Different types of poppies are grown for eating and for opium - drug producing, so eating poppyseed doesn’t make you high or do anything do you.

Don't try bringing Everything Bagel seasoning or poppy seeds into China. And if you brought mohn tashen as tzedah laderech, be sure to finish it off on the plane before disembarking in Beijing.

Opium isn't made from the seeds, so clean seeds from an opium poppy don't have much of an effect.

This reminds me of a story I once read… a habad shliach in Utah got into trouble for serving teens who were in a drug rehab mohn hamentashen. Epes azoi. Anyone knows what I’m talking about?

Opium is made from poppy seeds and all poppy seeds can potentially be turned into opium. However, you need a huge industrial amount of poppy seeds to make a just a small amount of opium. This makes it nearly impossible to DIY, thus the popularity of synthetic opiods.

Opium is made from the seed pod, not the seeds themselves.
