Cocaine vaccine a good first step

According to a recent Houston Chronicle article, scientists at Baylor College of Medicine are testing a promising new vaccine they have developed to immunize people against cocaine. It is designed to train the body to attack the drug when it enters the system, much like the more familiar immunizations against the flu, chicken pox and other viruses.

Hopefully, this will open up an entire new field of behavior modification drugs, and none too soon, in my opinion. I don't have a cocaine jones, but I'll be first in line to test vaccines against
