For the record buprenorphine is a terrible choice for an occasional use opioid. It's too strong, binds to the receptors for a ridiculously long time, is actually a very dirty opioid, and preferentially stimulates beta-arrestin recruitment over g protein signalling.(In other words, lots of bad for very little good. There's a reason that doctors give that shit out almost freely to known junkies.)
I kinda enjoyed it, it just dragged on for so long, with my little tolerance being accustomed to just the occasional indulgence of codeine and hydrocodone, it became a nuisance. I had a 8mg pill, and I could get high as shit from less than a mg, just a tiny line, I had to throw it away. It could of easily just been weeks of being hunkered down on that shit and the last thing I want to do is complicate my already miserable life, with a self inflicted wound of chemically induced dependence.
I like to have my fun and be done with it, same reason I have hangups with clonazepam binges, shit last for days after discontinuation. Another oddity with the standard practice of medicine, compared to what I find to be the reality of using, is the longer the half life the more addictive, if not that just a higher likelihood of dependence.
I don't even know how I would dose these, I can definitely get high off way less than a mg of bupe, but the extended release being over the span of days, then it is all in micograms, it just seems like a bitch. From what I'm reading people don't feel the shit till like three days later, then they're hit with a wave of nausea, which I know I'm going to fall victim to, but got the zofran for that.
It has to be just another way to milk bupe in the pharma market for all it is worth, especially with the stigma around traditional pain pills.
