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.
selling opium
In short, yes. With poppy seeds you can grow the opium poppy plant but, that will not give you opium right away. Once the plant has grown you must extract the opium from the poppy in order to have raw opium. Note: you must have special seeds and I'll leave it at that. It should be noted that while many governments may allow the growing of any poppies when done in a way that's obviously only ornamental, that any attempt to actually harvest opium, even a tiny amount, from poppies is a felony in the United States and many other countries.
Farmers cannot sell the milk that they produce (at least not in Canada), they have to sell it to the milk company, where they then sell it to consumers.
The British insisted on farmers growing opium in India because of a trade deal with China. Tea became extremely popular in England, and by 1830, over 30 million pounds of tea was being imported from China. The rulers of China, the Manchus were unfriendly towards foreign merchants and their goods. Hence, there was nothing that England could offer to the Chinese in exchange for tea, except money. Doing so was a loss to the British treasury. Opium was used in Chinese medicine, but was banned for use due to its addictive qualities. The British started an illegal opium trade, and by 1839, there were an estimated 12 million opium smokers in China. All the supplied opium came from India and it formed an easy, cheap way to pay for the tea imported from China
