I know this is way off topic so I want to make it very cleaar that I do not advocate the use of opium, poppies, or any other form of opiate.I got it from dried poppies. Craft stores used to carry them. Made them into a tea, or powdered and ingested. Actual opium tar (the resin that exudes from the poppy head) is hard to come by unless your growing them yourself, or live in another country. When one dries poppies, as for making wreaths etc., the opium gets dried right along with it and often little brown blobs of opium will be stuck to the outside of the dried pod. So technically, as long as your possesing dried poppies for making a bouquet of dried flowers, you're allowed to posses a schedule II drug. Ingesting opium this way is identical to smoking it, just lasts longer but does not hit you as hard.
------ > Again, I do not advocate the use of poppies in any manner. They are addictive (VERY), and are illegal when made into straw (crushed up) as a shedule two drug. Again, the addiction sucks, however if your a heroin addict I've heard they can be beneficial in coming clean.
And yes ive read the book. It is the one with a reddish pink poppy flower just starting to come of its casing on the front cover, right? Interesting...
