Opium Poppy Seeds: Legal Risks in Georgia—Consult a Lawyer

The seedpod is Papaver somniferum (opium poppy). Georgia law: possession legal only if you *don't know* it can make opium. Knowing makes it a crime. 4+ grams = trafficking charge (25-year minimum, $500k fine). Highway median poppies are corn poppies (P. rhoeas). Check with a lawyer before planting.
