[CLICK HERE] for a recipe for pain, insomnia, and anxiety called TINCTURE OF POPPY.
The tincture uses California poppies.
One more thing I found...

Thank you Mimi! Much love your way! I am counting the days until Nov. 4th. Imagining it will be an epic change to the better. We all should be at our best during times we believe are the worst...
