The opium poppy is one of the oldest known plants to be cultivated by humans. The ancient Sumarians called it the "joy plant" for its psychoactive effects. Here I show you my little opium poppies. In the next video I will show you them transplanted into my garden.
Normalise natural medicines. Very well spoken my friend, much love from Australia
Thank you
Amen
First of all I do not condone any use of psychoactive substances. So anyways today I'm gonna show you how to grow and cultivate your own backyard psychoactive substances.
Growing plants shouldn’t be illegal!
@@24DaniS24agreed 💯
Maybe theyll rx them instead but they wont so pain patients must grow their own. Besides its a plant, stop crying and dont grow it if youre so scared of some crackheads in the whitehouse.
It's ok for big farmer but not us WTF
I’m just here because I wanted to see some fucking flowers grow, I don’t even care about opium.
The opium poppy is Gods gift to mankind. Queen Victoria used a combination of poppy heads soaked in alcoholic spirits daily and she lived a long, a very long life!
@King Croc wiping her ass 😂... I just saw the Victoria and Abdul movie recently
@King Croc the wealthy live longer. I think because they stay mentally active but no physical labor and a LOT Less stress.
@King Croc I am not referring to aging individualpeople but populations that live the longest. Have you heard of a country called Monaco? Monaco is inhabited with billionaires and multi-multi-millions from all over the world. Google and learn. They country has the highest disposable income in the WORLD and the highest life expectancy. They average age for a.woman is 93.3 and men is 85.4. No other country comes even close. The popukation of Monaco is from all over the world, so e càn exclude good DNA. The poorest countries in the world live on average to the mid-50s. Still think there's no correlation and I'm making stuff up? I'm guessing you are a younger person... Now you know. Money, health and life span are connected. Again, this isn't looking at person by person as that wouldn't be a large enough sample to draw a conclusion. Instead it is looking at larger populations. Guessing you are young. The correlation between wealth and longevity is a fact.

I ended up transplanting these into the garden. Three survived. I harvested the seeds, about 1000 seeds, and I plan to continue growing the next generations from those seeds.
You never explained the type of soil or your climate. This would be very helpful
@@ysosirius2886 they will grow in soil that you would think nothing would normally from just remember They are weeds
@@ysosirius2886 he did explain briefly about the soil conditions, briefly. You gotta pay attention “Joker”, you pure the Joker, huh?
f your neighbors are growning non Opium poppy your seeds you collect could germinate into non opium plants.
Did you sample the wares?
I grew some poppies of my own in 1980. And after I harvested them, they worked their magic. Then, the upstairs neighbor got wind of it and did some harvesting of his own.
"I do not condone the use of psychoactive substances" while looking straight at the camera with needle pupils lmao
Hahaha, possibly... He doesn't look too pinned out
😂
😂😂😂
I mean it could have something to do with the sunlight you normally find outdoors….. 😅😂😂 Think a little. . .
It makes your pupils bigger not smaller
You’re an awesome dude. Love the video ❤
Thanks for the info... your a pretty smart gent.. good job..
"Not that I'm going to do that" ...dude! You sound like you been smoking the shit all day...🤣
"...NECESSARILY"
Lol my thoughts exactly
Dr. Stikitinski, you took the words right outta my mouth!😂😂😂
😂😂
Necessarily
Because you abuse drugs and have no money. You think everyone else is like you
Poppy seeds like temps, 50- 65 degrees for germination and can be very slow if it is hot. All varieties of papaver somniferum seeds germinate at different times. With some varieties you may see seedlings in as little as 3 days. Others can take up to a month.
They don't have that low of a germination rate, they just don't all germinate at the same time.
Sow on the surface of the soil, or barely cover seeds. Thin to a minimum of 15cm (6″) apart. Poppies are easy to grow and the self-sow with abandon, without becoming weedy. Simply pull up unwanted plants (an easy task) before they bloom, or better yet, let them tell you where they want to grow.
Sick video bro! Love the explanation for everything, you are him!
I've just watched the video really enjoyed it can't wait to watch part 2 😂just subscribed peace and love from Glasgow Scotland my friend
Great video!
Awesome video. Love the channel keep it up!
Dude. I like this vid...subscribed to your channel to see the proposed other grows of psychedelic plants. You ever gonna do those?
Some more tips...
scatter a lot of seeds in small areas. they start very fast and lean on each other and crawl along the ground at first and can be damaged by watering! Cover them for the first 3 weeks with a transparent plastic to preserve moisture and dont water from above until they are producing leaves. start them outdoors very early covered in patches or large containers. they are very weird plants! Easily shocked and stressed so once started don't try and replant or move them around. once they flower the petals drop in 3-5 days and once that occurs you have a short window of less than 3 days to score the bulbs with razor or sharp electronics tweezers and not too deeply youll see the milky light brown latex immediately once scored and let dry on bulb before gently scraping off. you don't get much per bulb so if you have any intention of commercial level production you will fail unless you have acres of them and its a full time job!
It’s a complete waste scoring the pods. The way to do it is to make tea, a ton more bang for your buck.
@@jts12fan as it turned out you were right. I had like 20-30 plants and barely got enough to put a couple of genuine painkilling experiences together but didn't think i had enough of the bulbs to make tea (like two cups of bulbs...) though next time i do this i will since the plants are just SO weird to grow and harvest. I lost the entire first crop to something really minor just a change in moisture and light. They do not like being planted in rows or as single plants, they are like a woven vine crawler which belies the look of the final flower which looks like straight up and down but it's anything but. I just know of no other plant that does what they do in terms of erratic fussiness with environment. It was definitely an experience to try though and i think i at least can say i "know" this thing but we never got past the final handshake i suppose :-)
They sell the seeds at the grocery store that's how I got mine. Industrial strength acetone in a solvent based extraction will make that ⚫the real deal, But I wouldn't advise it unless you want to die or end up a forever changed man, or in the penitentiary, or that's what I've been told I wouldn't know I'm a law abiding citizen and a patriot
Thanks man! How did they turn out?
I started growing them too!!
Love this dudes style. Not a highfalutin bit of pretention in him.
Pretty sure tney will all die if u transplant them now.Leave them alone
Not always, but they don’t like it and often do!
Amen
They don't transplant well. I direct sow in raised beds filled with a mixture of topsoil, compost, and perlite. I just sprinkle a light dusting of compost on them. Not too much or they rot quickly.
Watching this on my 95" TV is making me dizzy AF 😂 from the shaky camera. Not complaining, not at all. Just never had this happen and wanted to share my experience 😁
I want to plant some of these near a meadow I live by. Just plant like 10,000 of them.
Helpful and insightful thank you!
I wanna do this so bad and make tea!
I'm pretty sure this guy was high of making this video. Probably on opium laugh out loud😂
I've been growing these things since the 1st of this month. today is the 20th and nothing yet. Temperature has been really cold and freezing when I first got started but now it's getting warm. I water them but someone said maybe I'm water too much but that's not the case. I just make sure they get just the right amount of water to not drown and drain it on the side of my plant pot. I heard they are better to grow in the winter so I'm expecting to see some growth hopefully soon once the weather gets water warmer. I'm growing in doors which seems tougher to do because I notice people who grow them outside just say throw them in soil and let them be but say nothing about watering them..
Just get one of those Jiffypot Greenhouses from Walmart or Lowes and use that. They're about $10 and you get 72 little pots. Put about 5-10 seeds in each pot. Put in a place that gets decent sunlight. They should germinate in less than a week. Once they get their second set of leaves carefully thin them down to maybe 2 plants per pot and then transfer them to where ever they are going to live outside. This is the most effective way I've found to do it and I've tried several different things over the years.
You may need better seeds. My seeds germinate fine...Zone 6.
@@mpeezy358 Have you tried indoor?
@@darkallyrecordings4931 Sort of, I grew them hydroponically one year with some success although they were all pretty small but I did grow them all to flower. People say it can't be done but I don't think it's true, it can be done although I think you may have better luck growing outside. The main thing about growing indoors I would say is having plenty of light, like maybe get 4 4ft t5 bulbs, and maybe get up to 6, 3-5gal fabric pots and end up with no more than 2 plants in each of them, if you have the space.
Your seeds are gone! It happened to me this year, seeds were too old, so I bought a new bag
Wonder how long it took the DEA to show up ?
Awesome... And thank you..
It's vital to maintain seed population and varieties etc. This flower also is where bread seed comes from which is used on bagels and breads.
This flower is healing and God gave us these things for healing and food. Your plants are beautiful!

Very well said ❤❤🙏👍
Some would say it's the devil?
Legend has it there are now popalova plants growing all over the land in every corner of the earth.
Hello again buddy hope you are well. Just a quick question for you do u know how much the opium poppy pods will grow after the petals drop and do they keep growing till the very end if watered etc thanks again Eric
Hi eric. I'm not exactly sure, I'm no expert, but I know the poppies will keep growing for about a month after the petals drop. Just keep watering them as normal for a while and you will see the pods will keep growing bigger. You can also give them some plant food if you want at this stage, at your local hardware store you can get some organic flowering food, but just use a very small amount occasionally. Opium poppies don't need much food, and if you overfeed them they will suffer. There's this really good youtube channel called "little poppy mama", which is dedicated mainly to growing opium poppies. I recommend you check that out.
@@domdimensions9219 will do thank you
@@ericluscombe3272 they are very Hardie plant they will grow in the worst soils go and watch a couple of videos on Afghanistan I had them growing in my crushed rock drive way and remember not to fuss over them they are weeds
@@ibiufos cool thank you
@@ibiufos there is no real classification for any plant to be a weed ( a weed is classified as any plant that you don't want in your garden)so no, these are not weeds unless you don't want them in your garden.
They look very thick,
And can you tell me when you made this video, how old these plants were, because mine are same size, this is 1st time I sowed in 1st wk of April,
When I will hv the flowers?
Please respond
You should watch the colour of the seed pod. You want the flower to have fallen between 5-10 days ago. And you want the pod to still be on the green side. Where I am its usually late October by the time its ready to be bled.
Will that be able to mature in your area? Don't know alot about them but alot of the places I've seen them grow are hot and dry. When I grow marijuana I use 5 gallon buckets maybe that would work better for you then the small container your currently using. As for the any soil stance you have on this plant I would encourage you to give it the best environment it can have and im sure you'll be happy with the results. Awesome video dude.
There is a scientific article on Google which says the alcaloids are stronger if you can keep the plant quite small. So I think his pots are ok but obviously it depends what the grower's aims are. Gardeners prefer tall poppies.. :)
@@derekfrost8991 nice, I didn't really know much about growing these. Super cool hes having a go at it. The only place I've really seen video of these is on vice when they are exploring giant fields in Afghanistan lol.
@@redpillproductionscanada5563 there's a great book too, opium for the Masses by Jim Hogshire. It's free online & all you need to know about poppies & opium.. :)
@@derekfrost8991 Thanks Derek, I'll have to check that out sounds pretty interesting. For such an amazing plant it gets alot of hate but I think people could benefit greatly from knowing how to grow this plant especially if you had some sort of chronic disease but couldn't afford to pay astronomical prices for some pretty unnatural substitutes.
@@redpillproductionscanada5563 what I really like is this plant is so powerful that you can do it all wrong & still get some effect. I just sprout bread seeds in a jam jar on kitchen towel & make a herbal tea twice a week. It's mild but still nice & soothing.. :)
First things first, RESPECT this plant and be honest with yourself and they will be very useful (for bagels of course!)
To simplify this video…
a now deceased family member used to just Go to an organic grocery store and buy a few ounces of seeds from the bulk section (2-3$) or grab some bulk or bottled organic frontier or McCormick seeds. he said they are almost always tazzies or Hungarian “bread seed” always germinated ., he said never order online for obvious reason and sprinkle them in well draining soil. DO NOT TELL ANYOBE. Or try to explain. It’s just you enjoying your gardening.. They are beautiful plants!
Watch them grow and enjoy the slow motion fireworks 😉 .
Your welcome
Cant keep mine from dying after they grow an inch or so
Looks like the PNW to me.
Did he say he bought those seeds on Amazon? I want some.
Are these a perennial or annual? Also can you give us a link or the scientific name of the specific poppy you grow?
They are annual, but the thing is that if you leave them they will deposit their own seeds and grow back, but if you collect the seeds when they are done growing and plant them yourself, you will get much better results. The scientific name is in the title. Papaver somniferum. There is different strains, but they are all the same species.
Read Opium for the masses
@@domdimensions9219is there any specific nutrients or fertilizers the poppy likes, and while it’s growing do u start out heavy in certain nutrients and then in bloom switch to other nutrients
@@jamie4peace There are many poppy fields inside the USA it is quietly being cultivated for the end product.....opium.
I understand that they won’t transfer well!!! Please advise on the transplant. Plus they don’t like competition in my experience; watching others of course
They produce a tap root and do better if it is really long and deep, so no they don’t do great transplanting. The thing about needing to be thinned out just depends on if they get enough nutrients and sun. With plenty of both they can be grown quite thick and close together!
Just so you know poppys are extremely hard to transplant because of the long tap root most die when transppanted. You gotta just sow the seed where you want the garden. I bet those plants died when you transplanted them.
Ya not a harmless plant. Doing it this backyard way maybe but give many access to this drug whenever they want and that's the recipe for disaster
What’s state or Province you in and what time of year did you start if you don’t mind?

Probably the best treatment for the most inhumane torture called akathisia.
U know he at least smoked it once
Just because you're a loser junkie doesn't mean we all are
I know if I grew this I would smoke it. So I know not even to tempt myself. Excellent video be careful bub
Dude was high af
Got any hacks for germinating the seeds? J just stratified my seeds 8 days ago - nothing yet
Can u make tea out of the fresh pods or dried pods
Yes but highly illegal 10 years minimum possesing cut poppy pods in most places.
@@thelispinglizard5458 thank you councilor… it’s illegal to JWalk too, it can get a person killed, also illegal to drive over the speed limit , it can lead to an accident and kill the driver and countless others. The point is most people brake laws countless times a day , and are not phased by it.
@@thelispinglizard5458 lol thanks for mentioning it's illegal, some people actually don't know it.
I'm breaking the law right now by smoking a big fat joint hi from Glasgow 😂
@@thelispinglizard5458lots of grandmothers looking at hard time just for old dried out flower arrangements
Actually what you said about them cutting it deep. They do NOT cut them very deep. You just barely score them. .
Yup, barely a millimeter IF THAT.
Not that I'm going to do that necessarily😆😆😆
Which papaver from amazon is good to buy?
Well the species is papaver somiferum. But buying them off amazon is a ripoff. But there is this youtuber (well ex youtuber. Her channel got taken down) called little poppy mama, and she has a website where she sells the seeds called starfishhoney.com on her website she has really good deals on the seeds and all sorts of different strains.
@@domdimensions9219 I miss her old videos, she's got one video up atm with a great method for making a tincture from black walnuts!
I bought store spice poppy seed to try growing those, it's way cheaper than any seed I bought. I just watched a video from a girl who successfully grew those out. I'm pretty sure they're they correct line. I might make a video showing winter sewing. ❤
Where u get the seeds?
In a previous video he mention getting the seeds from amazon. Papaver Somniferum Gigantium i believe he mentioned
The ones on eBay are fake. The look similar but are fake.
Don't ever buy them on Amazon or online lmao. They wouldn't be the real deal. I got morning glory/flying tiger/poppy seeds/mimosa hostillis root bark/coco leaves etc all from Reddit
@aaron can you please paste a link for reditt
don't birds eat the seeds????
No they wait like the rest of us..
Yes they will. Some mix the seeds in clay and make little balls/pellets to prevent birds from eating them. They just throw the pellets out in the garden and do a light hay mulch....kind of like grass.
Yes, they can, especially the sprouts!! Use dollar tree wire trash cans upside down to protect the babies. 🌸🥀🌸🧑🏻🌾🌱🤠👍💯
Poppies are incredibly difficult to transplant....i sow mine where I want them to grow. It's best to have a raised bed. I say this because my soil is compacted and full of rock so if I dig down and remove about 2 feet of hard dirt and replace it with loose sandy soil then they will grow...
Oh I know. I transpanted mine and only three plants survived. And I was actually very gentle with them.
@@domdimensions9219 I'm lucky I guess...u have a privacy fence and a lot of sunny spots but boy it's some hard work to dig down at least 2 feet to lay my beds... I cheat a little using the 8 by 8 by 16 inch concrete block and then top them with a 4 inch solid block... This gives me an additional foot of depth that I don't have to dig that far down with a shovel.. I don't have a garden tiller so doing this all by hand with a wheelbarrow and a lot of 5 gallon buckets that I got for free.....you are dead right about poppies having a tap root almost like a carrot...they sink that into the loose deep soil almost like a ship dropping anchor... .good thing too cause some of those plants can be 6 feet tall....
I've actually grown a few in a 5 gallon bucket but the bucket at 18 inches deep wasn't quite deep enough...they bloomed but didn't do as well as those I sowed direct in the deeper beds..
.
You must be very gentle, and do it at the right moment or the plant will very likely die.
I don't know how many weeks after germination, but the best moment in my opinion is when the vegetative phase kicks in... You can recognise it by looking at the leaves : once they start to be saw shaped, it's the the right moment.
I wouldn't wait too much after this moment, as like the author of the video said, the main root will grow towards the bottom, and there's an high chance of ruining it. I'm not an expert but I can tell you that this plant' weak point is the root system.
@@midclock I sow them where I plan for them to grow....
A user knows a user😁🤪
Naw you're just a junkie you probably don't have a house or land to grow them on
@@fiolds350 You seem like a very happy and successful person 😂
I've been growing these for years and it took me at least 3 years to figure out that regardless what people say like they're so easy to grow.... That's BS!!! They are VERY difficult to grow 💯
He on one😂😂😂
I have one question, please. Can opium poppy grow in europe.
Hi. Absolutely! Just need to get the seeds. But I believe if its in far northern europe the plants will be a lot smaller and flower earlier. Because the further north the summer is shorter.
Hell.Yes.YkyaJw.
Hello, can you tell me how long to wait after the flower "dies", to make cuts on the capsule?
You look like my lookalike 😂
You want to wait about 5 days after the flower petals fall off. When the crown on the top of the seed pod turns upward is another good measuring method. But generally, you don’t want to wait too long. If the seed pod has turned bluish in color, it’s generally too late.
@@jts12fan thanks mate, I waited a week after the petals fell off, in fact the capsule became a 25% bigger, but still not big as some pictures I've seen on internet. This is definitely not an easy plant to grow properly. I guess that one need at least 20 well grown capsules to harvest half gram of 'lattice'
@@midclock yeah I’m amazed at how much they grow after the petals fall off. It’s definitely not an easy plant to grow. Glad to hear you had success. Good luck in the future. 👍

@@thelongeared1well done friend
Todays legal marijuana has a better high, and is much stronger than this.
While i don't think a plant can be evil it has it's dangerous side. Apart from bekng anle to kill you you can also become physically dependent on it and the withdrawals from it are probably as close to hell as you can get whole above ground. It's doesn't looe it when you abise it
It actually doesn’t contain morphine, however it contains codeine and some other opiates. Morphine is an opioid, meaning it’s synthetic.
Wrong and wrong morphine isn’t synthetic
Yes -Morphine is refined directly from opium...@@TheIcoolable
About as sharp as a bag of marbles
I love internet experts like this. Opium latex, once it's fully oxidized / darkened and dried contains about 10% morphine by weight in the form of salts of meconic(sp?) and hydrochloric acids. About 1% codeine (methylmorphine) by weight. Obviously can vary a lot based on breed, soil health, weather and location etc.
Don't waste your time.
