A long time ago I found out that apparently there is this orchid called the "Broad-leaved Helleborine" who's nectar contains trace amounts of naturally occurring Oxycodone. Would it be possible to genetically engineer it to produce far more than trace amounts of oxy? It would be so cools to drink Oxy Nectar lol.
It would also be cool if they could genetically alter yeast to produce oxy through this same mechanism, much like they are trying to do with yeast producing Morphine from adding Opium Poppy genetic instructions into the yeast. Actually the yeast thing, although I don't have understand it at all, seems like the possibilities could wind up being practically endless, as long as you are using plant/fungus based instructions. Meaning tons of natural drugs produced easily and cheaply, such as Cocaine, Nicotine, Morphine, Codeine, 7-HOM/Mitragynine, THC, DMT, Ephedrine, Mescaline, Psilocybin, Ibogaine, Tramadol (from that African shrub that apparently contains it), Cathinone, GHB (from Red Wine), etc.
Also, while we're on the subject, why aren't they genetically modifying Hemp flower to produce high levels of Delta 8, Delta 10, THC-O, THC-A, HHC, PHC, etc.? Is this at all even possible? Could you even get weed to grow unrelated substances like DMT or Morphine? I feel like this is a really cool discussion we should be having. The future of drugs are natural drugs and precursors being made from synthetically tweaked natural sources, which is kind of ironic and trippy when you think about it. Wouldn't it be crazy to drink a morphinated beer? Or smoke a joint that is naturally produced Changa (meaning that the bud produces DMT as well as a smokeable MOAI, along with its normal cannabinoids)? Thanks all.
