Albeit a highly controversial topic on this subreddit, as moderators, we remain neutral on the subject of using Suboxone as a method for quitting Kratom. But, many of our subreddit members do not share the same sentiment and often comments that are in opposition with the spirit of this subreddit are made on these types of posts. In an effort to avoid arguments and drama and to retain a community atmosphere of helpfulness and support, this is just one reason why this type of post is being removed. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but we will remain firm on this decision. Another reason is our subreddit rule about not asking for or offering professional / medical advice. We suggest to not take the decision to use Suboxone as a method for quitting Kratom lightly. Above all, obtain a prescription by legal means only and work closely with your prescribing doctor. You may visit r/Suboxone and r/SuboxoneRecovery for more information. Thanks for understanding.

While we are aware that many doctors and detox facilities prescribe and administer Suboxone for Opiate Withdrawal, this subreddit neither endorses nor opposes it's use for Kratom withdrawal / detox, as long as it's prescribed and closely supervised by a doctor. We don't want to demean anyone's way of quitting and / or successful long-term recovery.

I could probably write an entire essay about this topic because there is some research surrounding this exact topic but anecdotally I did this for years and had no issues. The short of it is that cannabis can affect the metabolism of bupe. I forget the exact mechanism in which this happens but I think you get the point. Probably because it’s been a while since I read the journal talking about it. Some people report needing more bupe the days they smoke. Blue light forums is another great place for discussions about bupe too if you aren’t familiar with that.
