Euphoria
This is one of the most twisted, frightening things I have ever read. The UK Department of Trade and Industry is interested in vaccinating children against euphoria (via gutrumbles).
Childhood immunisation would provide adults with protection from the euphoria that is experienced by users, making drugs such as heroin and cocaine pointless to take. Such vaccinations are being developed by pharmaceutical companies and are due to hit the market within two years.
Treatment of this kind strikes me as a reasonable idea for adults in extremis. Otherwise, vaccinating people against the possibility of ecstatic states denies them any opportunity to participate in the shamanic experiences that have literally shaped the evolution of our species. See Equilibrium for details.
