Opium poppies
Before the war, opium poppies were grown and utilized in the production of barbiturates, such as cocaine. Decades after the Great War, the Mordinos of New Reno attempted to restart the cultivation of opium poppies under Myron's direction. They were unsuccessful, with Myron blaming the climate.
