OK, I don't know much about suboxone except that it is a opioid and it is a godsend for people trying to get off h, etc. I've also heard that since it is both an antagonist and agonist that for people with an opi-ate/oid addiction trying to get off their d.o.c. and live a normal life will just feel normal on suboxone, no high.

Well I found one of my old acquaintances from years ago has access to suboxone and supposedly gets really high. He had little to no other opiate tolerance (some vics or percs occasionally) before he started using the sub recreationally. Now from my understanding on how suboxone works you cannot get high/nod from it, yet it just makes you feel normal. Am I wrong about this and he is really getting high because he had low tolerance in the first place and was/is not addicted to any opiate/oid before he started using, or is he bullshitting me?

If he is right and really getting high for someone who has little-moderate opiate/oid tolerance and no previous addictions, then how much sub would one need equivalent to 40mg of oxy?
