When Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz, opium was legal. It is made from the poppy plant. The poppy is a beautiful flower. The poppy field is a place of beauty where Dorothy gets sidetracked from her goal of The Emerald City. The opium produced by poppies lead to sleep and death. The poppy field represents a warning about the dangers of getting sidetracked by something that looks extremely enticing because it could have a hidden danger.

Specifically, eternal sleep or death is what poppies traditionally represent. It is unknown as to what Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) may have intended in the way of precise symbolism since he left no single verbal or written key to his works. But those who seek interpretations and symbolism find rich material in Baum's masterpiece, which as in the case of all great literature cooperates with meanings beyond that of the creator. For example, Henry Littlefield (June 12, 1933 - March 30, 2000) cast an anti-imperialistic symbolism to poppies.

Which character was not affected when Dorothy and her friends fell asleep in a poppy field?
Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and their three friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion found many obstacles on the way to the Emerald City of Oz. One such obstacle was a poppy field. The poppies made Toto, Dorothy, and the Cowardly Lion sleepy. But the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were unaffected. In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', author and series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] had the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman rescue Dorothy and Toto by carrying them out of the deadly field. But the Lion was too heavy. Fortunately, the Tin Woodman had saved the life of the beautiful, gracious Queen of the Field Mice. In return, the petite Queen rounded up her subjects to pull the Lion out of the field. In the beloved 1939 film version, the poppy field was put in the way of the five friends by the Wicked Witch of the West. But Glinda the Good managed to nip the evil endeavor in the bud. She sent a beautiful, light snow that awakened the friends before their sleep became eternal.
