Question by Brian M: does the drug suboxone/subutex come in a rectangular, purple pill that tastes like candy?
i recently got a “suboxone” pill from a friend in order to detox from a heroin addiction. he said that he was broke so the doctor gave him a cheaper option than the normal orange, hexagonal 8 mg tablet. the pill is shaped like a rectangular box-like thing that is sweet to the taste and purple in color.
did i get ripped off, or has anyone heard of this type of suboxone?

Answer by missbuttons
First of all, it is illegal to give another person prescribed medications.

Second, Suboxone is a brand-only medication, and only made by one manufacturer-Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. It is dispensed as a sublingual, hexagonal, orange tablet.

Question by Layne [Capricorn Sister]: A few questions in honor of Layne Staley being found dead today 7 years ago and weed day…?
Layne Staley of Alice in Chains was found dead today 7 years ago in his Seattle apartment. The death was presumed to be the result of a speed ball (heroin and cocaine) overdose. The dark lyrics of Alice In Chains songs, particularly those on their album dirt, dealt with drug addiction. Layne was one of the most powerful vocalists of the “grunge” movement (although The band considers themselves to play heavy metal). Layne also made metal vocals,something normally not considered to be very soulful, beautiful.

On a lighter and less addictive note, today is also weed day. (4/20)
