I think it's a shame that the words for dependence are so fuzzy and inaccurate. Dependency vs addiction vs habituation; withdrawal vs stoppage syndrome, etc. It'd be nice if we had a strict vocab that folks knew and stuck with.

Don't get me wrong, bupe is quite unabusable compared to methadone (though not as unabusable as using loperamide as a maint med), but I've known my fair share of opiate users who still found a way to abuse bupe. The quality of 'high' might not be like heroin or morphine, but the usage patterns and intent were the same. Not saying everyone does this, but opiate have a knack at finding a way...
