Why hasn't anybody proposed to engineer a poppy virus or spread a poppy-eating bug ? It is not even mentioned as a possibility in this high-profile report ? Dumbness ? Lack of imagination ?...or complicity ?
So we can eradicate H5N1, the phylloxera or any cereal plague but nothing should be possible when it comes to poppies ? Poppies have no parasite ? Are you kidding ?
If the stakes are so huge, surely the cost of developing such a solution represents a fraction of the cost that opium trade entails, no ?
OK, you know what ? I don't know shit about biology, but I bet that if they give me 1/100th of the drug eradication budgets in the world, I come up with a solution in no time !
