They can’t prove I know what it is tho. 😏

Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have?

In the US it’s illegal to grow poppy if you know what it is

You need to use a razor to bleed the poppies for their latex, which is opium.
I’d say if you’re found with poppies that you’ve done this to then there’s a very good chance you knew what you were doing.

The little seeds on bagels?

Yup
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 days ago
But…why are bagel seeds illegal to grow? And why aren’t bagel producers getting in legal trouble?

Similar to growing hemp instead of cannabis. Though I’m not that familiar with the specifics of different poppy strains

Poppy seeds grow into opium plants if you put them in the ground.

Only the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. The rest are just fine.

What are you talking about that’s the breadseed poppy.
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Seems you’re correct. So how are poppy seeds so common if they’re Papaver somniferum? Weird.

It’s all about ignorance and intent. If you grow P.somniferum ornamentally, and/or shake it out for seeds it’s fine. You can even sell the dried pods for floral arrangements. But if you make tea out of the dried pods, or milk the latex it’s illegal. Which is insane since the pharmaceutical opioids are so much more harmful and dangerous.
