Bad, and biased link
The link ^ Buttnor, Al. "The Drug Problem: How It CAN be Solved". Freedom Magazine (vol. 4, iss. 1) p. 15. Retrieved Apr. 7, 2006. should be removed.
The article is simply an unsupported opinion piece and quite clearly has an agenda. Not only that, but it is incorrect in just about every factual statement it makes. Why was this piece of trash included in the first place? The inclusion of this article is not at all "neutral" and it degrades the content of the Wikipedia article. It is not a reference piece, it is a diatribe.
Let me also note, for the record, that I posted a link to a reference on the early history of methadone. It was an actual, good, research link, with real information. My link was deleted because it was "spamming" while the above link has been preserved. Someone is pursuing an agenda with this article.

i have a question about this.
it says under the buprenorphine section that buprenorphine is a schedule 3 drug and so can be used in outpatient programs, where as methadone cannot.
i am in an outpatient methadone program.
so that obviously refutes that.
i didnt know if things have changed since that was written.
and by things i mean laws. 70.160.42.69 02:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)joe
- Thanks for that. I've removed that sentence pending verification. It seems to me to be false, but I don't have experience with American programs. I've emailed someone involved in American methadone and asked them to comment. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 03:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
