Opium Poppy:

The opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) is the source of various opioid drugs, including morphine, codeine, and heroin. These drugs are derived from the milky latex produced by the opium poppy’s seed pods. Opioid drugs are potent pain relievers but are also highly addictive. The cultivation and processing of opium poppies are strictly regulated due to their potential for abuse.
