Last October, I posted about a drug that binds antibodies to cocaine to diminish its pleasurable effects in users. Well, it's not working out terribly well because some users are responding by taking enough cocaine to overwhelm its protection:

Nobody overdosed, but some of them had 10 times more cocaine coursing through their systems than researchers had encountered before, according to Kosten. He said some of the addicts reported to researchers that they had gone broke buying cocaine from multiple drug dealers, hoping to find a variety that would get them high.

Addiction can be treated only by relieving craving, not by making addiction more expensive. Raising the price of one's fix destroys the individual and societal goals.
Treatment of addiction by increasing in an appropriate fashion the brain levels of two neuro-transmitters,dopamine and serotonin, is available now in what is called the PURSOR protocol. Unfortunately, while it is cheap, not toxic and employs only natural substances, levodopa and 5-HTP, it makes not a penny for PHARMA or the experts. Since the same protocol also remits depression and anxiety, it must be vigorously stopped. I should know, they effectively stopped me ten years ago.

For christ's sake.. weather or not they're Vaccanated they're still addicts and need guidence and help...*forheadpalms*
Sounds like it builds up a resistance rather than curing the addiction.
