https://www.naabt.org/faq_answers.cfm?ID=2

Buprenorphine is an opioid partial agonist. This means that, although Buprenorphine is an opioid, and thus can produce typical opioid effects and side effects such as euphoria and respiratory depression, its maximal effects are less than those of full agonists like heroin and methadone.

Are the chances good the politicos at the FDA will approve another opioid today by Public Enemy Number 1?

- I personally don't think so even though Buprenorphine is a lifesaver.

Buprenorphine is the generic form of Subutex, a prescription drug used to treat dependence on opioid painkillers such as oxycodone (OxyContin). It's also prescribed in lower dosages to treat pain. ... Buprenorphine is a narcotic and a controlled substance. If your doctor prescribes buprenorphine, it is only for your use.Oct 31, 2014

Is Buprenorphine the same as methadone?

But there are key differences between buprenorphine and methadone. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist; methadone, like heroin, is a full agonist. It is by their actions on opioid receptors that opioids achieve their analgesic (pain-killing) as well as their addictive effects.Feb 12, 2013

Aside from all else, Insys sells pharmaceutical-grade drugs in a liquid form for primary use as a mist. Street drugs are the business of others though Insys has become the primary target of witch hunters.

For its abuses? Successful selling? Open cooperation with law enforcement?

- I leave that open to the judgment of others.

I have a hefty portion of my inconsiderable assets invested in Insys and believe firmly in its mission and eventual triumph but leave it up to others to decide whether to assume the risk of bad government on a destructive mission.

Best, Terry
