"Whether or not the opium poppies in your garden are illicit depends not on what you do, or even intend to do, with them but very simply on what you know about them. Hence my warning: if you have any desire to grow opium poppies, you would be wise to stop reading right now." Opium Made Easy

I only noticed b/c I checking to see if my old poppy addict post got tagged with "opium."

IT DID NOT.

This article is awesome because it references the even awesomer Electric Cough-Syrup Acid Test by Jim Hogshire, which was also published in Harpers back in the mid-90s. What a find!
