New Cocaine Vaccine Could Help Addicts

The first ever vaccine for drug addiction has just been created. By combining a cocaine-like molecule with part of the common cold virus, you get a vaccine that turns the immune system against cocaine, keeping it away from the brain.
So far, the vaccine has only been tested on mice, but the results are extraordinary. Mice given the vaccine no longer exhibited any of the hyperactive signs of a cocaine high when they were next given the drug.

When I was doing my A levels (pre uni qualification), Monday morning was allways Chemistry practical. Everyone used to come in to class fucking ruined and still pissed from the night before.
The teacher got his own back by getting us to make some of that shit or something very similar. The fumes from it made you ill. The only student not spewing his ring or crying in the corner was some muslim kid who did not drink.
We still came in pissed the next week, we were hardly going to make the same thing twice.
That mutherfucker told us it acted by blocking alcohols action on the brain. He was probably pissed off at us for allways coming in pissed. Nice trick for revenge.
Yeh he lied, at least that's my understanding of how it works. Disulfiram prevents the breakdown of the toxic alcohol, ethanol in this case, into harmless acetic acid, so the toxicity that remains makes you sick and vomit. However, it's the ethanol that affects the GABA receptors in the central nervous system directly, so the breakdown of alcohol is irrelevant for its action.
Yeah, and they might make it mandatory...

You don't need me in this thread, that post makes a joke of itself.
