For those in the Vancouver area that are interested, the Vacouver Museum has an exhibit on until March 2004 entitled "Opium: The Heavenly Demon". Co-curated by Barbara Hodgson (author of Opium: A Portrait of the Heavenly Demon), the exhibit "traces opium from ancient cultures to the shores of North America, revealing on the way, both the miraculous and devastating effects of opium and its derivatives". For more information, visit the Vancouver Museum web site.
Poppies.org operates under a "harm-reduction" philosophy, providing a nonjudgmental community-based atmosphere for frank and open discussions on such topics as Opium Poppies and Poppy Cultivation, Dried Poppy Pods and Poppy Seeds, Chronic Pain, Use and Abuse, Legal Issues, Addiction, Recovery and Drug Policy Reform.
Make sure to check out the Opium Poppy FAQ, and feel free browse around and read through the Poppy archives, or head on over to the community forums and hang out for a while. Cheers!
