Vince, anything that raises awareness of the current opiate drug abuse epidemic is a good thing. I do not for a minute doubt that with considerable effort compared to buying a cheap readily available black market pill, experimenters can obtain dangerous and unpredictable amounts of opiate from some poppy seeds. Where is the face of this alleged problem?
I was aware of two persons in the mid to late 90's who bought dried opiate stems from wholesale flower marts to make pod tea. One was a chronic pain sufferer. Both had a long history of drug experimentation and were of the hippie generation. Poorly educated, the marginalized and those living rurally are at the highest risk for opiate abuse. The current epidemic cuts across a wide swath. Ryan makes his viewers aware that the old stereotype no longer applies. IMO the seed video isn't one of his better presentations.
A fair number of members seeking hormonal normalcy have mentioned prescribed drugs in their present or past. It is tragic to see lives destroyed by opioids, more so when those lives are teens as I myself have seen this past year with a neighbors kid.
