Poppy straw is defined as:

• A. Includes only the seeds
• B. Includes all parts of the poppy plant, except the seeds
• C. Includes seeds and leaves only
• D. Includes only the seed pods

Answer: (B)

Poppy straw refers to the plant material of the opium poppy after harvest, including leaves, stems, and seed pods, but excluding the seeds themselves. These parts contain opiate alkaloids like morphine and codeine, which is why they’re regulated. The seeds, meanwhile, have only negligible alkaloid content, so they’re not included in the definition. That makes the option describing all parts of the plant except the seeds the best fit. The other options miss either including the full plant material (besides seeds) or inappropriately limit to seeds or seed pods.
