Interesting alkaloids of other poppies

Would there be any interesting alkaloids to extract from any of the following:
Papaver rhoeas Papaver bracteatum Papaver Orientale Argemone Mexicana Meconopsis Horridula Eschscholzia California
If so what kind of alkaloids and what effects/use may they have? Anyone tried any of these or other poppies?
I used a bunch of California dried plant material and made a tea. It made me tired and I went to sleep :P
Have not tried the other ones though.

Argemone mexicana contains: - berberine and protopine throughout the whole plant - coptesine (root) - argemonine (leaves) - sanguinarine (seeds) The herb and flowers are traditionally smoked for a sedative effect, supposed to be very mild...it's sanguinarine which has me curious tho, just cause of the name... no idea about the pharmacology (or toxicity) of any of these alkaloids but extracts of A. mexicana are a common as a "legal high" thing... Eschscholzia californica contains: - magnoflorin - canadinemethohydroxide - norargemonine - bisnorargemonine Traditionally the whole plant is harvested while in flower and either smoked or used in a tea...effects are supposed to be similar to A. mexicana. Don't know about the Papavers...I think P. orientale and P. bracteatum are the same plant? If so, then there's thebaine in it/them...doubt you'd be interested in that unless you're a chemist. No idea at all about the meconopsis.

Thanks for the info. I heard all of the mentioned poppies above have been used for medical reasons in past times, and for other reasons like simply getting a "high".
If anyone know anything more about these plants let me know, also if any poisouns parts of any of those poppies when consumed.
Thanks
