We went for a bike ride this morning. One of the fields we went
past was a lovely shade of lilac and full of Opium poppies, (presumably)
grown under license for British opiate production.
If the Daily Mail knew this kind of thing went on in rural Hampshire
they'd be up in arms, worried about the youth of today getting high
and ending civilisation was we know it. Apparently you don't get
much opium from the poppies so you'd need to inject an awful lot
to get any effect - hence the industrial scale of the production.
