'tis the season of the flowering poppy. The rural Waldviertel area of northern Austria has a legacy in growing poppy and selling produce (seeds, oil, etc) all over Europe. For instance, farmers in Germany are not allowed to grow poppy, so Germany imports most of the poppy seed it consumes from Austria.
And no, the farming variety of Waldviertel grown poppy is not used (nor usable) to produce opiates.
