Buy poppy seeds for growing purposes
In January 2003, I stepped off a plane at the end of the world; at least that seemed to me, 17,830 miles from my old apartment in Montreal, Canada. This was no vacation; it was the start of a new life in an island called Nihau, a remote island that make up the South Pacific state of Hawaii.
I was living a cul-de-sac situation: Aged 35, highly educated, and well-paid as a magazine editor, I had become disgusted with city life – 12 million rude and joyless people, pushing and shoving; the random violence and hideous crime; the homeless beggars, some disgusting smells, annoying sounds and foul weather. All those stores filled with things nobody really needed, all that concrete, and hardly any sky. Besides, I was still unmarried and getting old rapidly. I just knew that here in the tropics time would stand still, and I would find the true meaning of life.
During the vacation, I also had found out how cheap it is to live in paradise surrounded by millions of palms, millions of flowers, brilliant blue lagoons, and year-round warm weather kept mild enough by gentle trade winds. I had fallen deeply in love with a local man, the son of a white farmer. It was wonderful to be in love again! We had time for everything. The frantic world had bypassed the little island of Nihau.
Just before leaving Montreal I went to buy poppy seeds for growing purposes, I had seen a garden with lots of poppies in a magazine cover, how beautiful they looked! I wanted my own garden with all kinds of these beautiful flowers. Women like gardens and I am a woman. So I made some research about the poppy flower and I learned that the only illegal flower in the poppy family was the flower known as papaver somniferum because of his very high alkaloid content; the rest of the flowers were legal to grow. Besides, if I had some health problems such as: arthritis, diarrhea, colic, insomnia, neuralgia, and some other diseases: some kinds of cancer to name just one of the most important, that is why I wanted to buy poppy seeds for growing purposes before leaving Canada, I wanted a beautiful pharmacy at my own garden! This way I could kill two birds with one stone; I was smart, was I not?
If someone wants to buy poppy seeds for growing purposes, you do not have any reasons to be afraid, no policeman is going to arrest you, unless you have one flower here and other there of those beautiful red and dangerous papaver somniferum flowers within your garden. Just enjoy the beauty and medicinal properties of these flowers!
