Hussein's imported stash?

1 acre is a sprawling field?
Admittedly, that’s more opium poppies than I happen to have, but this is not a huge operation.
To: Libloather
Don’t they know these drugs are illegal in California?

Let’s see now...
Watsonville, CA now 85% hispanic, mostly Mexican, probably 50% illegal.
Salinas, CA...same story.
Gee, whoever could be doing such a thing as producing heroin a few miles from these lovely towns?

Scared! Will I be bust by DEA or whoever if I buy a “Poppy” from that 70+yo lady that is front of the our Post Office each Memorial Day weekend? (Come and get me Copper?) :>)

1000’s of acres of these would be blooming behind our home in the Antelope Valley each spring.
To: ClearCase_guy
It takes 27000 poppies to make 4 pounds? And that’s with three harvestings. How do they make any money on that?

The California Golden Poppy is not an opium producer.

I’ve read that opium poppies were grown in 1880s Kansas but it was so labor intensive the attempt was given up.
To: Chuckster
I have a ton of these in my garden. I don’t think they have that opium ball on them though.

What’s the big deal? Marijuana is good for you. Isn’t that what everyone is saying? Opium poppies are just a plant. But tobacco is bad, evil even. Who would you rather pilot your plane? A dope smoker or a cigarette smoker? Actually I prefer a good cigar.
To: Libloather
Isn’t the poppy the California state flower?

California Poppies do have a slight narcotic effect though and a fresh plant tincture of the roots can be used as a mild pain reliever.
