Cultivation of poppy pods for ornamental purposes seems to be legal in France. Poppies (either papaver orientale and papaver somniferum) are common as flowers in gardens. There are legal cultures of opium poppy (papaver somniferum) in France and in a score of other countries, where they are cultivated and sold to the pharmaceutic industry to prepare drugs, especially morphine. Out of this schemes, it is rather doubtful that an individual would be permitted to cultivate poppies on any serious scale.

Dried oriental poppy seeds are opium?
no, the dried seeds of papaver orientale (oriental poppy) are not opium, opium is the dried sap from papaver somniferm (opium poppy), a related species. however, it is interesting at least to me that I have run across a person who used oriental poppy pods and opium poppy pods interchangeably for recreational drug use. I have also met a different person who sapped oriental poppies and smoked the sap when they ran out of their legally prescribed prescription opiates when he couldn't make it to the pharmacy (and yes, it was a legitimate prescription, none of that faking illness bull) which makes me think the seed pods of oriental poppies do have a similar drug value to opium poppies. more interesting is that even when shown the difference, the guy using it medicinally still believed that he was sapping opium poppy and the other person who used the pods recreationally did not know the difference until he stumbled upon it online one day. another interesting footnote is that oriental poppies are legal to consume in most places, including the united states.
Where did the name poppy come from?
If you walk out in a field of California poppies when the seed pods are ripe, you can actually hear the "pop" of the seed pods as they split - and the sudden split of the pod casts the seeds several feet in all directions. I assume other poppies do the same. Could this be the origin of the common name "poppy"?
Is it legal to buy poppy pods in the US?
There is nothing illegal about buying the seeds, growing the poppies yourself, or purchasing dried poppy pods directly from craft stores or sellers online. The point where it becomes illegal is when a person does something with the INTENT to utilize the opium. That means it's perfectly fine to have popaver somniferum growing in your garden, but the moment you score the heads to extract the opium it's illegal. You can own the dry pods but the moment you grind them up to make poppy "straw" it becomes illegal.Poppies (Papaver somniferum) are specifically scheduled under U.S. Law. The U.S. Controlled substances act, schedule ll lists "Opium poppy and poppy straw" as a psychoactive narcotic.There is some (actually much) confusion in the law, because opium-producing poppies are widely grown all around the US and Canada and the opium poppy seeds are present in cooking, breads, and deserts. The grey-blue poppy seeds sold in virtually every grocery store in the US contain low levels of opiates (not at psychoactive amounts when used in cooking). Poppy pods are widely used in dry flower arrangements in every state and available at all craft shops.Law enforcement in the US is somewhat inconsistent about these plants, there are continual attempts to try to stop them from being sold or grown and If poppies are grown as sources for opiates, there is no question that it violates the CSA. If poppies are purely grown for ornamental purposes, their legal position is somewhat less clear cut, since they are so widely grown and available. Any good lawyer would probably have pictures of Poppies growing in both the arresting officers garden and on the presiding judges backyard not to mention the sale of such plants in every garden center across the U.S.A.
