Please spare me the anti smoking comments!
i am not trying to make promotion for cigarettes

so it is hard to smoke opium without producing smoke nah?
;)
insprired by this song by Emilie Simon:
Je laisse aller, me laisse inhaler,
Les vapeurs en dégradé ...
Evaporée, comme la fumée, dans un nuage cendré.
Mon opium, pas de sérum, mon opium (opium)
Mon opium, pas de sérum, mon opium
Je laisse aller, me laisse inhaler,
Les vapeurs dans les pétales ...
Toute embuée, je pars en fumée, comme un bon petit cobaye.
Mon opium, pas de sérum, mon opium (opium opium)
Mon opium, pas de sérum, mon opium
Je laisse aller, me laisse inhaler, mon opium (x3)
Je laisse aller, je laisse aller ... je laisse aller (je laisse aller ... je laisse aller ...)
Je laisse aller, me laisse inhaler,
Les vapeurs en profondeur ...
Ensommeillée, je me laisse guider, j'avance en apesenteur.
Mon opium, pas de sérum, mon opium (opium, opium)
Mon opium, pas de sérum !
Je laisse aller, je laisse aller ... je laisse aller (je laisse aller ... je laisse aller ...)
I made several trips to Southeast Asia in the 1970s. The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia was a must-read book among travellers at the time. It deals with heroin trafficking in Southeast Asia and the CIA's complicity and aid to the Southeast Asian opium/heroin trade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Politics_of_Heroin_in_Southeast... That is how I became interested in the Golden Triangle, the world's biggest opium producer before Afghanistan took over in the 1980s when the CIA's secret war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan helped transform the tribal states of the Afghani-Pakistani border area into a launchpad for the global heroin trade. I used to follow trails into the hills not knowing where they would take me. I met this woman from the Lisu tribe working in a poppy field on the Myanmar side of the unmarked border having wandered over from Thailand. She uses a tool of four sickle-shaped knives that are firmly tied together to make 4 parallel cuts into the poppy capsule through which a milky sap escapes. The sap dries overnight and becomes brown sticky raw opium which is scraped off with a blade the next day. The hill tribes practice slash-and-burn agriculture. The method begins by cutting down the forest in an area. The downed vegetation, or "slash", is then left to dry and the biomass is burned, resulting in a nutrient-rich layer of ash that makes the soil fertile. After 3-5 years the field is abandoned and the forest destruction continues. It is an unsustainable method of agriculture that has wreaked havoc on forests the world over. I used the Covid lockdown to digitise my slide collection. The photo was taken in the Golden Triangle in Feb 1976 with a Minolta SR-T 101 body and Minolta MC Rokkor 50mm f/1.4 lens on Kodachrome 64 slide film. Digitised using a Nikon ES-1 Slide copying adapter screwed to the front of my macro lens and placed in front of a neutral light source (5000 Kelvin LED panel). I take a RAW photo which is then treated with Topaz DeNoise AI for sharpening and noise/grain reduction. Mouseover photo for more details.

Opium poppy macro
This is actually quite a small bloom on an opium poppy which popped up in the garden - it does look great in Large.
In old Japan, at windows grey,
Where scents of opium flow,
Strange smiling faces, white as clay,
Nod idly to and fro;
There life and death may come and go,
With blessing or with ban,
And still no better gift bestow
Than this, in old Japan.

Montana de Oro State Park, San Luis Obispo Co., CA
I am intrigued by this large, beautiful flower, not for any drug reasons. Friends sent me photos of this flower, having seen two plants in Montana de Oro State Park recently and wondering what it was. I knew, because in 1998 there was a mass of these plants in Montana de Oro State Park the year after a fire and following significant winter rainfall. Before it hit the local media I had taken a flower to a local nurseryman and asked what it was. He knew, I assume, because the beautiful flower had been a garden plant. Shortly after I found out what it was, authorities cut the mass of plants. The number of plants then could have been an intentional illegal garden, but the two plants this year I like to think of as years-later-offspring.
As well as being a source of illegal drugs, opium poppy is the source for poppy seeds and poppyseed oil.
Well, obviously it's not opium and I am not a narcos :-)
Please don't post your photos here nor GLITTERY IMAGES. They will be removed. Don't invite me to any group. I will not accept ;-)
Surprisingly, the Opium Poppy is found growing on wasteland throughout the UK. This example has the yellow/green 'pepper pot' seed dispersal and silver stamens. The leaves are deep red with darker blotches.
I found this on the verge at Worlebury Hill Road in Weston-Super-Mare.
Photographer's notes: This was photographed hand held. The poppy was swaying from side to side and a very fast shutter speed was needed to freeze the action. f3.5, 1/1600 of a second, ISO 200.
