BE WARNED!!!
Poppy pods, however innocent they seem are still a class A job! I was unlucky enough to get busted with some water extracted poppy goo. (not opium, but similar in appearance) I was given five years for 58 grammes. This was in Brecon, Wales, (UK) 1997 I was also sentenced to 1 year for just under an ounce of crappy hash.
Dont get busted in Wales, Their courts / judges are bloody inbred, redneck racist assholes, (and thats just the good points !)
One of the most harmful effects of illegal drugs is getting put away for possession . ALWAYS STASH YOUR GEAR WHEN TRAVELLING, AND DONT LEAVE ROACHES, RIZLAS ETC ON VIEW IN YOUR CAR.
