 Now if I am not mistaken these so called "Hens & Chicks" are actually somniferum. These being sold on Wally's Americansuperbuyworld shelves pretty much gives the states the ok to grow as much opium poppy as you want; unless,of course, you are actually caught processing, right? The packets read "Dry Pods for Arrangements" This eases my paranoia of having an outdoor poppy garden! All my indoor attempts failed.

They can only prosecute you if you have plants plus processing/opium paraphernalia or plants that are obviously being milked.
I really really really really doubt that you would ever get schnapped. Opium poppies grow fuckin everywhere.
NZ and US drug laws are pretty similar, there is a motorway here that has a thick belt (about 100m deep) of Papaver somniferum plants (confirmed by opium fiend friend of mine) for 30km straight. The road leads to our drug capital city, haha so you always see people "exploring" on the side of the road.
You would need to be a fucken retard to make it that obvious you are making/harvesting opium to get caught.

This is my exact stance on what the laws concerning plants should be!
All plants should be 100% legal to cultivate unless they are being processed into drugs.
All living and dried plants, cacti and fungi should be 100% legal!
So this would mean that people could grow any psychoactive botanical they wanted and as long as they kept the processing and ingestion out of veiw, inside their homes, they could produce enough material for personal use.
Those selling processed plants would be arrested.
This would keep dumbasses from ingesting powerful drugs, because you would have to grow it to be able to do it basically....
Things like pure DMT, heroin, Meth, cocaine would be illegal...
But things like Ayahuasca, Trichocereus and Peyote Cacti, Mushrooms, Salvia, etc.... These things would all remain legal.... In both their living and dried forms. (Mushrooms )
Sadly (for some of you) salvia extracts would be illegal...
But I really don't give a fuck. 
I'm good with smoking my sally leaf, munching on my Peyote, and sipping my pod tea....
The communities stance on drugs should be this- "All plants, cacti and fungi, living and dried, should be legal!"
People might actually buy that!
The Government, nor the people of the World will ever allow ALL drugs to be legal...
Why?
Because meth is bad...
Because Heroin is bad....
You people in the ODD need to get the fuck over that and stop doing that shit!
Don't shoot heroin! Smoke Opium!!!
Don't smoke meth! Chew Khat!!!
So...
Legal plants, cacti and fungi!!!
Anyways...that's my ideas on drug laws.

the reason psychodelic drugs are illegal is that they are mind expanding, and the government doesn't want people to question them or think

This is true.
But people do think...
And it would be easier to conveince people that plants should be legal, instead of trying to conveince them that ALL drugs should be legal.

definately, nothing that is natural should be illegal.
it's like the differences between:
coca leaves/ cocaine, crack
poppy/ opium, heroin
ayahuasca/ dmt crystals
when something is processed it becomes more of a street or party drug, with potential for abuse and definate potential for trafficking and abuse. basically,organics should be kept legal, if someone feels the need to try something, let them grow it.

I fail to see how smoking opium is really any better than shooting heroin. They are both highly addictive, and they both produce similar withdraw symptoms. Smoking opium destroyed many peoples live through out history, probably many more then Heroin. Sounds pretty hypocritical and stupid to me.

all somniferums are specifically illegal under the drug statutes in the US. There is no exception for decorative use. Additionally, you could be prosecuted by the chemical contents of the pods.
That said, I'm not aware of any prosecutions where there was not intent to consume evident, but that doesn't mean the law requires it, just that cultivation for decorative use is to some extent tolerated. That a particular store sells them is no defense.
And the selective prosecution laws are pretty worthless in most cases... you've really got to show inent to go after you when others weren't prosecuted due to political or racial factors. Hard sell.

in the US the opium poppy itself, save for the seed, is illegal. There is no requirement for any additional elements for a prosecution for possesion/ manufacture of the poppy or morphine.

Stop trying to push your ideals on other people. You live the way you choose to and let others do the same. Who are you to condone and condemn the forms of substances and methods of administration people choose? If you feel the use of synthetic substances is bad then don't do it and set an example, But please don't insult and condemn the the other members of this board for the way they choose to live. You believe in liberty don't you?

So you believe both the botanical specimen it's self and the chemical extracts and derivatives of the plant should be controlled by our government? Smoking opium has relieved stress, induced creativity, stopped anxiety and eased pain for many more people than it has ruined lives.
Again, this forum is not for sharing your ideals.

Eh I really hate to personify chemicals, but I'd agree on the meth (but keep in mind I also feel the same way about alcohol). My girlfriend can't even remember 3 years of her life, and I just hate the way it kills peoples inhibitions and turns them into impulsive animals (which has happened to everyone I know who started doing it, at some point, some sooner than others), all the while not really giving you anything real or beneficial to take away from the experience. Were only human, some things we just can't handle, I've never seen anyone "handle" crystal, and that's from first hand experience, not from being brainwashed by propaganda on tv. If meth and alcohol didn't exist I would be okay with that :/
