Hi Butch,

 

Just wondering......Horizon Herbs sells opium poppy seeds here.

Is this different poppy than actual poppy that is used to make opium?

I have never heard of an Opium Essential Oil .. and I doubt that it

exists because it would have to be distilled .. and the Opium Poppy

(which is gummy fer'shur) would have to be placed in a hydro-steam

distillation unit. Odds of someone getting their hands on Opium Poppies

LEGALLY are very slim .. they're controlled BIG TIME .. even the harvest

is controlled. I have been around them for years and they don't even

allow folks in the fields .. though Chris and I have been in the fields.

 

Distilling Opium in any case would be like distilling Orange Blossoms ..

Neroli is very expensive because for every blossom distilled there is no

orange to sell. Same goes for Opium .. its a very costly product.

 

There are some so-called exotic companies selling what they call Essence

of Opium .. runs around $15 for 10 milliliters .. its used in massage

blends. Odds are that is what you have. It is NOT a natural product!
