take it any other way.. I started taking it sublingual as most do, then read up on how bad that ROAs BA was.. only like %34 sometimes less or more, and started sniffing it mostly, which I also enjoyed, but plugging was the least harmful and at the same time one of the most effective ways I experienced with different suboxone/subutex ROAs.. It kicks in very fast, similar to IV, without doing any damage to your body! best ROA for subs... but if sublingual works for you, keep taking it that way.. wish I kept using the other ROAs and curiousity never got me to IV them...
