title pretty much says it. this stems from an online debate i wa in, and can't seem to find any info on. So there are 16 variations of poppy flower than produce the same seeds that can be used in cooking. my proponent says that would mean the chances of finding food grade poppy seeds of the Papaver somniferum (opiate poppy) would be slim to none, and would more than likely mean all seeds are bunk. But i know this to be false through personal experience (constricted pupils, euphoria, relaxation, and general intoxication similar to morphine sulfate).
It would seem the big-pharma company's that use the opium poppys to make medicines would be left with poppy seeds as waste. The waste could easily be stored at food grade levels, as medical is already higher. venture capitalism says they should sell all the seeds that they would throw away, and that's not even where their money is coming from. They probably whole sale them at dirt cheap prices, prices no one growing plants on land could compete with. So, with the exception of the white poppy seeds (?) it would seem all food grade seeds (ones you eat, not plant) would be of the opium variety, right?
