are these the plants that you can get opium from?

most poppy seeds like the ones you get on your bagels are from the opium poppy its confrimed that if you eat poppy seeds before a drug test you can show up positive for Opiates, one of my dads friends at work almost lost his job because of it.

is it the same thing though?

if the variety is papaver somniferum it is an Opium variety. Anything else. like papaver orientalis or papaver californium, are worthless. Check the name in italics, usually under the name. Or try McCormick poppy seeds on the spice rack. It's Tasmanian papaver somniferum- i grew some last year. If you have a local florist, check for dried pods for floral arrangements. These are all Opium poppies, usually Dutch, and contain viable seeds. E-bay is full of sellers, I've tried a few with mixed results.

Yeah, my buddy grew tons of McCorrmick brand poppy seeds with good results last year.

Yes but if I remember correctly there is no process to do when you cut the pods and collect the opium.. you just have to dry it then smoke it. If I remember correctly..

before it opens and put out the seed's i believe you cut the pods the pods. Take something like a razor and make slice on the pod and it excrete a milky white substance collect all the white stuff you can and let it dry out
