I'm sure that you already know all of this. But incase you don't, this is why this bill is stupid.
Suboxone, containing buprenorphine and naloxone, can be injected, and abused in the SAME WAY, and to the SAME DEGREE as any medication containing only buprenorphine.
Everybody knows this. The only one who has something to gain from passing a bill like this is reckitt benckiser, who produce suboxone. They have the patent. They would have a lot to gain from having a LAW remove their competition.
In my head this is all insane. Are you in reckitt benckiser's pocket, or why the h*ll would you want to pasa a bill like this?
No matter if there are allegic people or not, there is no reason for the naloxone. It's just more expensive.
I guess im lucky i'm not a US citizen so i don't have to worry about like this, but i do feel for you people over there. I'm sorry for you that a doctor cannot choose a medicin for you because lawyers and politicans opinions (that are based on nothing but misinformation)
