Seeds to share
I've got breadseed poppies, little single orange poppies, Angelica
gigas, Dracocephalum moldavica (thanx, Amos!), and will have calendulas a bit later on, to share with anyone who might want some. Send me your snail mail address via annbal at comcast dot net if you're interested. The poppies, Moldavian Dragonsheads and calendulas reseed for me reliably every year, they're some of the volunteers I've talked about in my posts. I've also got larkspurs out there but not so many this year, so I can't share any for this season. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

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. |

Opium poppy plants are scheduled in the US. Deliberate cultivation of the plant is actually illegal, but since these plants are so common and have many uses other than drug production, cultivators are rarely prosecuted unless they are growing conspicuously large quantities or are otherwise clearly engaged in drug production. If you are bothered by law enforcement for having a few poppy plants on your property, claiming they were not planted but volunteered should get you off the hook unless, of course, you've been slashing those pods. I apologize for misinformation. |

I apologize for misinformation. I've told this story before here, but years ago. The seeds I've offered were given to me originally by a little old lady over in Scituate (she was a wonderful gardener, of course she's gone now, and so is her garden). She had them growing in her garden for years and years - until an overzealous new cop saw them and decided to 'bust' her for them. It made the local papers. The charges were dropped and the cop subjected to much ridicule. They haven't bothered any of us again. Of course if I was carving up the seedpods and harvesting the resulting sap I'd be in a bit of trouble, but since they're right next to the busy road I live on and the police have full view of them I'm pretty sure they'll not bother with me. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

Here in Indiana, I got my current crop of Heritage Bread-seed Poppies from one of the Landmark Homes in the area. They sell them in their gift shop. |

Opium poppies are perfectly legal to cultivate in the US. Ya think? Better brush up on your Federal Regulations: [Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 21, Volume 9] [Revised as of April 1, 2006] [CITE: 21CFR1308.12] TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS CHAPTER II--DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PART 1308 -- SCHEDULES OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES Schedules Sec. 1308.12 Schedule II.
