You got a, a, a.... PATTY? Good for you sir. Very good for you. I got a pea, of course I did take the liberty of licking the latex off of some of my earlier maturing ones but I still would not have gotten a PATTY. I predict you will make this a tradition, I have already set in my next grow, one plant beneith each of my tomato plants (I've got 52 of them). Maybe if I am lucky I'll get a patty in October.

A patty, how cool is that?

There are many types of pipe but most of the ones you see, the ornamental ones require a lamp to warm the bowl. These sorts do not, they are like what I have. There is usally a mouthpiece. You place about a pea sized bit of your precious on the left or right side inside the bowl, a bit of distance away from the opening at the bottom. It will stick there. Then take your torch lighter and heat the outside of the bowl around where you put the pea. After it starts to smoke, back the flame off. When the underside of the pellet you stuck to the bowl grows crusty, let your flame gently lick over the top of the bowl. You used to be able to get the pieces of these pipes in import places like Pier One. Look around.
 
I think theres some poppies growin in a field near my home. Oh how i wish i could know for sure. I would LOOOVE you try opium at least once in this life time
 
I dont know if i should risk it. I live in bumfuck no where in the middle of kentucky. The scenario just never ends good in my head.
 
One of these days brother, one of these days. Theres no way im gonna find any opium around here unless i grow it myself. :]

Told you! "Oh, I am interested, Maybe I'll grow myself a dozen or so... just to see what it is like". And then you do it, and then you got this pea (or Patty, damn you) and you regret it for months.
 
So guys I just got a pair of pliers and went to ivestigate what these big poppies I saw in someones garden really were. Sadly my camera has run out of battery so I can`t post any pics. I went there at 2AM and cut 4 of these big pods off :D

I looked at pictures of P. Somniferum and the pod seems very round where these pods are a little more conical where they join on the stem. I got my scalpel out and made the shallow incisions on the pods and loads of this milky stuff is coming off the incisions and also where I broke them off (right below the pod, propably a mistake).

Also this stuff has started turning a brown colour, even quicker when I put my desklamp over them. Problem is I can`t score the other sides because I have sap coming out of one side.

These poppies have pretty large pods, quite a big crown, long white hairs on their stems and the brown ring around the stem where the pod starts.

Is this.... Opium? :D
