Does this also mean, that heroin users can get the high without the addiction? Or would it also block some of the "pleasurable" feelings of the drug?

Fuck yeah time to start shooting smack.

Seconded.

im in pain!

(I get your sarcasm, but thinking about this literally) ->

Sweet, so we can take this drug everyday, just before work, and not be addicted. Wooo

that is almost a contradiction.. as you would not insist on doing them everyday, just before work, if you were not addicted - you would save it for a weekend binge.

By the sounds of it, the method would only be useful for someone who has acquired an addiction and really needs to stop. The way I consider herion is before you first take it you feel 50% most of the time on a scale of (shit)0-100%(top of world). You take it the first time and feel 100%, temporarily. You come off it and your new standard feeling is 20%... thus you feel like shit all the time but if you take it again you can temporarily get back to 100%; but after that you drop to 10%. Take it again to boost to 100%, then drop to 0%. Most of the time you now feel like fucking shit and want to die unless you are at 100% - hence an addiction is born.

Implement this cure and you now just feel like 0% for a while and not even herion will help you. After some time, if you don't kill yourself, you may stabilise back to 50%.

It wouldn't be suitable for going 100% to 50% to 100% to 50% for regular use, otherwise you may as well be addicted because 50% would feel like shit?



Consider the following analogy if a similar idea was done with alcohol:

A scientist creates a pill that can stop you from getting drunk from alcohol. You can drink all the spirit you want, but you won't feel the least bit tipsy.

So do you pay a massive amount of money to drink a bottle of spirits before leaving for work each day? or just have a bottle of coke which wouldn't get you drunk in the first place; without the need of the pill to stop you getting drunk.
