One of those shotguns was a nice Remington Mod 1100....Hoping the rightful owner eventually gets it back if it was "missing"....

Probably gonna be some bs they have to deal with where it’s claimed to have been bought and sits in evidence if it is stolen.

I never understood why take the risk to sell drugs instead of just getting a cdl or something. It’s like people don’t mind being incarcerated.

What is "120 packets of Suboxone Sublingual Film"?

Suboxone comes as a sublingual tablet or film to take under the tongue. It is usually taken once a day. You should place the tablet under the tongue until it dissolves in two to 10 minutes. If you are taking more two or more tablets, place them all under your tongue at the same time, or two at a time. Don't swallow the tablets whole or chew them.
Suboxone® is the first narcotic drug available for prescription from a doctor’s office for use in the treatment of opioid dependence under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000).

The primary active ingredient in Suboxone is buprenorphine, which itself is a partial opioid agonist. This means the the opioid effects (the physical *high* of pain relief) and withdrawal symptoms from buprenorphine are less than other full opioid agonists such as heroin, methadone, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and others. Suboxone contains naloxone, which blocks the effects of opioids. Doctors add naloxone to Suboxone to prevent people from improperly using Suboxone to get high.

Suboxone, taken as sublingual (*under the tongue*) tablets, has been shown to help suppress opioid withdrawal symptoms and decrease opioid cravings and use. Not to mention, Suboxone under medical supervision can help overcome opioid dependence. Suboxone’s sublingual tablet form comes in either 2 mg or 8 mg sizes.

Suboxone is the most commonly prescribed anti-opioid medication and given to patients during the maintenance phase of treatment. Subutex is typically given during the first couple days of treatment. Because Suboxone has a lower potential for overdose and abuse, certified doctors are able to prescribe take home supplies of Suboxone in certain circumstances.
