> But it's no less addictive than morphine or heroin and, while you don't build tolerance as quickly, you do build tolerance eventually.
I disagree with that. If buprenorphine were as addictive as heroin, what would be the point in switching addicts to it? There are lots of reasons why heroin in particular is very different from other opioids, and I know lots of people (on the internet) who are totally crazy about heroin and despise practically every other opioid.
But, of course, buprenorphine *is* an opioid, even if it's an atypical one.
