I know this really belongs in IFIOTW, but I thought since it is drug related (and not to mention there are some tasty pics of everyones favorite flower) BLTCers might enjoy this:

3600 Opium poppies were found growing in an elderly couples garden. The husband is 84, the wife is 58.
Investigators also seized approximately two quarts of liquid opium and a half-ounce of processed opium.

Peace.

SWIM hypothetically has many opium poppies in his front yard "dripping with latex"

Hope the feds dont come pay me a visit

Good luck dealing with withdrawals in prison buddy.

Ah, bleeding beauties.

I think the elderly should be allowed to do all the drugs they want.

When I get older than I'd like to be, I know I for one am going to be getting fucked out of my head on the regular.

Actually most of the time old people are ignored when it comes to drug use. Our doctors dole out shit loads of kickass meds to them, and if they DO get caught doing illegal drugs, NOTHING happens. Most of the time anyway.


This time though, that old man either had a fuck of a habit, or had plans for all that shit. They didn't mention finding anything else on the scene, chemistry related, so he was either just a big opium smoker, or was making some money selling the opium to either opium dealers, or chemists.


Fuck I wish I knew an old man to get clean opium from. They claimed one pound of possible heroin there. Christ.


This is actually quite sad though, they should just leave that old man the fuck alone.

Those pictures are worse than the holocaust

They should really let the elderly slide with drugs.

I mean fuck they're going to die soon!

oh man i wish i had a place to grow some poppies. do any stores sell them in the us or should i order online?

how tall do most of them grow?

This just makes me sad.

The government will probably destroy all of that, and they have no idea why they're even doing it any more. I had some serious plans to try opium some time around the next year, but then I find out it's so fucking rare and unbelievably hard to get and this isn't helping at all (run on! *phew*).

It pains me to think that all of that opium is now gone. Just like that. Poof.

That has to be the most ignorant thing I've seen here in ages.

You, child, are an asshole.

And no, I am not a jew.

unfuckingbeleivabe... They are growing opium for there own personal use, and they fucking get busted. Not like they can make the claim they were 'supporting terrorist' or gangs of child rapists by purchasing street drugs. Not like they were going to go on some drugged out killing spree, so wtf?
The guy was robbing the cradle, though.

^ Use that link, it makes me skrilla.

Growing poppies is really fucking easy if you have the right climate.

And seriously, you will spend more on DIRT than you will on the seeds... so not much skrilla for me... but some cents none the less.

Also, I see pictures of busts all the time.

Somehow this one reeeaaaally hurt me.

I assume they have an average sized backyard if some cop mistook their house for another... sounds suburban!

It's sad because I dunno... they are old lol, and even if they weren't selling it, their plans just got FUCKED! and they are going to die in jail.

And when I was reading all I could think was "who the FUCK said anything about heroin!?" these old people were growing poppies, that produces opium quite easily so why would these people want to take something so strangely rare, and turn it into something that is so abundant with immense trouble... and yeah, I didn't hear anything about a heroin lab either, so I have no idea why they mentioned that drug.

I could just imagine how they felt... all that dedication and work :(

This x2.

i doubt i would have the right climate in wa state. perhaps a greenhouse.

Nah... washington state sounds about right.

When I said you need the right climate... you pretty much want anything between the weather in Ontario and the weatherin California... quite the difference right now, but I know you can grow poppies all over the states without a green house.

Stupid noob : A buddy of mine has some of those bulbs from opium plants, they have tonnes of little seeds in them and hes got probably 2 hundred bulbs i'd say about 1/2 the size of a golf ball. What if anything can be done with them to provide enjoyment? and how?

If they have already been picked you could make poppy tea, or if you had enough, do a large scale poppy straw extraction to obtain a crude opium like tar substance, clean that up further, then extract the morphine, and acetylate.


If they are live, fucking score those bitches and bleed em dry!

do a large scale poppy straw extraction

.....

It's not worth it unless you have a large amount.

those pictures made me drool... kind of sad, those old people are probably going to die in prison for this...

i drooled too.

This x2.
I 3rded.

i drooled too.

shut your god damned mouth for once then.

Like you said in the thread about opes, to each his own.
Thats why you always have good grammar and spelling and I do not.

Will those things grow in Canada during the summer?

IIRC, you can get the ones from the store to germinate. I think they are legal to grow too, but not if you are cutting them.

If you have any information or questions about the case, please contact Investigator Steve Hinkley at 209-572-9178.

Dude it was a joke.

Fucking cops, some chill ass old dude just wants to live out the rest of his days without pain and some nice old lady just wants to grow flowers.
