An article in the Portland Press Herald gives new hope to opiate research. If all goes well with human testing, many who cannot use opiates such as Oxycontin because of nausea will be able to do so. Even more important, the compound would render such opiates devoid of giving off a “high” which has debilitated so many opiate addicts in the state of Maine.

To families affected by such addictions, this is the best news in a long time. The fact that the compound is a product of a small Maine startup company is also exciting.
