that probably started the dope love epidemic,,,that is still in effect today,,,as today’s war takes over the poppy fields 1st,,,,,

poppies were held in special regard for their psychotropic powers which may well have played a significant role within a the Eleusian mysteries. it is considered as ‘magical’ plants, which allowed humans to transcend the world of mundane concerns and to commune with the gods.
