And finally this altogether $20 well spent
Being Canadian I have no problem getting poppy seed. It is legal to grow poppies just don't be milking them.I grew papaver somniferum a few times.. first time from McCormick spices seed. Grew white bloom flowers that I made a small ball of opium from.. smelled and tasted good but didn’t get you high. McCormick uses altered seed that doesn’t produce morphine I guess. Second time I bought the seed from Canada and it worked..
Some very pretty poppies there @oldmaninbc
I was an opiate opioid addict from 1998 to 2015. Got addicted to OxyContin/oxycodone when they first came out was prescribed to them. They were prescribing it left and right in the late 90’s.Being Canadian I have no problem getting poppy seed. It is legal to grow poppies just don't be milking them.
I did order papaver somniferum from the UK one time and had to sign for them at the post office. The mauve/pinkish colored poppy I have grown for about 25-30 years. It is a mix of Nepalese and Hen & Chicks, the chick part of the cross is completely gone. With the Hen & Chicks you get these little mini pods growing around the central pod. It is a papaver somniferum as well. The color of the Hen & Chicks did transfer to the Nepalese. The newest one I have is the very dark colored flower poppy called Black Swan it is a papaver somniferum as well. I'm sure some will cross with my other, it will be interesting to see the outcome next year.
I grow them because I like poppy flowers. I am a chronic pain person and have a prescription for pain medication, since 2010.
Washington has good apples. I am not sure if I have tried Cosmic crisp or not. I really like apples and eat them almost everyday when in season. So I eat different varieties but forget their names. Ambrosia is one of my favorites.These are kind of new apples with a name like that they grabbed me View attachment 19044808 View attachment 19044809
I have never had an addiction in the sense your referring to. I do have a physical dependency but not the mental addiction. I have taken pain medication everyday since 2010, twice, I have on my own lowered my use. The doc was all but shoving them down my throat at one time. I do not like the effects of opioids, it is not something I enjoy, I use them out of necessity. In all those years I have never once taken more than prescribed.I was an opiate opioid addict from 1998 to 2015. Got addicted to OxyContin/oxycodone when they first came out was prescribed to them.

About to hop on the John Deere
I also think, just because, say a person like cannabis, that doesn't mean you will like other drugs. Although there are people who believe that. Personally, I find very few drugs to my liking.opiates are great medicine but must be used with caution/respect for it. I haven’t had any in years.. when my mother in law died she had some morphine left over. I broke my foot during the beginning of Covid and didn’t want to go the hospital so I used the left over morphine. Don’t make me want more so.. I guess you can grow out of or move on from some addictions.
Must be some wonderful smells going on. All that sparkly stuff making a sticky mess of your hands, what more could you ask for.
I really dig the Dapple Dandy pluots at price chopper/market32... havent seen those around my way yet. Looking decent.
