> I don't know how they manage to find buprenorphine, a safe, medically-prescribed medication with an unknown number of supposedly recreational users and presumably no deaths, “more dangerous” than unquestionably brain-damaging and lethal SOLVENTS.
I agree. I took Bupe for a short while. Excellent AD properties which unfortunately were pretty transient. No addiction issues. I think it has much to do with the fact Bupe is seldom used alone, but is mixed with Heroin, with sometimes serious consequences.
> Also, is there no crystal meth in the UK?Surprisingly, not really. It's shown up in the London gay scene apparently, but is yet to really filter outwards. Speedball (crack + heroin for those that don't know) use is becoming a massive problem here in the UK however. Dealers are offering 'special' deals to users that buy the two drugs together. Industrious little f*ckers...
A recent authoritative report estimated the average heroin habit to be worth around £100/week, compared with a massive £300/week for speedball users. Obviously the implications for UK crime are vast.
