If they could aerosol that somehow, there's a couple of counties here in Okla I'd like em to crop dust.

Why is this a problem? If it were hard to transport things here from Mexico, we wouldn't need the vaccine.

How can their be a profit in the War on Drugs with a product like that? Farking NAFTA.

Now if they can do that for smokes and booze addiction........

/profit

But it comes with a free frogurt!.

I'm too lazy to RTFA, but wouldn't something like this fark with other legitimate drugs? Like, I'd imagine the cocaine and meth vaccine would fark with other fast-acting DRI's like methylphenidate and d-amp? Likewise with the heroin one and Oxycontin, morphine, etc? If I get into a bad car accident and I'm in pain, I'd farking expect the morphine to work, or I'd be pissed.

litespeed74: subby....fail....
Mexico has some of the best doctors and hospitals in the world.
..and it's cheaper....
If this is the real thing this could be huge.

That depends. Yes, we have (semi) free healthcare, but the best doctors, not all of them are in the system. Is it cheap? Comparing it to the US, yes it is. Hell, there's a lot of Americans that come here for the dental (which is odd, now that I think of it).

tomWright: No, the FDA stops cures for disease so drug companies can make never ending profits with 'treatment'.

Cocaine, Heroin, and Methamphetamine and their analogue substances, even if legalized in terms of Schedule, would never be approved by the FDA as a recreational substance like Ethanol, Marijuana or Tobacco. There are far too many short term complications and risks with their unregulated use.

I know, I know. But but but Alcohol. But but but Tobacco.

Short term, critical harm potential is much, much less between these two than it is say - heroin or cocaine. Unless you want to be handing out free narcan and sodium bicarb/versed autoinjectors to everyone.

They would still be illegal for a layperson to obtain without reason or prescription.tomWright: It's the DEA that wants to keep prohibition going, along with the BATF.

Counter-drug money keeps special interest groups and law enforcement from legalizing the "Safer" drugs, such as Marijuana and Ectasy.

Hm. On second thought, it says that all it does is remove the addictive qualities, so the effects should still work. That still doesn't explain away how it keeps someone from using them recreationally.

fusillade762: I'm sure there's no way this vaccine will cause any adverse side effects *cough-cancer-cough*

By the way, what vaccine caused cancer again?

If that were true the cartels would already be hanging their heads in a tree somewhere.

Mensan: Teen Wolf Blitzer: Bad news?

Very bad news. Friday's headlines will include an article about researchers at Mexico's National Institute of Psychiatry being executed in a "suspected" attack by drug cartels, and by next Monday we will be reading about the sudden fire that burned through the National Institute of Psychiatry - killing all the patients and staff.

This would be good news if the researchers weren't almost completely unprotected from the cartels.

Then the cartels would face off one of the worst monsters in the business world: The Pharmaceutical Companies.
