No More Drugs

If opium stops working modern medicine would fall into disarray as suddenly there are no (presuming you mean all opioids) effective painkillers around for anything worse than a headache, except maybe cannabis for certain ailments.

This is a nightmare scenario.
 
At the start of 2010, Cocaine, Meth, Ecstasy, Opium and LSD(including all forms of branch off drugs) have no effect at all.
Well, I suppose the retailers would get desperate first, as they have their fixed expenses and their business is rather unforgiving of debts. There would probably be a wave of robberies on banks, jewelries,
and anywhere one could find something easily convertible into money. Meanwhile there would be a wave of internments
(some physical , some psychiatric) of those who used to be users. Some scandals are bound to happen, as some rather public personalities get uncovered as drug users. Many will try to find or even invent replacement drugs, both at the scholarly and at the amateur (empiric) level....
 
In the pass I have thought what would happen if they invent a pesticide or GM Germ that’s kills Cannabis Plants, Opium and Coco plants around the World and what may happen do the drug trade as it collapses.

first, I would taunt mmmeee0 unmercifully on here, at the loss of his most favorite of hobbies.

second, I would feel bad for all those undergoing surgery and whatnot, if pain killers don't work anymore...
 
Yeah, I think the world would overall be a much better place, so long as this only included illicit uses of drugs. No smack, speed or coke? Awesome. I saw the best minds of my generation, destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical...
