Poppies
Hi
I have what i think is an Oriental Poppy which is short, had large red flowers 2 weeks ago and has up to 10 green seed heads on it now. The look like a mans head with a very bad, flat haircut. I was playing with it and some white latex liquid came from it. After pricking a few of them and trying it im sure i got high and my tooth ache vanished for a couple of hours. is this what it think it is??????

There was a beautiful photo in the the Times a few weeks ago, of pink fields of opium poppies in Dorset, grown to produce morphine for hospitals! So apparently yes, in the Uk.
I think you should go to the dentist.

Hi Rich B. The poppy you have is an opium poppy which is an annual. The oriental poppy is a perennial and flowers earlier in the year. The seed pods on your plant will produce hundreds of seeds which will give you a good crop next year, for purely decorative purposes obviously.
Hi. from research this is an Oriental Poppy which has a very mild amount of Opium in its latex and skin of the pod. The real naughty type is Papaver Somniferum. You have to love the law...you can buy 2000 seeds off ebay for £1.50...legally....lol
Rich that looks like a papaver perennial poppy Didnt know they were addictive though thinking about my other half loves them!!
Anybody who considers self administering unknown concentrarions of unknown amounts of unknown opiates for fun deserves all they get. Opiates are poisons.

opiates are also essential drugs, without which many people would not survive operations.
