No thanks, I got shot at enough in my youth, and, as a recreational vehicle, it is vastly over-rated! |

The seeds of Papaver somniferum are commonly used in food in the United State; no need to go traipsing about Afghanistan.

Would the food seeds still germinate after the cooking process?

Some poppy seed sold as spices are the seeds of Papaver somniferum; they have been known to germinate quite nicely.
Before drug testing became more sophisticated, people who ate muffins with poppyseeds in them would test positive for opiates.

Metlakatla, don't be a wimp. If you really want to go for it, try nutmeg.

Yeah, Myth Busters did a bit on eating Poppy seed rolls to see if you would flunk a drug test... They had to eat about a couple of dozen rolls at one sitting, but they did pop the bubble and it showed traces of Opiates in their system....
