Incidentally, the first 5 inches of the stem usually contain about 1/3 the alkaloids as the pod, with the rest of the stem being practically worthless. Also, a lot of the time I see pods on eBay described as 'broken or in pieces', and I've actually received pods that were 'broken or in pieces', but were not described that way. Not exactly primo pods for flower arrangements, but these eBay vendors know what most of their customers want and that as long as they know they're getting their content, it doesn't make a fuck if they're 'broken or in pieces'.
malfunkshun said:growing poppies ain't easy. i've tried several times and they grow into tiny little sprouts, dozens or hundreds of them, then they invariably die. i can't even get them to the 'lettuce' stage. apparently they require a lot of constant care, a very controlled environment (humidity, temperature, light) and a good dose of luck too. i've heard that they're virtually impossible to grow in Texas, where i live, and i can attest to that because i've tried.
Fuck yeah man! that is pretty cool. I wish I had em in my yard.SimFromStoke said:poppies grow everywhere in england.i went back to my mums house the do my cold turkey and she had about 12 papiver somniferums growing right outside my bedroom window.not nice to see everyday when you are trying to give up heroin i tell you.i lasted three days before i snook out one evening and scored all the poppy pods with a stanley knife.the white latex just oozed out straight away.i left them an hour and went back out and scraped the gunk off em.i scraped the brown gunk off the knife and onto some foil and smoked the lot.i didn't get a mad buzz off it but i definately felt it.i slept soundly that night.
got beans? said:because its slavery. the people that cultivate opium are usually from third world countries and are either willing to work for very little, forced into it, or have no other way to make money. its a labor intensive task that would seem completely fruitless to virtually anyone from the US except for opiophiles
