Kudzu; an experiment in soil conservation gone wrong.(A similitude for Democrat policy.)
Since its not going away:

...Kudzu’s root, flower, and leaf are used to make medicine.
People use kudzu to treat alcoholism and to reduce symptoms of alcohol hangover, including headache, upset stomach, dizziness, and vomiting. Kudzu is also used for heart and circulatory problems, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart failure, and chest pain; for upper respiratory problems including sinus infections, the common cold, hay fever, flu, and swine flu; and for skin problems, including allergic skin rash, itchiness, and psoriasis.
Some people use kudzu for menopause symptoms, weight loss, exercise performance, muscle pain, measles, dysentery, stomach pain (gastritis), fever, diarrhea, thirst, neck stiffness, and to promote sweating. Other oral uses include treatment of polio myelitis, encephalitis, migraine, deafness, diabetes, nerve pain and vision loss associated with diabetes, and traumatic injuries.
Health providers in China sometimes give puerarin, a chemical in kudzu, intravenously (by IV) to treat stroke due to a blood clot, as well as for back pain, heart attacks, and to reduce cholesterol levels in people with heart disease.”
An invasive species. I do not think there is enough illness or even drunkenness in the U.S. to eliminate Kudzu.
(If kudzu encountered Japanese knot weed, which one would win?? National Socialists vs. Stalinist Bolsheviks?)
I had read kudzo had medicinal properties, but hopefully there will be room in the world for other medicinal plants too.
