-Caveat Lector- A press release states: Super Opium Poppy "Scientists in Australia have genetically engineered poppy plants capable of producing twice the opium. Australia produces about 25 percent of the world's legal opium. Senior police sources fear drug gangs, who have already stolen more than 50,000 poppy heads this year, could target seeds from the new super poppy." ----------------------------------- Hmong-Australian Resource Page; Tasmanian Hmong immigrants http://www.hmongnet.org/hmong-au/hmongtas.htm (Tasmania is the sole region in Australia where Opium poppies are legally grown- of course this would include the superdope...) Ya think those poppy thieves would really be interested in such seeds? Is the "War on Drugs" a parallel of "supply side economics"? The BBC correspondent in Rangoon says the military government claims that Britain and the US have a special responsibility to attend the conference because they are two of the largest heroin consuming countries. But Britain maintains that the Burmese generals are protecting and profiting from the drugs trade rather than suppressing it. Burma flatly denies this, but says it needs international support if it is to totally eradicate the problem. Our correspondent says that helping Burma to fight the drugs menace would undermine existing sanctions and lend legitimacy to the regime. But failing to do so could deny the West an important victory in the battle to keep drugs off the streets, according to our correspondent. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_284000/284280.stm Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
