It is illegal if you KNOW that you can use them for opium. If you are
ignorant of this fact, then it is not illegal to grow them. Another case
where the government punishes knowledge.

I saw a photo from a trip to WDC and around some of the groverment
building, that very same flower was growing and blooming like mad. The
trip the guy took was last year, so I have to wonder if they are there
this year or not.

The Calif. poppy in navie to the west cost and not very useable.

You called me a stoner and a rock hound. And only because I said that I
didn't think poppies were illegal since they were the state flower of
California. You always assume someone's a druggie cuz they know a
state's
official flower? I know other state's flowers too, does that make me a
drug dealer?

LOL

Brigitte

Those aren't opium poppies....But you can find opium poppies all over the
place, growing 'wild', or get them from seed catalogs.

(or you could about 5 years ago, the last time I looked)

As for them being "illegal", what the light does *THAT* mean? Some group
of people put something on a piece of paper. Do *they* necessarily follow
it? Often not.

Pot is illegal too, but about half the people in America smoke it at one
time or another, and 10's of millions do so regularly.

Raw opium is a nice thing to have around. Mellow you out REAL good :-)

One heck of a lot easier to produce than alcohol, distilled or otherwise.


(tell "Cereus-validus" to bottom post and trim them too, if he wants me to
read his posts -- if he doesn't, it will apparently be no great loss..)



AC



just cuz you like it dont make it legal.

Those poppy seeds in your pantry may be opium poppy seeds. To be US legal
they roast them before import. Are they black? roasted. or brown? unroasted,
probably very old.

One should note, that if your daily breakfast has a poppy seed bagel
or roll in it..you may indeed test positive at your next drug
screening.

Its a fairly common false positive, and I believe that the followup
test to determine the exact substance will show it to be the seeds,
but many companies dont pay for the followup, and you may be screwed.

You may be more naive than you think.

The California Poppy is endemic to the west coast and is a very popular
ornamental garden plant there. I have seen many miles of it growing along
the highways.

In my yard the California Poppy self sows like crazy and would take
over if I let it.

It has nothing to do with being stoned. What he said was that the California
poppy is not a true poppy.

Oh, I thought I was addicted to the herron in the seeds! lol

A stoner is a term for a recreational herb abuser.
