I've got breadseed poppies


You know that Papaver somniferum is illegal to grow, in the US, right? (Not
that any black helicopters are going to be circling your house, heh. But,
they /are/ illegal).


Opium poppies are perfectly legal to cultivate in the US. It is illegal
to process them for opium production. You cannot be busted for simply
having poppy plants on your property. However, you are subject to
arrest and prosecution if there is visible evidence of deliberate opium
collection such as scored capsules.
