Now, extracting the "narcotic" ingredient from the poppy plant is no easy chore. 
I don't know anyone who grows exotic poppy plants that has
 ever even bothered trying to extract the "sap" from a poppy plant.  

He he he . . .

It's just as easy as putting some dried pods in a coffee grinder and
then boiling it up. Strain and drink.
It's just poppy tea, and it's psychoactive as plants come, no
dificult extraction process at all.

There's plenty of rumors about poppies that have been grown
for low morphine content, etc., but that's bunk
I drank poppy tea for roughly three years - bought pods from
around the country, via mail order, and locally from craft
stores and the like.

They all had the same effect. Home grown pods work just as
well - you can buy poppy seeds from the grocery, plant them
in the spring and be a junkie by fall.

Because it's "all natural" and "just a tea," folks think that it's
OK and non-addictive, but that's not the case at all.
Coming off hydro is a walk in the park compared to coming off
a pod addiction - go to www.poppies.org and look in the recovery forums.

Pods are currently legal in the States for "floral decorations" but
now that places like this are selling them side by side with
pharmaceuticals I'd say it's only a matter of time until
the DEA gets funny.

Just as well, IMO - anyone's better off with a hydro, codeine, or whatever
addiction than that stuff - it's pure T bad news IME.

Bad news when an IOP has to refer it's clients to erowid.com
for product information - if you've never been there, just
check it out and you'll understand what I'm saying.
