I mean the US DEA has a colossal budget that it spends year after year in trying to block the traffic into the states. It's not working. Why not spend all those millions on research into altering the plants genetic make up to render it harmless? We could do the same thing with rap music artists. (Something else that gets up my nose)
because most of these drugs are grown and harvested on private land by the drug dealers themselves. the areas where it grows wild are probably only known about by locals for their own use.
besides it would take years and years to perfect the technique and many, many more to put into practice and even then unlikely to succeed to any great solution
