What does it mean to plant an opium poppy in your New England garden? If you are ignorant to it’s qualities as an analgesic drug, you may grow it to your hearts content. However, if you have even the faintest understanding of it’s mind altering potential, such an act can land you in jail with your assets seized by the cops.
