While poppy seeds do not contain opium, authorities fear they could be contaminated with opiates, a class of drugs that can relieve pain and cause drowsiness.
This whole thing is clearly ridiculous, but that’s a hilariously dismissive way to describe opiates.
This is HILARIOUS because my girlfriend LOVES this seasoning and was just visiting from Korea and was searching online to see if she was allowed to bring it back 😂😂😂. People on the Korean forums were saying stuff like “omg americans are so addicted to drugs they even put them on their foods” and we were dying 😂
Ignorant and idiotic. Like banning hemp rope for its relationship to cannabis.
don’t give them ideas 😆
I mean, you can live without hemp rope, but cannabis is very illegal in South Korea, so they’re fine removing everything hemp
Analogies are hard? Cannabis is harmless. Poppy seeds are harmless. Poppy seeds are related to opium the same way hemp is related to weed. Just like hemp/cannabis, not all poppies can make heroin.
I read that poppie seeds regularly contain too much opioid and have to be pulled from sales. Hemp rope on the other hand is made from the stem of the plant, not the flower, so does not or barely contains THC.
Ah yes… Poppy seeds
Get in loser, we’re smuggling everything bagels into South Korea
