Michael Pollan Quote
Curiously, growing Papaver somniferum in America is legal—unless, that is, it is done in the knowledge that you are growing a drug, when, rather magically, the exact same physical act becomes the felony of manufacturing a controlled substance. Evidently the Old Testament and the criminal code both make a connection between forbidden plants and knowledge.
