Actually, you can. Dried poppy pods are frequently used in crafts and boquets, but users crush the pods and boil them into tea. There's a thriving market in bulk dried poppy pods--ostensibly for crafting, but sold in supsiciously large quantities from websites that tend to have very precise shipping estimates prominently displayed. Estimated delivery date matters a lot when you're a junkie. A little googling turns up a whole seedy world of this stuff. Eg: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5534/howto.html
