Dried oriental poppy seeds are opium?
no, the dried seeds of papaver orientale (oriental poppy) are not opium, opium is the dried sap from papaver somniferm (opium poppy), a related species. however, it is interesting at least to me that I have run across a person who used oriental poppy pods and opium poppy pods interchangeably for recreational drug use. I have also met a different person who sapped oriental poppies and smoked the sap when they ran out of their legally prescribed prescription opiates when he couldn't make it to the pharmacy (and yes, it was a legitimate prescription, none of that faking illness bull) which makes me think the seed pods of oriental poppies do have a similar drug value to opium poppies. more interesting is that even when shown the difference, the guy using it medicinally still believed that he was sapping opium poppy and the other person who used the pods recreationally did not know the difference until he stumbled upon it online one day. another interesting footnote is that oriental poppies are legal to consume in most places, including the united states.
