Unless you work for OPFL, I don't think it's safe to assume that
these are indeed Tasmanian poppies.
Ok, I'm not sure that they are Tasmanian, or what variety of Tasmanian poppy they could be, I was just letting people know that if they are, as the website claims they are, it's quite likely that they have little or no morphine content, and are poisonous. I wasn't saying that an OP selling opium poppies of any sort isn't dodgy or likely to attract attention, because it obviously is. You said that 'rumours' about people growing low-morphine poppies were bunk, I was explaining that that isn't the case, and that most poppies grown in Tasmania, the biggest medicinal opiate supplier, are designed to have no morphine. I think it's fair enough that anyone considering buying poppies advertised as being Tasmanian should know what that means if they're planning to do more than flower arranging with them. It is a strange product for an IOP to have, whatever sort they are.
Edit: Apparently thebaine is extremely toxic, as this link explains: http://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/alcoholanddrugs/info/thebaine01.html

What are the effects of thebaine poisoning?
The effect of thebaine is similar to strychnine poisoning.
Specifically it results in:
* life threatening convulsions
* a great deal of irritation to light, sound and touch
* pacing around and other quick body movements without apparent purpose
* muscle tremors and head, arm and leg movements caused by muscles contracting without voluntary control.
Since these poppies are grown alongside ones designed for high morphine and codeine content, and appear identical, I for one would want to be sure of which one it was.
