Just thought I'd chime in and show some of the poppies I've grown during the past two years 
I grow mine together with Papaver rhoeas to enhance biodiversity in my garden. I only grow P. somniferum as an ornamental, so I can't attest for the alkaloid content of any of the cultivars I've grown. I've made tea from P. rhoeas though, it's really great for insomnia.
P. somniferum 'Lauren's grape'



P. somniferum 'Giganteum'


P. somniferum 'Hungarian Blue'


P. somniferum 'Crimson Feather'

Some P. rhoeas mixed with P. somniferum in the patch

Amphora produced a few like this:

And then I believe this is the result of pollinating an industrial poppy with Papaver bracteatum pollen:

I had several After Midnight plants with flowers with only 2 or 3 petals. This is one with two:

I already posted the image showing the After Midnight flower with a single fused petal. It's an interesting line. Frank Morton is an amazing breeder of these plants.
I don't use opiates but I love poppies and cooking with and eating poppy seed. I grew many poppies last year of over a dozen forms and cross pollinated them manually with paintbrushes in the mornings. I've been breeding them for about 5 years now.

My pictures cannot do it justice, but you can get a slightly better idea of it's appearance with this image:

Note the green yarn tag, I used these to mark specific flowers so that I can keep track of what flower corresponds to what pod when I collect seeds. Though I cut open the pods in the garden, when the seed is ripe, and dump the seed into a container and then cut the plant down into pieces and leave it where it is, so as to ensure that I am in compliance with all federal laws. I never even take the pods indoors.
I have about a gallon of mixed seeds from last year.
