NIDA's pursuit of a bio treatment for addictions and alcoholism is not only stupid and cruel, it wastes money that could be spent on diseases that can't be treated with a cup of coffee in a church basement.

A high-tech treatment few will take voluntarily that treats a condition already treated with low-tech non-medical means that kills primates in the process? Sounds like the government is thinking a lot like Big Pharma.
