Question by chris m: What is the name of the medication that doctors give to patients to get rid of drug addictions immediately?
What is the name of the medication that doctors give to patients to get rid of drug addictions immediately? I think I read this somewhere, that there was a patient who was in a coma from cocaine use, and the doctors gave him a medication to get rid of his addictions.

Answer by MadameZ
None of it makes sense. Some folks are addicted to alcohol and cigarettes and this is OK. But if police find you with MJ or cocaine, you get busted and do jail time.

It’s ridiculous. They should either be all illegal or all legal.
