they are good but check your local laws about opium...DONT SAY OPIUM OR POPPY! i cant stress this enough...say you are growing an herb garden and u want a list of herbs you can and cannot grow...a list of illegal and noxious weeds...if they ask the reason for asking is not for opium but St. John's Wort is on the likst of noxious weeds...when buying chicks and hens always are a good start for the beginner
