This is excellent work. Very well done, good interviews, and unflinching about the BS drug war.

I am an American that says let the poppies grow and be fruitiful.

I love those old-school documentaries, the atmosphere, the music, the calm and equable voice of the reader without high endings in the sentences is pure joy to watch and listen...almost brings you nostalgic feeling to the good old days 😌 Thank you!

It’s not impossible to produce drugs from dried poppies. All you need to do is grind the pods and steep them in a slightly acidic solution for several days. Then collect all the liquid and reduce the volume under a low heat with a fan blowing over the liquid to assist evaporation. When done add slaked lime to precipitate the calcium morpenate and then follow the rest of the process which I will not write here. Sadly the prohibition has just made the environment ripe for synthetics and now we have issues with over 2 dozen different fentanyl analogies which are way more toxic and dangerous. Almost all overdose deaths from opium, morphine and heroin are due to combination with alcohol, benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants but fe Tanya and it’s analogues will easily kill if the dose is marginally too high.

They should have included a scene that showed how beautiful the fields look when they are flowering.

If it were up to me, poppies would be growing everywhere.

Hats off to these hard working ladies

"We The People" need to dismantle and remove the ruling class and take back our country!

If it grows the governments shouldnt be able to tell anyone shit. Informing people of risk sure, jailing people that are trying to seek relief from whatever their pain is mental or physical shouldnt be a crime. Educating for responsbile use is all the givernment should worry about.

Awesome. The plant has an crucial part in world history, highly sought after and gives a better life to these farmers

it is beautiful to see something that is so demonized actually turned out to be something so good and healthy and beautiful even medicine.

they all look really healthy, once again when people are allowed their own home medicinal plants that are free of of the 'sorcery of the pharmaceutical industry' these medicinal plants are natural and beneficial. Funny how the US government puts turkey out of business then takes over the Afghanistan poppy fields and thus now has dominance in the world opium production. It seems their British Royal overlords have gained even more heroin dominance over the global population than they did during the Dutch East India companies days.

Facinating history of this this ancient plant. It is beautiful to watch grow and understand the sacred history. Thank you for excellent Journalism

This was very interesting , informative and well done . A different perspective. Thank you

in afghanistan after taliban the opium production gone up 10 fold or even more under USA supervision ,,and the trade is at its peak in history,,unbelievable,

Anything you want to grow/cultivate for your own personal use/consumption should be 100% legal. Its sad that in a "free country" you can not. If you had a field growing Hemlock the authorities would not care, if in most states you have a few flower pots with a marijuana plant, you're going to jail. If you have a flower garden with opium poppy and someone actually notices, and knows what it is, you're going to jail.

This was really educational,i love the poppy flower it is beautiful.. I love the way people are helping each other & working together.. Thankyou for educating us.. Have a blessed day & takecare,xx

Big pharma dictating what, when, why, where and how.

I really enjoyed your show, I loved your camera editing and timing.

If everyone was allowed to grow their own there would be no addiction issues.

Thanks to this harvest I am some what pain free.

Will always be here till the end of time...

How to use thm cause I have to take a lot of meds for severe back and neck pain along with bad miagrains will this help cause all the meds doctors give me make me sick. Plz respond.

I hate how America puts blame every where, but where it should. How about the blame going to the person whom uses drugs. They chose to use, they chose to abuse, they chose not to stop, they chose to overdose, and they chose to die from their choices. I'm not saying it's not sad, but they are in charge of their life. I for one am sick of hearing the opiod ads on tv, being treated like a criminal if I need pain meds, and seeing tax dollars used to combat pain meds.

Excellent documentary about an enlightened way forward. Mmmm I love poppy seed

Morphine saved my life. Bar none.

NIXON......The gift that keeps on giving.

USA need to mind their own business so sick of them in other countries biz

As a. American, my government is rotten for interfering in an nation growing Opium. I would love to grow Opium. The World needs Opium! God gave Opium to mankind to make lives better! God bless ALL nations that grow Opium!

very cool and needed docu, doing work others sweep under the carpet. Big thanks and respect :)

I recall my mother having some of these beautiful plants in front of our home when I was growing up and one day they simply disappeared-all of them!!! Someone stole them right from our porch.

That old man is really pissed at America... 😅😅

I have grown the poppy for many years in North America,they are potent!

Damn i live in Turkey and even i didn't know about this stuff

I want that castle the black fortress of opium sounds like my kind of place along with 70 virgins.

Nobody lances the poppys. Ok, if you say so. We believe everything.

The most powerful plant in the world.

Thanks for the video

IT should be legalized & taxed & the tax dollars should be used for recovery clinics, some sort of therapy treatment & what ever good programs can be funded & then a after focusing on that on roads, schools, hospitals, public transportation & anything else we can think of & all addicts should be registered so that we know & can some what monitor how ever possible in a system. If opiates like heroin where easily available there would be so many more benefits then cons like for example since it would be legal the heroin process would have standards much like the marijuana industry & therefore much cleaner product vs the dirty shit they got around today, there would be a huge decline in diseases contracted from needles because like in other countries like Canada where it’s they clinics that provide clean needles & a professional medic to shoot you up & you would essentially wipe out organized crime so therefore eliminate all the bullshit that comes with cartels & organizations like that it’s mind blowing the general public DOESNT realize this is the correct path it’s a clear & cut case there is no victory in the war on drugs it just created crime just like how the prohibition created gangsters like al Capone people are going to get high wether you like it or not people are going to get there fix at any cost that’s why there is so much violence so much crime if a addict could get there drug easily there would be a drastic reduction in all those serious issues in the modern world. Yes it’s a horrible habit, yes it’s dangerous but it’s a part of many cultures & a serious issue that needs to addressed & how we are handling it right now is clearly not working so legalize & create a god damn system & tax how the fuck am I the only person to realize this conclusion & DONT speak to me about loss I lost my little brother to fentanyl & I have gone through a struggle of my own with heroin for damn near 10 years & have a huge heart good ethics & work real hard at my craft just because I developed a addiction doesn’t mean I am a uneducated piece of shit. I will probably run circles in intellectual conversations with people that are clean & sober but have a closed minded approach.

Opium and it's relatives; mesmerizing temptresses. Femme fatales.

well made video!

Speaking of the war in Afghanistan, when was the last time you saw poppy eradication?

all natural drugs should be legal

Consulto, soy de argentina, qué nutrientes nesecita la planta, para que la cabeza sea grande y genere un buen producto final.saludos cordiales desde argentina, 🫂🙌🇦🇷🧉

My kind of country and people! Keep on with the good work, mates!

I'm rattling I wanna work there sleep there build there and most of all smoke there

I am from there, my wonderful country 03 Afyonkarahisar ❤️

yeah you did a good job on this!

Is there an online store I would love to help your community

Beautiful farms

I eat poppy seeds daily, nutrition value of it is crazy.

We make good money and help the poor. Smile. 😂😂

I Really enjoyed your doco and style of journalism. Thanks

Wonder What the percentage is in pay offs for Gov inspectors who overlook certain acres?

Poppy plant is beautiful

it's cures all their ills, except.... the unibrow!

Это рай!Что это за страна?Представте у нас такая фигура в центре города?!...

Would love to go there.

Look how healthy those people are !!!

It makes me sad hearing the effects that the heavy handed US government has on people around the world. People probably think that we support what our government does, but that isn't true.

very good

Is there an online store in Afghanistan ? Or in Turkey ?

Khaskash... Afeem.. Hasheesh...opium. morphine. ( Papavarsomniferam) ..A Life saving .Herb.....A medicinal herb..

These cut off pain patients can make their own from unwashed poppy seed

Do you score the pod before the flowers or after

im surprised, I actually thought Australia was the only producer of poppies for the pharmaceutical industry, im glad turkey has the right idea to support these farmers, monitoring of crops, hulling the poppy head, then of course being able to sell both the poppy seed and then goto the government factory and sell the husks to go into pharmaceuticals

ในหลวงไม่ได้บังคับว่าต้องเลิกปลูก แต่ทรงแนะนำให้ปลูกพืชทางเศฐษกิจ ที่ได้ผลตอบแทนพออยู่ได้โดยไม่ต้องเบียดเพื่อนมนุษย์ด้วยกัน

It should be legal to grow a small amount for pain relief.

The USA is the biggest producer of poppy plants/ heroin in the world. First they did it in the Golden Triangle, then they moves to the golden Crescent, this is well documented. Ok, Afghanistan is now apparently the leading producer? Makes sense, considering the US occupied it too. Mexico now also has a massive heroin farming industry, India still has one, as do Africa and China

Wished Afghan brothers could understand they too can make good money and be useful to the country and economy, LEGALLY, just like this honest hard-working Turkish counterpart.

They will grow in Florida they are great for pain in slicer form or tea

O-PIUM thè best flower on the planet, no heroïne oxycondin,

That would be a good doom metal song title.

哗…！ 好东西…！几时拿来大马

I want to go to Turkey 😌

Chinese been hook up this merchandise supplied by british on early century and this item came from india .

This was very informative and well done! I enjoyed this and i learned a lot. The system they have going seems to be really profitable for the people, and safer. Too bad more places could not adopt turkeys system for poppy farmers.

God Bless,The Opium Poppy! 😇

Send me some seeds!

Where could i buy seeds to grow at least 1 for an experimental project ? 🤔

IM LEAVING...FOR .. TURKEY...CAN SOMEBODY DROP ME OFF AT AIRPORT....PLZZZZ

Which is the taste of black poppy seed

We grow poppies in India too. But we are allowed to collect opium sap. But you gotta have licensed issued by government

3:26 '' if you cook the poppy's and drink the water it helps to stop your cough'' Well, no shit lol
