White poppy, flour poppy or smoke poppy are all names for a poppy plants that grows in the southern reaches of Scandera and have historically played an important part in Scanderan medicine and herbal lore. It is as a result one of the few poppies that have been cultuvated for agricultural use and even today is it grown for it's medicinal purposes. It has also gained somewhat fame as a well beloved plant in gardens but still so is the plant considered something of a legal grey zone when it comes to cultivation due to the ability to make the narcotic material poppy flour from it and while personal cultivation is generally overlooked so are large scaled production without royal permission generally frowned upon.

This latex is then dried and leaves a white powder that generally have been used as a anaesthesiac, especially during operations and other more complex kinds of medical injections. By smoking poppy flour so are the patient put in a sleepish state and generally fall asleep quickly in a deep sleep where they can sleep past even amputations.
