Opium poppies in Britain
"MikeCT" wrote in message news:38yDh.19209. ----- I'm shopping at Sainsbury's this morning where, at the end of the day, they are left with more rolls smothered with poppy seeds than sesame seeds. Obviously most Sainsbury's customers are not aware of the narcotic effects of poppy seeds, or they're very law abiding. MikeCT Seeds and young leaves contain no active alkaloids. Pods only and a little in the stems near pods perhaps. The baby plants are not too bad as a salad crop and poppy stems, leaves have been used as cattle fodder too. Les |
