Poppies kill things?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (12 children)

Heroin, opium and morphine are derived from poppies. Too much of any narcotic and you die

Yeah but we need to process the shit out of it. Is anything really going to die from eating some raw poppy seeds?

[–] Dudewitbow 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

statistically no, but its possible to get a random group of poppyseeds that are extra potent. its why for example, South Korea bans it (as they dont even want the chance for them to get collected)

So how do we do poppy seed bagels?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The poppy seeds don't contain the opiate, the surrounding latex contains it (visual: pomegranate seeds, and the inedible flesh you free it from).

Some of that opiate might get on the seeds, but its mixed into such quantities with other poppy seeds that the potency level is diluted to virtually nothing.

And yet, can still fuck the unlucky in a drug test.

Wow. I guess I need to eat more bagels
