- Naloxone is an opioid antagonist long used in the treatment of opioid
- addicts. It is hardly a new drug, unless that means that it was developed
- during this century. And I believe that it doesn't prevent the endogenous
- opioids from forming, but from binding to the receptors.

- A human being IS a biochemical machine, among other things. A soft machine,
- to quote Burroughs. ;-)
