opium poppies


Recommended Posts

Ok ...

I will clear a few things up here ...

Growing poppies and tobacco is illegal ...and can carry fines both federally and state.

 

Firstly Poppies.

I have been an avid seed collector and horticulturist my whole life the number of cottage gardens I have walked into and seen poppies growing ...I have lost count by women and men in there 60's plus from seed they either obtained or sourced through family means ...they grow it year after year knowing full well they shouldn't ...but have nothing to hide as they do it for it;s beauty nothing more ...

so if the police came in they would most likely only get a warning .

So few people no what they look like unless they are seeding and unless there is signs of processing and you are doing other things ...you are highly unlikely to get into trouble especially in the small numbers ..but not to say you couldn't .

2. For the amount you would have to grow to support a habit ...you wouldn't be able too without someone noticing ....and besides what ever you did make you would use and it would be gone quickly off a small plot ...so either way your really wasting your time except for a one off curiosity try ...and besides ..even if you got addicted ...you would be out of it very soon ...

And anybody doing it without knowledge ...your being foolish.

 

And if you still want to experiment move to Tassie ...or move to ebay land  (Beware most are not the real thing and are a scam)

Most people who grow tobacco say it tastes no good due to most tobacco is soaked after it is dried ...to give it flavour and like taylor's ...have the component that keeps them alight ( now i think that has been removed in oz due to bushfire regs ) or so i have heard ...not sure ....do your smoke go out these days?
