I respect your decision Charon and appreciate that you will allow a vote on it, I did realise that the legislation regarding poppy plant and seeds vary a lot internationally, with some countries having it enshrined in local culture, with others it being more of a legal grey area and yet others having strict controls on all parts of the plant and scheduling it the same as the products made from it.
Poppy tea is not the same as the products it makes but it should still be treated with care and respect for its strong abilities and also the legality issues as you point out.
I realise this is more board is more for pharmaceutical medicines, though many pharmaceuticals are ultimately are derived from plants and animals. Personally I find this fascinating, what cures nature has to offer. It would interest me greatly to be a research pharmacologist, finding the cure for cancer is a professional dream for me, especially since I have lost close family members to it. Life took a different turn though and I ended up in a differrant profession, though my interest in natural cures remains to this day. I know natural substances are not officially recognised as treatments and of course consultation with a doctor should always come first, but I strongly believe that there can be situations where natural remedies can prove more effective or be safer than pharmaceuticals. I will be honest, I have not searched a lot about natural remedies on these forums do don't know how much they are discussed. Sorry for going a bit off topic, but I was going to ask your permission to post a thread about natural remedies. Perhaps I should wait until I have 50 posts though so I can share in a more secure location.
Apologies for rocking the boat Charon, I can understand your thoughts about this place loosing the homely feel, even though I know I am new and have no position to comment on this- I may even be one of those who are reducing the homely feel. Bearing this in mind I think I will restrict my discussions about such matters until I have earned the right to post in the more confidential areas to share the information which may fall in legal grey areas.
Thanks for your speedy response and I appreciate the course of action you have taken,
