That's sad that the person got arrested as P. somniferum as sold in so many seed catalogs and many people, from the old lady down the street the the druggy up the corner grow it, but for different uses.
I have bought somniferum seeds from Ebay (~ year ago), but they were exceedly hard to grow. Could get them to sprout, but would not get any further growth. So I gave up on them. They were a decorative red variety. Most people say they are fairly easy to grow (following proper instrustcions), but I guess I had bad luck.
There were several sellers on ebay (10? 20?) at the time I purchased some P. somniferum, are they going to get all of them too? And all the seed catalogs? What's next?
