Re: [DIYbio] Drug addiction biohacking

Why not try working to biosynthesize an opioid blocker, like naloxone
or similar, which is synthesized by gut bacteria? Then this
"probiotic" could last quite a while in the gut, until the person
takes too much antibiotic materials. Alternatively you could try using
gene insertion to push this synthesis pathway into whatever cells you
can manage to get it into. Of course getting the biosynthesized dosage
to be correct would require feedback to a gene promoter, etc... which
seems like a pretty tricky part (requiring a lot of testing and
debugging).

We've been trying to find a way to help people with drug addiction, and we got introduced to biohacking. We're interested in being able to change people's nervous systems either through microwave radiation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1312845), CRISPR (if it can do anything at all), or whatever other means that don't technically need surgical procedures.
