It won’t be long before any plant can make opium, coca, THC, or any other desirable drug of recreation or abuse. Genetic engineering won’t stop after it learns to grow biosynthetic fuels and replacement human organs.

It’s only a question of whether genetic engineering will get there first or whether nanotechnology pharma-factories will bet them to the punch. Everyone will be able to grow or make as much dope in the privacy of their homes or storage units as they want.

Better think of another approach to dealing with drugs than suppression of farmers.
