Specifically the o***m poppy (Papaver somniferum) is an ancient flowering plant widely cultivated both for its edible seeds (commonly found on bagels) and for the milky latex in its unripe seed pods. This milky latex is the exclusive natural source of powerful op**te narcotics, including morphine, codeine. It contains alkaloids that act on the central nervous system to block pain. If mature seeds are exposed to the milky latex then consumption of them could result in a false positive for drug screening. The unripe seed pods are intentionally harvested at this stage for the milky latex which dries into raw o***m.
