The poppy is an ancient medicinal plant that has been used for millennia, but it also suffers from a black legend due to the use that some humans have given it as a recreational drug.
There are many types of poppies and not all serve the same purpose or have the same potency. They usually grow in fields and on the edges of roads or forests.

It is a very useful plant for gardeners as it attracts a large number of insects, both pollinators and pest predators, which is why it is usually planted on the edges of orchards. They are also beautiful plants with which wonderful bouquets can be made.

The varieties that have medicinal properties are mainly narcotic and their use without medical supervision is not recommended. It can cause addictions if not used correctly, so it is better to use medical derivatives and with due supervision.
