you grind the seeds and dissolve them with acetone
the us government kows this
but chemical companies like dow, dupont ,union carbide and all the drug companies have huge pacs and lots of lobbyists
so the government cant find out why small farms in costa rico Panama Mexico or even the usa need truckloads of acetone.
it is more beneficial to individual congressmen and senators to take pac $$ than to stop drug traffic

Is the Opium Poppy endangered?
Papaver somniferum is hardly endangered! The world's pharmaceutical industry depends on the raw opium from this plant for manufacturing the plethora of narcotic drugs widely available throughout the world. And I suppose a quick survey of Afghanistan will show you that the plant is thriving in this and other parts of the world that harvest opium for illicit conversion into heroin. So the short answer is No, "Opium Poppy" (Papaver Somniferum) is not endangered what-so-ever in the least.
