Yeah, most people grow it for the opium. Either that or poppy tea, same effect. You're thinkining of heroin, you need a lot of poppys to make heroin.

Youed be amazed what you can get from just 4 or 5 plants.I scrape them with a pin not a knife as this makes the cuts heal slower allowing more sap to flow out.From about 5 to 10 mins work you get enougth opm to have a nice little smoke If you live in a rainy area(i do)then i find it best to scrape with a pin going around from seed head to seed head,then when complete go back to the first scrape and collect the sap on a knife blade.Then just leave the blade inside somewere warm to set.once nice and crystaly brown.Scrape of the knife and smoke
I also thought youed need fields to get anything but i was wrong.

they are easy to get. you can find other varieties on ebay too. if all else fails, there's mccormick's poppy seeds in the spice section at the super market.

Papaver Somniferum can be bought from any big seed catologe and in most garden centers in the uk but god knows in the usa as i think bush would ban anything he was told to.Most types should work out well but avoid the doubles.An easyer way is to keep you eye out for them and just pick a seed head.They grow as a road side weed in the uk And are a garden escapee.I.e they have natralised here. So im sure you can find em with out paying to much. i.e u.k price one pack 200 seeds=?1 or less.so dont bye from some drug related site charging say ?10 a seed packet. But thats IMHO Grows like a bloody weed and always apears next year some were you dont expect it to lol.

poppy seeds are cheap and readily available, and the ones at the grocery are the right ones, if not the best. it only takes a few pods to collect a gram or two of resin over a few weeks....smoke the resin with a bowl of your fav medicine.... the acres and acres part is totally about refining and extracting and hardcore dumbass heroin shit.... grow pretty flowers....

Well just thinking back to an article that I read in National Geographic about the Poppy fields in Pakistan and Afghanistan, You would see a dozen or so workers slicing the pods and then collecting later on when it was dried up and reduced to resin. In such poor country they are the only viable crop due to the minimal growing conditions and maitnence it needs, not to mention the world demand for the opium to be made into Illict narcotics. Ok...lol...what was I going to say again? Oh! So you can get a relativly good experience with just a back yard full of poppy? I was just surprised that only a gram of the resenous extract is enough AND it only takes 3-4 pods for a gram???? Thats pretty amazing.....Can anybody compare smoking this to any presciption opiates like Codieine?

i have smoked the resin from several random poppy pods that i have found in people's yards (silly, i know, but it tastes like really good opium, and usually you feel it....) i just meant that the resin itself is not so hard to come by. a few pods (on the plants) will produce resin for a couple weeks (or a few days) and they can be nicked every day and scraped later for an accumulated total of a gram or two from only a few pods...i wasn't being precise at all. it is rather simple though, and the nice warm body high is super-pleasant.....
