Herion Addiction Gene by saralk on 06-02-2005 at 02:05 PM
There is a realtively old news article that says that they have found a way to stop addiction to Heroine by surpressing the gene responsible for the addiction relapse.
The full article is here
Now, my question... Do you think that this is a breakthrough that will reduce the amount of Heroine users, or will it create a culture of people thinking they can take more Herione because they will be able to become unaddicted by going to a clinic?
Or, will we start to see the proibition of drugs, and Heroine will come with this addiction supressor built in, so Herione becomes a new type of Alcohol?
WDZ Edit: it's heroin, not heroine. :p

It would cure the problems that we have today but tomorrow it will create unforseen circumstances like u mentioned and that'd be bad

There is a drug they currently use for suppressing the gene, dont remember the name though.

i totally agree...yeah it could help cure some people and for others itll make em use more knowing that theyll be able to be cured but also people my think harder and not use it because its becoming so bad that they are making more clinics and stuff and trying to get rid of it?
