Buprenorphine is an essential drug for me. Before I found a doctor who could prescribe it, I lived in constant pain. Please don’t make it even harder to get. I don’t get high on it. It just makes my life bearable.

Thanks, PM, I’m pretty sure that this bill would not do that.
I strongly support making Buprenorphine more widely available. My understanding is that it is largely non-abusable and in fact is used in recovery. My expectation would be that even it is classified as an opioid, regulations would treat it differently than others.
I’ve been pushed to clarify that I mean that Suboxone — the Buprenorphine formulation that includes anti-abuse components — is largely non-abusable. I recognize that in its pure form, buprenorphine can be abused.
