Communities can be devastated by a poor opium yield. You don’t want to anger the Cornish warlords!
Agreed. People don’t realise how difficult they’ve made the area for the swinging community.
“Hello, whole country, don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s a great beauty spot that lots of people have been taking selfies from. Please don’t come here and do the same”
It’s a great metaphor for all the people who fly around the world to take photos of them enjoying nature before it’s wiped out by the climate change they’re creating and funding.
I don’t think those doing this understand the long term damage this will cause. It is not just this year’s field that will be affected, it will be an issue for years as the fields struggle to cope with the influx of tourists prevents the land recovering from the previous year. That place will be a wasteland just so that people can get a selfie they will forget about after a week.
It’s so depressing watching other people travel to amazing places and events just to view the whole thing through their phone.
All this talk of poppies liking disturbed ground is nonsense. They may well like rough unkept ground, but no flowers thrive on people trampling through/on them. Poppies have delicate flowers.
Not sure about now but, when I lived near there those fields used to be riddled with Adders.

Poppies [like disturbed ground](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/jul/11/dan-pearson-poppies-poppy#:~:text=The%20annual%20poppies%20are%20dependent,have%20flattened%20a%20building%20site.), so consider bringing a small artillery piece and shelling the area for an even better crop next year.
