The idea was to use wild poppies that were found growing in large numbers on the battlefields in Northern France and Belgium as a symbol of the blood that had been shed by so many, as well as a hopeful sign for the future in the form of a flower. It must have seemed appropriate at the time, and I don't think anyone had the slightest idea that these wild flowers could be in any way connected to the misuse of drugs.
