Can you grow opium poppys in Indiana Legally?

Question

I believe you can but im not 100% sure. Any residents of indiana, or recent residents that know?

Answer 1

Looks like the answer is not but it sucks that you can not grow a beautiful flower in a free country! I would grow a few anyway if I had the oppertunity and some private country land. Just a little patch in a garden somewhere ( a secret garden). It is just a flower and who would even know what it is if they saw it! There are so many kinds of flowers!

Answer 2

The DEA wants all the bad guy's in jail. Can you imagine the man power it would take to pull up all your grandmothers opium poppies and the uproar it would cause with all those little blue haired ladies. Yes it's illegal and yes you can get some very potent strains of seed on eBay. The seed on your bagel or muffin are technically illegal as well but can you imagine the uproar from the DEA and police if they couldn't  have one during a stake out. Let's hope they have something better to do with our taxes. Here in the Dakotas you can still see them growing in abandoned church and graveyards. Right next to the hemp they grew during the war years.  RScott

Answer 3

i believe you know the answer to that but if you don't know the answer is no unless you don't mind going to jail

Answer 4

sO IS GROWING WEED DUDE!

Answer 5

Opium poppys are illegal in all 50 states. And it would be very difficult to get  any of the seeds if you still wanted to grow them.

Answer 6

it is illegal. some people grow a few plants for personal use and have no problem, as long as no one knows. if you are gonna have docens of plants, you better think about how to spend your time in jail.

Answer 7

No, they're illegal to grow.

It's a pity, too, because I think they're much nicer-looking than the ones it is legal to grow.

Answer 8

no... the seeds are illegal

Answer 9

The seeds aren't illegal but the plant is. In the United States, the drug law does not discriminate between the opium poppy and opium itself. Therefore, when you grow opium poppies, you are liable to be charged with a felony for possession of Level II narcotics (which includes morphine, cocaine, and methamphetamine). You can be charged with a felony for possession whether you have one poppy or one hundred growing in your garden.

Answer 10

That's right, the entire plant is prohibited anywhere in the US.

Answer 11

It has been illegal in the unite states since at least since I was 10 years old(52 now)..I remember my uncle having some unknowingly in a small town in Texas..the law knew him well and he didn't have a clue..they made him pull them..It has nothng to do with any newer laws, they have been here for years..also they do not carry the same penalty as possesion of heroin, meth, cocaine as mentioned..the charges are far more worse than simple possesion..this is a cultivation charge..which is worse

Answer 12

WHY DO  YOU NOT TAKE THEM TO A POLICE STATION AND ASK THEM, THEN YOU KNOW FOR SURE....SILLY QUESTION

Answer 13

No. It's a federal law and a felony.  There are other, legal poppy plants that are even more beautiful and safe.

Answer 14

No.  C'mon.  This plant has been illegal for a long time in the United States.

Answer 15

no, thanks for the 2 points

Answer 16

You obviously don't know how difficult it is to process the sap from opium poppies, if that's what you have in mind.  All poppies have some opium in them, it's just that the white ones have more.
