: "What happened to me was designed to silence me," said Jim Hogshire, "and
: to some extent it did a good job of that because for the next year or more
: I was wrapped up with this case."
:
: Two years before his arrest he had written a book called "Opium for the
: Masses" (Loompanics Unlimited, 1994) which includes how-to sections on
: producing and ingesting opium.
:
: His writings were the sole reason [stated in this article here] for the
: search warrant.
:
: He faced federal drug charges for possessing flowers.
:
: In their fresh form, the illegal poppies, known as Papaver Somniferum,
: grace gardens all over the country with vibrant colors. Bouquets of the
: prohibited poppies can sometimes be found in supermarkets.
:
: Mr. Hogshire was arrested for possession of dried poppy pods which can be
: bought in most any florist's shop or craft store.
:
: The charges have finally been dropped.
