Hi there,
do someone know the legislation about poppy seeds. Is it legal to order poppy seeds on the net and to get it at home. What about it cultivation also?
Thanks

poppy seeds.... they sell them on bagels and i have a jar full of them i my kitchen. but they dont get you high as far as i know.

Opium comes from a different kind of poppy than the ones that come on bagels. I'm sure that it is illegal, though.

No, it's the same poppy. Seeds will get you high, but it requires a shitload of them, and the tea is a greasy, bitter, disgusting mess. Poppy seed bagels can (in theory, at least) give a false positive for opiates on a UA. Poppy PODS are the way to go. They are legal, assuming you plan to use them as floral decorations (which, of course, we all are!) Growing is a different story, if you have a half dozen plants mixed in with lots of other pretty flowers, the odds of you being prosecuted are next to nothing, if you have an acre of the things, or if the pods have been sliced to obtain opium, goodbye, don't forget to write!

i have 2 poppies growing in my front yard... my mom keeps wondering who is slitting the bulbs

Papaver Somniferum is what you want specifically, but other varieties of poppies will also produce an alkaloid-rich latex that can be dried and smoked. The seeds are legal, most people wouldn't recognize the plants themselves. I agree with andruejaysin, in that you shouldn't encounter any problems growing the things and once the petals fall off revealing the pods you can yank them and scrape.

How longs it take the plants to have their petals fall off?

check into you local laws in most places opium is legal to grow bubt illegal to harvest b/c its not really a plant but a weed..as for harvesting it the full grow process is 120 days they are also reseeding mmeaning you dont have to keep planting moore and trhey are easy as fuck to grow being a weed...

have ordered from there,
i dont think your break any laws untill you harvest any opium,

at that piont you do risk alot though.cultivating poppies for opium will look as if your a herion producer in a court,not just some dude wanting to ease pian,or catch a buzz.

erowid has lots of info on poppies
peace

There may be cheaper sites, but their quality is as good as it gets.
