Winston-Salem, North Carolina-AP -- Researchers at Wake Forest University have discovered that monkeys with less control in their community seek out cocaine, while those in power are less likely to want the drug.The researchers say their findings could explain why some people are more prone to addiction than others. Scientists at the university placed 20 macaque (muh-KAHK') monkeys in small groups. Some monkeys grabbed better access to food and were better able to control the other monkeys. Then all the monkeys were allowed to inject themselves with cocaine. Monkeys that had less power were more likely to abuse cocaine, while those with more power didn't want the drug as much. If by chance your monkey appears to be distraught,just give him/her an abundant supply of food an water. This will save it from a life of drug use and prostitution.
