Prescription to grow Papaver Somniferum?

[Interzone]

I was curious as to anyone knowing anything about the possible legality of growing Papaver Somniferum for pain relief much in the same manner as Maijuana can be grown if one possesses a prescription from a Medical Doctor.


I have chronic pain that requires me to take up to 2,300 mg of Morphine a month. But if one wishes to go a more natural method, would it be logical to launch a campain to legalize the cultivation of these useful botanicals for personal medicinal use?
