California Poppy is the state flower of california. You can't make drugs with it.

Now, if they were going to say Opium Poppy specifically, then he has a point.
/hits buzzer !!!!
The answer is WRONG

Although you can´t make heroin out of it, it does have recreational uses.
I´ve drank Goldmohn (German name) tee and although it doesn´t hit you like opium, it does have it´s sedative values (same go´s for smoking it which produces a minor cannabis type of buzz).
Just wanted to point that straight.

btw Wiki also has something to say
California poppy leaves were used medicinally by Native Americans, and the pollen was used cosmetically. The seeds are used in cooking.
Extract from the California poppy acts as a mild sedative when smoked. The effect is far milder than that of opium, which contains a different class of alkaloids
