No. The California poppy (Eschscholzia californica)contains different alkaloids than the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Therefore, an extract of the California poppy would not exhibit the same effects as opium. Herbal shops sometimes sell California poppy resin as a mild sedative, but the effectiveness of this preperation is not proven.
