Subutex is now huge in especially Finland and France, for different reasons, also in Estonia there are Subutex users but because of the price most substitute users are taking Methadone…
In finland the scene in the 90s turned slowly but shurely from the dance-cannabis-acid-mdma crowd, to more and more toward the ‘traditional’ way, of people starting to chill out with H…
And when the market got driven by youngish ravers, who werent after the price so much, the whole scene suddenly was floooded with cheap heroin from Russia, and it was pure and cheap (one guy who I purchased my ‘hooker’ from, was busted and they measured his smak at 80% !!!
Normal brown is 20% usually, and that can kill somebody with no tolerance really easy especially if they have drunk…
Anyway, a certain ‘doctor’ who started to treat the new wave of heroin addicts, and it was getting bad, in the later 90s there was a new wave of hiv infections from needles, as hiv had previously been so marginal that people just didnt care or couldnt belive that it would be in that needle that their best friend just shot up with…
So, this doctor, who lost his licences and was finally put into prison, at first seemed like a messias for the now thousands of heroin addicts as he got people to get Subutex from France where it was the new preferred drug for heroin substitucion, aside of the age old methadone…
And people took to it, at the same time, arround the millenium, the quality of heroin started to go down fast, and after 9.11 it started to dissappear, the last summer I got good stuff was 2002.
And after that I was a complete Subutex user, unfortunately, I wasnt treated in a Finnish state drug hospital or some such, It was basically coming from a quack-dealer, and it was very fast found out that by adding water, and carefully using half a cigarrette filter, one could filter it, and inject.
These people got into very high loads of buprenorphine, and nowadays, as the queue is still minimun one to two years to get the goverments substitute treatement in Finland, people go to Estonia’s officilal substitute treatment, where you are in a hospital for three to seven days under surveillance and then you get prescriptions of either subutex or methadone, the ammount is the same for all and depending on how deep the person is into the dosage ect it lasts from one week to one month…
It is a great sin that the Finnish goverment has only made it more difficult for people getting substitute treatment, and now some of the younger people coming to estonia are about 20 year olds, who started with shooting up subutex/puprenorphine circa three years ago!!! :hopeless:
So, I for one, who got hooked in 98 with real heroin, just weep at the cituation, of a supposedly really good living conditions holding Finland, which has one of the most brutal heroin treatments in the world! And I have got treatment in Thailand (methadone), France (subutex and methadone), Russia (narco-treatment ‘putting you under anasthesia). Spain (Methadone), Britain (Methadone), Finland (nothing! Waited for a year and went to Estonia), may I add that the longest waiting period was in Finland (one year and still waiting), and the other countries veried from instant to one month…
So, the next time you hear things about the scandinavian social state, just belive me, that Finland is one great liar to the other countries about it’s institutions… I created what the doctors called a ‘normal worrying heroin problem’ into a pending ‘subutex nighmare’ as the artery’s get really hard from shooting up pills, the subutex shooting generation, will have heart attacks with a very high probability in the next 25 years, even if they do get through the cold turkey, where as heroin addicts could get into a normal life and expect to live to old age if they beat the monkey…
Just ask any Finnish subutex shooter if their vains have vanished… They do! And not just like a speedfreaks or smakheads, I mean they just are destroyed!:yakk:
p.s. nowadays, I am not in any contact with the old shootup crowd, I go to estonia, and swallow two to three pills a day, and live a norlmal life. I know I must get off the meth soon, but cannot right now for reasons I would rahter keep to myself, nothing to do with cowardice, I just need to appear normal in the summer…
