War on Drugs
Given the huge burden (dollars, productivity, law enforcement, lives) that illegal drugs place on our society and the absolute failure of the War on Drugs, why hasn't our government, or anyone else really, created a series of genetically engineered viruses or other types of pathogens that are specifically deadly to the plants that yield the drugs?
Seems like a no brainer and I'm fairly certain the world could live without poppies, marijuana and coca.
Sure, there are still laboratory-made drugs, but knocking out the nature's-made variety would yield real dividends I would think.
Thoughts?
