It will supposedly block the effects if you try to inject it. It may not be all that effective, though, since the buprenorphine has such a strong affinity for the opioid receptors. I do know that some people do inject it, and that my nephew has injected it before.

It is true that you're unlikely to fatally OD on it. If you become physically dependent on it, and then lose access to your source, you will be really fucked.
