Nature will find a way, LOL. I can't wait to see the regulations pushed to prevent self-induced Hypocapnia.
I meant to add — I never even heard of this drug. Sounds like a good one, though!
Can’t have that. People might drink less. Adn we all know that would impact REVENUE.
I admit it, I thought the headline was about regulating saliva. Which wouldn’t happen in George Orwell’s most dystopic nightmare.
mind blowing drugs, whole language and constructivist math, American idol....many Americans love stupidity enhancers.
Thank goodness!!!!! I was afraid government was running out of things to regulate.
Saliva from humans has yielded a natural painkiller up to six times more powerful than morphine, researchers say.
The substance, dubbed opiorphin, may spawn a new generation of natural painkillers that relieve pain as well as morphine but without the addictive and psychological side effects of the traditional drug.
When the researchers injected a pain-inducing chemical into rats’ paws, 1 milligram of opiorphin per kilogram of body weight achieved the same painkilling effect as 3 milligrams of morphine.
The substance was so successful at blocking pain that, in a test involving a platform of upended pins, the rats needed six times as much morphine as opiorphin to render them oblivious to the pain of standing on the needle points.
Found the story here Natural-born painkiller found in human saliva Last year.
Semms like tobacco is worse than either of them.
I wonder how long until the idiots in DC make it a federal ban.
They sell Salvia plants when they come into season.
Thank God the government is there to protect us from this kind of thing.

Wondering if I should continue with the Lantana. I love the look and fragrance. On garden forums many stories of deadly animal poisonings and worries about children. My neighbor says it's also called the Patriot Plant.
Good grief! Now people who have been growing this for years in their gardens and unaware of the law change get a visit from the ninja squad? Insanity!
