Vaccine Could Help Humans Kick Cocaine Habit

01-06-2011 • LiveScience

The vaccine combines a segment of the common cold virus with a molecule similar to cocaine. After receiving the shot, mice dosed with the drug didn't respond with the hyperactive symptoms of a cocaine high, the researchers reported online in the journal Molecular Therapy. The vaccine works by turning the body's immune system against cocaine, preventing the drug from reaching the brain.

By the way, there is a lot of dead fish in the water and dead birds from the sky but there are no cackling and hooting-whooping ducks that darken the sky when they flock to the warmer state of Arizona at this time of the year. Not one of them is falling out since Obama brought AZ to court.

I agree. He is posting everything ... he keeps firing perhaps for want of something else to do. He shouldn't get bored of his job ... he should postpone posting and wait until he sees the white of the eye of the truth before firing his old rusty Japanese rifle. He didn't miss those dead fish and birds all right but he missed his target ... no dead ducks!

Gammil I think your Yarmulke is on a little too tight. You'll post just about anything.
