I’m pretty sure the entire purpose of snorting cocaine is to get the happy signals to fire in your brain, so this vaccine for nose candy — which would make your body produce anti-bodies that would “attack” the drug like it would a virus, and kill the pleasure-causing chemicals before they can reach your brain — simply promises to make your coke habit a really expensive let down. What’s next, a vaccine that makes meth users not want to get barebacked by a half dozen strangers? Somebody stop these liberal activist researchers!

Its not funny that you would take a disease that affects so many and make light of it. If this can help one person that is an addict then it is completely worth every penny spent to research and develop it. It would be completely awesome if they found something similar for crystal meth and all other drugs.

Now if only they would make a vaccine that would make snorting 8 cheeseburgers a let down. 🙁

This sounds awesome, if it works that can have a mandatory application for anyone caught with cocaine. They could also end prison sentences for people caught with small amounts of the drug.

@Daez:
You’re ridiculous. While I agree that we shouldn’t make fun of diseases, you have just completely contradicted yourself.
In the post about Honors, you go on and on about how it is not a big deal and how it is a joke. This is also someone’s idea of a joke. Now, if I replace one word of what you just wrote you look like a hypocrite:
“Its not funny that you would take a disease that affects so many and make light of it.”
Now, here’s that statement with the replacement word:
“Its not funny that you would take a word (faggot) that affects so many and make light of it.”
JUST TO BE CLEAR, I AM NOT CALLING HOMOSEXUALITY A DISEASE IN ANY WAY (because it is not, or has at least not been proven to be).
As I’m sure you believe, being gay is not a choice. Acting on it is, but actually being is not (again, no one has proved otherwise). So why would making a joke about a drug addict (who MOST LIKELY chose to do it in the first place) be more demeaning than jokes about gays?

Meh, drugs can be fun every year or three…
Besides possibly helping “addicts”, this vaccine might make a nice dent in the sleazy international drug trade. No more US/Mexico border war anyone?

Way to put out the wrong message, don’t you think? Let’s hope that a curious teenager isn’t surfing the internet in an attempt to find out some answers about being gay. Stumbling across this fuckery would certainly send out the wrong message… drug abuse, unprotected MULTIPLE PARTNER sex. Really great lifestyle, don’t you think? Fucking get a brain in your head… whoever wrote this is clueless.

@Cameron Baraban: Quit bootlicking your hetero masters you gay uncle tom, a heteronormative lifestyle isn’t the only valid way to live and certainly not the only thing people are allowed to write about.

@Josh: God you have so much misinformation its laughable. Drug ADDICTS are addicted. That means they don’t chose their behavior. The drug chooses their behavior. Comparing it to using the word faggot is even more ridiculous.
Also, no you don’t chose to “act on your homosexuality.” That is the bullshit tossed around by conservatives everywhere. That is like giving you a choice between being miserable and being happy and calling that a choice.
You get involved with guys because it is what makes you happy. There is no choice involved.
@Nathan: How is not dieing of HIV and not trying to destroy your brain with drugs living a hetero normative lifestyle? Please, please explain that one.

@Daez:
You say I’m misinformed, but at least I’m not a COMPLETE idiot like you.
You are wrong. Drug addicts CHOOSE to take drugs in the BEGINNING. Then they become addicted. That’s what I meant and that is 100% true. I did not say anything that would make it seem like I felt otherwise.
And as a LIBERAL gay man, I still think that having sex with a man is a choice. There is a BIG difference between being gay and acting on your feelings. Just because you like some guy you see on the street doesn’t mean you have to approach him. Being happy/unhappy has nothing to do with it. Obviously most people would choose to be happy, but in the end it is a choice. There are many gay men who can’t accept themselves and so they have relationships with women, though I assume they’re very unfulfilled. Acting on your gay feelings is just like any other decision in your life… Just because you love a certain food, doesn’t mean you need to eat it.
Oh, and you’re a hypocrite and extremely obtuse.

@Nathan:
You’re smart… and I’m right. Sooner or later, you’ll realize I’m right.

they already make a drug for opiate addicts that blocks the opiate from delievering the drug to the brian. Nalaxone is the drug! It also works for alcoholics!

@Daez: Why is it that you only post to admonish us idiots? You never seem to have anything positive to add. Are you miserable? Do you need comfort like the rest of us, or are you, as Josh says, just plain obtuse and obnoxious?
