Plants grow heroin now?

Oops, probably shouldn't have been eradicating the poppy crop in Afghanistan, then

Is this yet another cancer cure that will never see the light of the day?

Title of article says cancer fighting, not cancer cure. HN title should be fixed.

Terrible title. In addition to the article saying nothing about a "cure" (as jinushaun pointed out), the substance in question was found a long time ago. What was actually found were the genes responsible for producing it. The "heroin plant" is what most people call an opium poppy. Heroin is a synthetic drug made using morphine as one of the precursors -- opium poppies contain no heroin per se. Cancer cure -> wrong. Found -> wrong. "Heroin plant" -> wrong.
