Poppies are an important export crop in Afghanistan. They're very colorful.
The Bushies are/were a very powerful family. Patriarch Prescott Bush finagled lucrative gummint deals benefiting his oil company.
Relative Vannevar Bush was an important figure in developing the atomic bomb.
He was the Director of the Office of Scientific Research & Development – which absorbed the former National Defense Research Committee.
The OSRC oversaw the Manhattan Project which created the "gadgets."
Vannevar was an eyewitness to the Trinity Test in Alamagordo, NM on July 16, 1945.
But that's another story.

Morphine is extracted from the dried latex taken from the seed capsules of the opium poppy.
A chemical process – acetylation – transforms crude morphine into diacetylmorphine, C21H23NO5.
Diacetylmorphine is heroin.
I have not seen any hard evidence linking GHWB to poppy-driven heroin profits, but as See Ahh Yay director he had plenty of opportunities to use the Company's endless spook wars & assets to benefit his family's enterprises.
I'm convinced that Poppy was a major force behind the JFK hit.
"Poppy" is a multiple entendre.
The collected article of Sherman Skolnick titled “The Overthrow of the American Republic” is very instructive when it comes to Bush41.
I have a PDF copy (no longer in print and well hidden on the webz) I will give to all that ask.
I will need an email address to send it to.
Send me a DM for a copy.
Thank you.
Great info on Poppy Bush. Thanks, Goldbux.
