I view it as a more inconvenient, less effective(but still effective), but more obtainable(in many states) form of Suboxone.

It can stave off withdrawal, cravings, etc. And it can get you high and be it's own addiction. It's still an opiate, and can still be very potent(in high enough doses). The main limiting factor is the pure volume you'd need to ingest to get the potency of a fraction of a gram of other opiates
