Default Opium poppies in Britain

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.

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.
