Posting Rules:

No SPAM. There's a forum for legitimate commercial offers, but they have to be on topic. Hock your warez and MLM schemes elsewhere. Violators will be banned, tracked down, and pursued for AUP violations at their provider.

You must be 18 or older to enter the forums. This web site is intended for mature audiences only, and as such minors are strictly prohibited.

Before you ask a question, make sure you have exhausted any other available resources. AND READ THE FAQ.

Stay away from flaming. You'll just end up getting your post deleted or your ip banned by one of the moderators. You'll also look like an idiot.

This is a public service, and its NOT a democracy. The moderators have full authority to delete messages and block ip's for any reason. If your post gets deleted, too bad.

Don't be a moron and incriminate yourself. Admissions of any illegal activity are prohibited. Any discussions unrelated to legal uses of the poppy must be phrased strictly in the hypothetical sense.

This forum is open to anyone who enjoys this wonderful plant. Be it for botanical interest, its aesthetic value or even its "other" uses. If that scares you, go away.

Read the disclaimer!

Discussions relating to the acquisition or trading of illicit drugs and prescription medications are strictly prohibited.

Don't forget: the Papaver Somniferum is a legal enigma. No matter why you are growing your poppies, they can still get you in trouble. So know before you grow!
