    If we can farm nicotine with modified tomato plants… Can we grow cocaine tomatoes, which are easy as hell to grow? Asking for a friend.

      I’ll settle for good tomatoes year-round, minus the coke. I mean, sure, coke tomatoes would totally supercharge everyone’s summer. But then the Big Dark of winter would suck so much more.

        Do you have any concept of manic winter cleaning? Have some ceviche or tacos with salsa and get productive, clean the house with a toothbrush or write your novel and accompanying screen play during those long winter months.

        S.A.D. no more, geek on tomatoes and get shit done.

        Tobacco takes about 90-120 days, tomato is 70-90 days.

        Tomatoes also produce a large amount of seeds/fruit and are substantially easier to grow densely in a canopy with under hanging fruit.

    As always, it would be simpler to use yeast… It’s going to get wild when these yeast strains get into the illicit market and people are literally brewing up coke or morphine in their bathtub.

      I have actually wondered why this isn’t a thing. You can order a yeast 2.0 sample from a supplier and the relevant DNA strand from a DNA printing company, multiply the DNA and introduce it to the yeast and you’re game.

        I think it’s the “introduce it to the yeast” part that’s the hard part. But I can’t imagine the types of precautions the people who already have a morphine producing yeast strain (yes some people already invented it) must take. The illicit value of that is like priceless.

          As I understand the process is fairly straightforward - yeast picks up dna from the environment, so the process involves creating a dna strain which includes both the intended change and a marker change, like resistance to something that would normally kill the yeast. Then introduce the dna to the yeast and introduce the poison which will kill the yeast that didn’t pick up the dna.

          Anyway, that’s what I seem to remember from synth bio course from years ago, I might have misunderstood tho.

            The hard part for someone trying to do it in a bathtub would probably be making sure it picks up the dna you’re wanting and not something else randomly from the environment

              That’s why you introduce the marker (like resistance to a common antibiotic ) in the same strand, then put antibiotic in the bathtub to kill the rest. Of course its a good idea to wash the tank first…

            Good question.

            One source (2023) says

            That quantity is estimated to produce about two million grams of cocaine, the publication reported. Today, according to pharmaceutical listings online, that’s worth about US$2 billion

            ??? That’s … Not right

            Bulk value 50 million for 2 million g (2000kg). Going by my (likely now outdated) last known value for a key at around 25k.

            They’re saying it’s 1000$/g?!?

            Am I tired or are these numbers just completely bonkers?

            I don’t care if it’s the purest shit, that is insane.
