Fields of Poppies

I've referenced my ex's (Mr. LO) semi-conscious state.  While I was on my search of evidence to use in my divorce I discovered exactly what made Mr. LO so screwed up for days.  He was concocting a special "tea" made from dried poppy plants.  Yes, that would be the same poppy plants used to make Heroin.
 
Where does one find the means to do this in Suburbia you ask?  Why, eBay of course...
The shithead was buying multiple pounds of dried poppy plant pods and having them delivered to our house via UPS.
 
He would then use his "partial" Bio Chem degree to extract the opiates from the plants, use a French press and presto… POPPY TEA.
 
This tea would make him go into what is called a "Heroin Haze" for most of a weekend with just one serving (about 4 cups is what he seemed to drink).  This tea had a few nasty side effects.  It would make him terribly constipated.  I found this out by accident.

 I kept discovering empty laxative packages in the trash.  I was thinking WTF -- we aren't in our 70's.  Then I got a laugh when I researched the tea on the web. He had always "been full of shit" 

The other side effect was the constant drooling.  He would drool long strings of spit, not that he ever noticed since he wasn't completely conscious.
 
So, during my search I turned up approximately 50 pounds of poppy seeds. I called the cops when he was on one of his benders.  They wouldn't do anything -- the manner in which he had the plants and seeds was completely LEGAL. Yes, LEGAL.
 
Well, the ex got a little pissed that the cops had visited so he grabbed all of his seeds and spread the 50 pounds all over our yard -- and our neighbors as well.  Next year is going to be so beautiful. Too bad I don't live there anymore.
