Nothing prevents you from just growing your own opium poppies, it is Perfectly legal to grow them, they grow wild in half of this country, you can buy the seeds off Amazon. It is only a supposed crime to harvest the Opium. Grow your own and learn how to make Tea!!
I read it’s hard to get the tea right.
You don’t want an opioid habit. I was run over by an illegal who was drunk at the time. Literally flattened, like you see in cartoons. Was on morphine for several months. Even after that short time period, including tapering to 1/8th of a tablet, withdrawals were hell.
I cant’t stand opioids, they are horrible. We need a new medication.
My friend from high school got busted for growing poppies and offering them to people “to make tea”. DEA busted him, seized his farm and bank accounts, and he had a heart attack and died shortly after. Multi-part local newspaper story here.
