They sun dry it in Afghanistan.I would be terribly afraid growing 100+ poppies outside where I live.. I hear they hit you big time if they think you're growing for opium

I just let it dry to putty like consistency and rolled little balls to smoke in a pipe. Got really doped up on that stuff 40 years ago.I would be terribly afraid growing 100+ poppies outside where I live.. I hear they hit you big time if they think you're growing for opium

All poppies have some level of opiates in them but the strain, Papaver somniferum, has the highest levels and is called the Opium Poppy because of that. Those are the seeds I got. Didn't cost much either. ravensongherbals.com

Also, I thought you had to refine it, in one step, after scraping it, to get the genuine clean & processed opium they used to dispense at opium dens in places like NYC, back in the day. Like in Once Upon A Time In America. I heard without refining it the smoke is harsh and makes you sick.
