I've heard that TECHNICALLY it is illegal to grow opium poppies. However, opium poppies are a somewhat common ornamental flower. If you have a big garden full of roses, gardenias, daffodils, tulips, and have a few poppy plants without any evidence of opium harvesting, you may likely be within the law. However, if you have some poppies with their unripe pods slit, you are basically guilty of opium cultivation. So is poppy cultivation technically legal or illegal within the USA? Also, does each state law vary?
 
Questions regarding legal issues aren't allowed in OD or elsewhere on BL anymore.

(technically no, they're illegal - according to US Federal law, you can be arrested for possession, purchase, sale or anything to do with them)

Wow. I ask a simple question and I get met with ridicule and vindictiveness. A simple answer with some factual basis would be enough. What happened to this site? It used to be a database of knowledge. Now it's a database of scorn and ridicule. Ban me. I don't care. Go to hell.
 
You are better off searching on google for this info. If you find sources that say it is illegal, then don't do it. If you find sources that say that it is legal in your state, then double-check with your lawyer.

This website is a harm reduction forum. Poppy cultivation does not fall under the umbrella of harm reduction. That is why you are getting the answers that you are getting, and the other reason for these answers is because they really are the best answers we can give. If this was a legal forum then I would agree that these answers may not be ideal, but alas, that is not the case.

You got met with the rules.

Legal issues and also drug cultivation are not topics that we allow in OD.
