Opioid Users Found a ‘Miracle Drug’ to Help Them Quit. Then the DEA Banned It

The DEA has placed the experimental opioid withdrawal drug SR-17018 in the same schedule as heroin, despite anecdotal reports from users on Reddit and Discord that it eliminates withdrawal symptoms. The drug, not approved for human use, has drawn attention as a potential 'miracle' treatment, but its legal status now restricts access, leaving many addicts without this option.
