lol... funny thing is I have never touched an illegal drug in my life . I have three brothers who have . One ,as far as I know is still on heroin , or whatever he can get hold of .
Another doesn't do drugs anymore ," just a bit of blow now and then " , his words not mine ? and the third is away on her Majesties secret service ..oh no , that should have been at her Majesties pleasure . I have no idea what he is up to , but he was on everything in there !!
There was a legitemate reason for collecting the poppy seeds , a reason that completely escapes me at the moment ( I hate getting old !!) . However , I have made sure I know how to make morphine just in case TSHTF in a very big way .
Same with willow , I wanted to know how to get the aspirin effect from it . Pain is one thing I don't do very well . So I want to know I can cope with any situation that may arise.
Another good healer is comfrey , it heals cuts and broken bones . I did even use it on a broken wrist years ago . It healed much faster than any break in a wrist I had had before . Yes I have broken my wrists a few times , broke both in a motorbike crash , broke both in the car crash , broke both in different fights and fell arse over tit on ice and broke one . I have broken one 3 times and the other 4 times ...but which way round I don't remember now .
So you see now why it pays me to know how to heal broken bits .... one doctor once said that looking through my x-rays, he couldn't find a bone that hadn't been broken !! I said that there must be one somewhere and that as soon as I find it I will no doubt break it.... I am not looking ...just in case !!!!!
cheers
