Not even you can buy poppies in California; anyone living in California can seed them, water them, and grow them in their houses as well!

You can have as many poppies as you wish except one, not the one that produces opium, scientifically known as papaver somniferum; the ones you can have in bunches belong to a different poppy family (morphine free) such as: papaver commutatum, papaver eschscholtizia (better known as California poppy), papaver nudicaule, papaver orientale and papaver rhoes. Do these flowers produce opium? The answer is YES, but their opium quantity is so low (less than the 1% permitted) that is legally permitted to grow them by a United States Government office.

The California poppy is used in floral arrangements for the annual contest, the poppy seeds are sold for birds’ food; its dried oil is used by artists, it is excellent for diet purposes because poppy seeds contain 40 to 50% of fatty oil. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (iodine index is 133 to 144): 60% linoleic acid, 30% oleic acid, 3% linolenic acid (triply unsaturated; essential for human nutrition) and less than 10% saturated fats. With this information in your hands, it sounds inviting to buy poppy in California, does it not?
