Interesting, if it actually works

Mexican researchers patent heroin vaccine.

Apparently, it removes the rush you get from smoking or injecting heroin, so if it works (and doesn't block a ton of other opioids, like say morphine for pain relief), that could be very damn interesting.

Of course, given that this research is taking place in Mexico, it's equally as likely that some cartel thugs will blow the goddamned place up.

The world gets more like a Gibson novel every day. Sounds like the same concept where they replaced Case's pancreas with one that couldn't metabolize drugs (or something) so he couldn't get high.

Same here.
