Almost all pain medications are derived from Poppy! That means whoever needs Morphine, Oxycontin, Lortab, Hydrocodone, Tylenol #3, Demurral and the list goes on...would in-turn increase the amount of money we spend on these medications. There is hardly another effective plant that can produce the so need milky white poison to numb your aches and pains. Where does the world think almost ALL pain killers come from, are they all that ignorant.
Stop Heroin production yes, but Poppy fields need to flourish in order the rest of us can enjoy a pain free like situation that may arise. Come and grow up America. It's not the Poppy that's the issue it's always the people. Government should never control something God created to be utilized. I think the legality comes when it is altered say: like Heroin and acid and other chemicals are introduced that should then make it illegal. Pot for instance...natural weed, who cares what you do with it...just control the abusers of these things.
You all are messed up in your thinking and I think you need to study more and know what these things are. Kill the abuser, not the plant...after all we do need them for our everyday use!
Love, Amedeo Bianchi
