A fact from Poppy straw appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 December 2009. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that worldwide the major source of morphine for medical and scientific use is not opium but poppy straw?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Did you know archive/2009/December.

The article Morphine has some text relevant to processing of poppy straw. I have not merged it here because the text combines processing of opium, processing of poppy straw, as well as steps that appear to be independent of whether the source was opium or poppy straw. Would someone else like to try de-tangling that text? --Una Smith (talk) 04:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
