Papaver somniferum is basically a winter crop in the Southern hemisphere,
preferring cool nights and warm days and will stand slight frosts. It is
possible to germinate seeds in summer using plant tissue culture processes
and Murashige & Skoog basic medium- stick the cultures in the fridge until
they germinate. I have no successful experiences with planting these on-
possibly due to the short lifecycle of the poppy, but this could be a useful
starting point for experiments where the object is to cultivate poppies year
round. I have tried to stratify the seed in my refrigerator with a view to
inducing germination for early plantings- this has not been successful, but
has not seemed to compromise the fertility of the stratified seed in any way.
All poppies like sandy soils ( or at least well drained ones ) with a little
bit of shelter and not too much shade. Prepare beds in advance by digging
fertilisers and any claybreak leaving about six weeks between each dig.
Cover the beds with mulch and let them sit for a month or so. You CAN fully
mulch the beds, and sow into rows where the mulch has been completely
removed to about 7cm away from both sides of the seed row. DO NOT MULCH OVER
SEEDS OR MULCH TO THE STEMS OF ADULT PLANTS- this makes them susceptible to
fungal infestations of the browning-off type!
Plant on or around Mayday ( in the Southern hemisphere ) by raking into
prepared beds.
Broadcast seeds or sow thickly in rows. Young poppy plants resemble lettuce
seedlings. Stronger plants will become apparent at about 7cm high. Wait
until about 10cm high and thin as follows:
Poppies DO like a bit of companionship, so thin around a clump of 2-3 strong
plants. Two
thinnings about four weeks apart will ensure that plants have enough
'companionship ' ( ie shelter, shade and whatever allopathic conditions
favor clumps as opposed to individual plants. I tend to thin seedlings
progressively, over a month or so, leaving only enough room for strong
plants to grow into, without leaving vast spaces between plants. Poppies do
not like to be moved and it is better to sow directly into beds than to
transplant, which can result in stunted growth and a later, shorter
flowering season.
Interplanting with ranunculus and/or anemone, which flower at the same time
and have a similar leaf and flower formation, may reduce flower visibility:
this is important in areas where cultivation of opium poppies is illegal.
... keep reading on reddit ➡As a person well-acquainted with pharmaceutical opioids and street heroin i’ve searched extensively for alternatives with fewer side effects while still providing some euphoric benefits. Kratom, Tianeptine and Akuamma are some that come to mind. Kratom and Tianeptine are both useful for depression and pain, providing codeine levels of relief. Akuamma is milder than these, providing minor anxiety relief and mild pain relief.
One of my more novel findings is that of poppy plants i find in front yards and out in nature. Usually i look for papaver bracteatum (red flower w black spot) but ive seen many different species just growing out in the open.
While it is highly unlikely that these plants contain significant levels of Morphine or Codeine...Thebaine and Oripavine are likely constituents. Neither of these two chemicals have much of a reputation as being psychoactive but they definitely are...tho milder than their morphine-relatives.
Oripavine has been noted to provide analgesia (pain relief) and thebaine is metabolized into oripavine (perhaps others as well). This provides a slow build that usually peaks at an hour after oral consumption.
After finding atleast a dozen different “bracteatum” plants, and having tried chewing pods and roots from them i can attest that while i don’t feel inebriated from them, there is a warm-grounded feeling i can reliably get from these poppies.
Through experimenting with dosage and grinding the dried pods into easily swallowed powder ive found that small doses of 250mg-500mg of dried powdered poppy pod to give me a recognizable opiate feeling. Increasing this dose to 1.5-2g of material over several hours results in a mild hangover of not being able to sit comfortably. One i know too well from heroin withdrawal. This feeling was much more manageable though and wasnt even near cold sweats.
Tl;dr
Drugs might be growing in your neighbors front yard. Look around May-Jun when the poppy flowers bloom.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
I heard parents named their children lance a lot.
First post please don't kill me
Edit: i went to sleep and now my inbox is dead, thank you kind strangers for the awards!
