      In Pollan’s latest book, and in the original Harper’s article, he references the book Opium for the Masses by Jim Hogshire. After listening to the book, I went to the google machine and found that the book is readily available on Amazon, and even on Kindle!

      You might want to check closely. As in, the poppies might not be illegal, but if there are any signs that you are, or intend to, harvest opium from them, then those sign become evidence of a felony. For example, having a copy of the book "opium for the masses" (Jim Hogshire)

      or, what you believe to be legal (because you can buy the seeds at the grocery store) may not be legal, depending.
