Welcome to the BUZZWORD website. Science Wins the War On Drugs! This is a headline most people would like to read, but until now the advances of science had not permitted such a headline to be seriously contemplated. Not only has the advance of science been rapid, but real world tests for agricultural biocontrols for both the coca shrub and the opium poppy have been successfully accomplished. Now it is a case of political will matching the advance of science, because, in the real world, illicit drugs are grown in countries with the tacit consent, or actual participation, of sovereign nations. BUZZWORD is one scenario which might lead to victory in a war fought with many casualties, and up till now, with little hope for an end in sight. Thanks for your interest.
Frequently Asked QuestionsLet’s begin at the very beginning. Mycoherbicides (fungal pathogens) are drawing attention from the global community as a potential means of permanently eliminating drug-producing plants, and many other pest plants as well. Advocates maintain these pathogenic fungi are safe, specific to the illicit crop intended for control and environmentally compatible. Opponents raise concerns of human and plant toxicity and severe ecological consequences. Here are some frequently asked questions (and answers).
