This makes no sense.
 

This is craziest thing I have ever heard of!  This is going to cause the overdose rate to triple! Please put this back in the hands of the patients and physicans. People that don't have a option for treatment will go back to using. This is a devasting disease that took control of my life, but with subutex I have been able to maintain a steady job for 5 years now with promotions and start a family and even buy a house.  YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF HUMAN BEING OVER THIS . I understand other opiates but not Subutex it saves lives.
