Indoor Herb Garden Kits and Herbal Remedies

The following is the comment from Ezine Articles regarding why they blocked a post on Opium poppies and my reply to them. Read the article and please comment if you think the banning was legit or just uninformed.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your email. Your article “Opium Poppy – Soul Stealer and Great Healer – Herb Garden Plants” was placed in Problem Status because it promotes growing opium poppies and contains details on opium use. This goes against our editorial guidelines so we would not be able to accept an article with this type of content. You may edit your article to remove any promotion of the drug opium, and once this is done, you may re-submit your article for approval.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you,
xxxx

And my reply:

Xxxx, calling a plant a “soul stealer” can hardly be called promoting its virtues. It is a legitimate and widely grown herb garden plant, which is what my blog is about.

I note that my articles on aconite – a truly deadly poison – was OK’d for publishing. Was this because I did not “actively” promote it as a potential weapon in the article?

The article will be removed – I hope you do not mind if I post your comment on my blog and on Twitter.

Regards, Pete
