Question for UK only/ ever successfully grown opium?

What potency are the wild ones? Even the dried ones that you buy that are allegedly "high-potency" are often so weak you can cook up a dozen and bairly feel a thing - and that's with zero tolerance. I'm presuming that the ones they grow professionally are the highest potency ones they can find.

EDIT: And as for the hilarious "Cold ice method for creating smokeable opium", I spent days following that and finished up with something that was about as potent as one paracetomol. And that's being generous.
 
Like everything plant based it varies. Getting seed from vendors & maybe reading opiophile to inform yourself which strains are liable to yeild the highest morphine content would be the way to go. Hens & chicks strain is reputed to be good tho I've never tried them myself.
 
Yeah, to my misfortune, I got the hens and chicks last time! Started off believeing the "don't take more than 3 or you'll overdose!!!" and didn't feel a fucking thing. Eventually I brewed up about 15 and got a very mild buzz before deciding it wasn't worth the effort or the mighty price.
 
Dont believe this my mum has bought poppy seeds .. my eyes lit up with joy only to read on the packet

"corn poppy"

arghh im never going to win xD
 
I have also noticed that some supermarkets carry Somniferum. They seem to be a bit cagey about putting the full latin taxonomic name though. However, if you look through the 2 or 3 varieties of poppy they sell, the latin names are there on the non interesting varieties.

Bit of a giveaway really.

Cannot attest as to sap quality but if you are of a paranoid frame of mind you can buy for cash with no paper trail.

Oh well at least I didn't bother myself. Don't take more than three is just the ultimate disclaimer tho. I'm surprised they were expensive, somniferum is maybe a quid a packet in garden outlets & you get about a zillion, or perhaps slightly less, seeds.
 
Any poppy head will give you a thousand seeds. Went for a walk today and was suprised to see how advanced the poppies in peoples gardens are this year. Unknown for them to be ready in May but could be a first for 2011.
 
Once you get a few growing and let them self seed they'll start to populate the neighbouring areas very very quickly.

Indeedy. 'Tis a strange old start to the year this one. Where we are, all the trees are in leaf, and most of the fields are bare because the land is dust-bowl dry and the farmers seeds are just not growing. Went for a cycle ride today and kept getting a face full of soil dust blowing off the fields in clouds. Quite surreal.

Anyway, I digress sorry....
 
Lucky u man !!

What ive been looking for is the pod its self ... does it have that pod while they are in bloom or does that only come after the petals drop off ?

The "pod" you see before the bloom is just a flower bud waiting to open.

Then it opens, the petals will only stay intact for a day or two, and you'll see the spherical central pod, this will swell over the next few days and change colour, going a greyish bluey colour instead of green.

You should try and pick when the colour has changed, and it's fully swollen, but best to pick after a few days of dry weather.

if it's been raining a lot i'd wait and pick after a couple dry days.

Sometimes you got no choice though. %)
 
Or where, exactly, they grew them. Chances are their descendants flourish today.

Can you tell us, Fastnbulbous? I'm sure Beefheart and Braveheart would approve.
 
It was an old 'ministry of medicine' WW2 film I saw it on (like the one where they were using sheep to test anthrax bombs on some scottish island that's still got anthrax spores on it), didn't give any locations, just had this voiceover giving statistics as to alkaloid content of opium from scottish & indian sources; got to see it because it was part of archive at the place i did my degree.

One thing though, harry enfield & paul whitehouse have got the structure & language of the bloke doing the voiceovers for wartime information films off perfectly; this film was one of those
 
just done a massive walk around my area to places i thought i would of surely found some

not 1 , not even the none opium types ..

i think they must have fucking eradicated in our area or something cos the place i just went a walk would of been the place to find some if there was going to be any

gutted , absolutely gutted

least i got a good walk in the nice weather
