Poppy tea in the media

Not good.

What a fucking Thompson wannabe, seeing his plea at the bottom for
someone to please shutdown poppy pods on a popular auction site makes
me want to beat personal responsibility into him. Unless this whole
thing is some kind of satire so subtle the only one who can laugh at it
is the author.

Fucking idiot he's blaming everything on everyone else. He
doesn't have the sense to check himself into rehab or even get just one
family member or friend to help him stay off it.



P.S. the link only works when you take out the space at the end in "asp".

Dude...


He said it himself all he wants and has ever wanted to do is get high. If nutmeg was all he had had available then that article would have been the horror of supermarkets. It irritates me I think for the simple fact that SWIM doesn't really drink the tea more than once a month or so, and as someone who has crawled through intense H addictions for him to be able to stop by the opiate neighborhood again for brief hours every month or 2 withsome nice tea is such a good thing mentally. Knowing that people want to take away something that is such a minor societal problem seems so pointless. This is why tea drinkers are so hush-hush about what they do... They don't want word to get out and have everyone else spoil it for themselves. I think the countdown to the end of pod sales might have started.

Well look on the bright side, poppies are easy to grow and people
rarely say anything about them due to their popularity as an ornamental
plant.

It's just when they are brought to the forefront of popular knowledge there will be more articles, more pictures and more people being able to recognize them.


People won't care about their ornamental value if "The kids are at risk".Edited by: MrJim

I know the DEA has arrested at least one seller on a popular auction site.

What he is charged with I have no idea, he may have done something
really stupid like email undercover LE a tea recipe or advertised them
for consumption.



The only reason sales for ornamental use were allowed was lack of
public conciousness they could be used to get high, once parents catch
their spawn smiling on the couch with a cup of tea...just look at DXM,
voluntary restrictions and policy of harassment anyone? Once sellers
see that legal or not its not worth the risk the market is dead.

The writer looks to me like he is from some organization that wants to fight poppies. He writes so plain silly and in such a way which a real addict ould never write. IT looks like proaganda to me.


What we should do is not clicking the links to his stupid little story )to not cause traffic there and show them that people are interested in the story), not talking about it, if someone asks us because he knows were into drugs, then say, what he writes is wrong and do as if we arent interested.


The more attention it gets, the worse will the gov. react
