I was thinking about this the other day, we all know of the news stories of all the violence related to the drug trade, the constant cat and mouse game between suppliers and law enforcement, especially at the US borders, so it got me wondering, why no one has thought to just grow the poppies in the US, so there is no need for long distance headaches? Surely the right conditions can be replicated to create the best environment for the plants to grow...right? From what Ive heard, the poppy plants that produce the opiate alkaline grows without much fussing...but Im not sure what the yield would be from each plant, or how long it takes for plants scoring stage,etc.
To make any money you would need a large field of poppies. Part of the reason its done across boarders is eastern farmers will grow entire farms of poppies and sell the opium for pennys. The gangs protect this and the manufacturing of it. I think it would be too much work to home grow heroin for the profit, especially with the challenge in finding the chemicals to synth it.
That sucks! In your opinion, how many plants would be needed to support roughly a gram a day personal habit? Im also wondering what the experience would be if someone just smoked or shot the substance that comes directly from the plant? Wouldnt this be pure opium? It may not actually be Heroin, but if it provides a similar good feeling, might be worth trying....right?
It would be opium. I would not shoot it because it contains codeine which you cant shoot as well as other plant impurities. It would take fields to support your habit. A lot of people buy dried pods online and make tea from them
