Letter: GM: government vs the people

I NOTICE we are being warned of an oncoming epidemic of heroin addiction. Perhaps the GM experts should turn their attention from messing about with our food and have a go at genetically modifying the opium poppy in ways that would render it useless. I imagine that means could be found to contaminate the organically produced species. It can be done in the case of wheat production, for example, without apparent difficulty.
