another question i have that wasnt covered in the write-up: do poppies stand straight up during growth or do they flop over at any time?
Falling over means they're not getting enough light. If you're growing indoors and it happens shortly after planting it's a lost cause. Outdoors, while flowering you should be fine.
poppies typically 'fall over' but then after they start growing a stronger root system they easily correct for that. but, like he said, if it happens when you are growing inside, it is a lost cause, probably fungus, esp if you are using those peat pots (DONT USE THEM, they hold water too well and encourage the fungus that knocks them over). having a small fan blow gently against them (when growing inside) can help them by giving the stems something to fight against which strengthens them

Here are some more pictures of my garden. I have poppies growing in 4 different areas. Gigs, Danish Flags, Persian Blue, Hungarian Blue, Hens & Chicks, Black Clouds, & White Clouds. Some have just started blooming, while others (planted later) are a little behind but are showing signs of blooming soon. The pics in my previous post are the most mature of my plants right now. Some with pods are already maturing. Here are some earlier shots....
Here is my upper flower bed at about 5 weeks :
And again a couple weeks later :
Here is a Danish Flag at about 5 weeks :
And then againa couple weeks later :
Here are some Black Cloud Peony Poppies that I bought at my local grocer (Thriftway) when they were about 8" tall. The tag said "Papaver Somniferum". I couldn't beleive my eyes. I bouth all they had. When I asked when they'd be getting more, they made something up like "they're out of season". I think they later realized that they were selling illegal opium poppies. I live near the border of Canada (Seattle area). Maybe that's how they slipped through. Has anyone ever bought Somniferums from a local grocery store nursury before. And NO, I'm not talking seeds, I'm talking actuall plant starts. Anyways, here's a pic of them a few weeks in :
And then again alittle later :
And now in full bloom :
I bought these Danish Flag and White Clouds when they were 8" starts at another local nursury here in Washington State :
Here they are ready to bloom at about 4' tall :
They now stand a soaring 5 and a half feet tall in full bloom :
See above post for a close-up of one of the Danish Flags. And yes, I bought these at my local nursury here in the USA. Anyone ever been able to do that?

i live in tasmania and was wondering when the best time to score the pods would be. we have thousands of hactares of poppies all around and I live 2 mins up the road from a paddock full of poppies so I have easy access. was also wondering when to get seeds from them?

This thread is NOT about discussing anything beyond Opium, but since some people are curious as to what happens next in the illicit opiates trade, here's a pictorial, and let the last word be said about this.

I've had a lot of trouble germinating poppies. they either take a long time (around a month) to sprout, or never do at all.
I'll be doing some experimenting on my own (such as putting well-watered peat pots that have been sown with seeds into the fridge), but can anyone post a good list of the conditions needed to germinate the seeds?
I've tried looking in this thread... but honestly, it's so massive that searching it is pretty intimidating.
If what I request has allready been posted, perhaps someone can link the post number?

Hi, I have heard that you can just buy the poppy seeds and make a tea from those to feel some effects. Is this true(everything I've read says yes) I read that poppy seeds DO have trace amounts of morphine and codeine so you'd only need to take like a gram of seeds or more in tea for a high. This would be better than growing due to illegality I would think. Any links or info??

Peat pots work great, poppies dont mind the acidic medium, they do just fine.
Start em in peat pots, and then transfer, thats what I do.

Peat pots are empty containers used for starting plants from seed, the response was intended for the person above you, as you can notice by the [Reply to] feature.
As for your question, no. Poppy seeds are an unrealistic means of obtaining an opiate for consumption. The seeds may contain trace amounts of actives coating them, but they in themselves do not contain opium. I understand this is why eating a Poppy seed muffin will give a false/positive on a drug test. I've heard estimates that around 450gm seeds brewed as a tea may give effects, others may debate this but the important thing is that the seeds also contain heavy metals and should not be consumed in large quantities if at all.
Oh yeah, it's potentially deadly too: http://poppyseedtea.com/
I hope that wasn't too offensive of an explanation 
Happy Growing!
