Do you like to party like it is 1980? High on cocaine? Now they have a vaccine for that

It's true!!

For all you tragic wannabe hipsters, yuppies who love the high of the booger sugar, or people with way to much time or money on their hands, beware. Scientists have successfully combined portions of the common cold virus with a molecule that can inhibit cocaine, creating a vaccine that can block your high or at least it worked in mice. More studies are necessary.

This can prove to be quite valuable in the quest to treat cocaine addiction. Who knows, other drugs may also follow suit and soon vaccines will be developed for meth, heroin, LSD, and PCP. Addiction is a terrible disease, how can this go wrong?

Who knows maybe it will work, but addiction is powerful, simply blocking a high may not be enough to curb the desire for the drug. It will be interesting to see how this might work out.
