Would anyone be interested in a home opium growing kit? It would include:
Enough seeds to produce a couple grams of raw opium
Instructions for planting, and plant care
A variety of flower seeds (customized to your growing climate!) that you could plant the poppies with to make them less obvious and mask any suspicion that may arise from growing only poppies
Instructions for harvesting the opium.
Possibly a scoring tool for use in harvest (an x-acto knife works, but you have to be careful not to cut too deep)
Some notes:
The seeds are seeds that I have been working with for about 3 years. Each year, I save the best pods so that I can plant them the following season. They are the Persian White variety, which make some of the largest heads, as well as produce a high percentage of alkaloids.
It takes 3-4 months from planting to harvest, and that's assuming you don't kill your plants. I enjoy gardening of all kinds, so I like the process of raising the poppies, but if you're looking for a fast score, this isn't for you.
I don't know how to produce morphine or heroin, so I can't help you there. While the opium would certainly be suited for it, you'd have to figure that out on your own.
I would send the instructions digitally so that they wouldn't ship with the seeds. This would allow you to claim that you're just planting a flower garden since it will ship with other flower seeds.

I would be interested.
We live in a fairly urban setting but we do a bit of gardening with the space that we do have. I tried container growing poppies last spring but I think my seeds were bunk.
I know there is a lot of info around the web, but I would support a Silk Roader trying to share their experience.

Think I could manage a stealth grow indoors? =P
I wish I had space to do something like this.

You could certainly try... You can order the seeds directly from Amazon for about $5. Look for Afghan or Persian varieties. Try making a potting mix of 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 vermiculite. Start the seeds in an area that doesn't get direct sunlight, and move them to a sunny spot once the seedlings get to be about two inches high. You should be able to get everything you need (except the seeds, of course) from a quick trip to Home Depot for under $20. Poppies are pretty forgiving plants, so I'm sure you'll be able to get them to grow, but I'm not sure how big they'd get inside.
