No, I mean the same plant sticks around all year. Not just re-seeding.

You can, though there are very many different strains of papaver somniferum, and not all of them have decent, if any opium content in them.
I know for a fact that "Hoyt" brand poppy seeds sold in Australian supermarkets are Tasmanian strain. Though thats probably because Tasmania is one of the worlds largest Legal Poppy growers. They grow it for use in medications, so naturally some of those seeds end up on our supermakert shelves 
You can try them, but other than by being told by someone who knows already, the only way to know for sure is grow it and try... Sorry can't be much help with US supermarkets 
If I were you, I'd just order some of the proper seeds from online.
There are hundreds of places that stock and ship it.
Strains that are good include but are not limited to:
Giganteum
Hens and Chicks
Tasmanian or tazmanian
persian
There are a few others but cant think of them right now.
Do some research on suppliers, google is your friend.
Actually, i reckon some of Growerys sponsors would sell them, check it out

I have some interest in growing these bad boys. Anyone ever find a good place for seeds or a good tek? I've found a little bit on teks, but not much.

Look around on Ebay. Lots of people sell them. I bought Hens n chicks and china whites on there. They came up fine, but I have not harvested yet. Don't know how good they will be.
Does anyone know if hens n chicks develop more slowly than other types of poppies? My hens are way behind my china whites. The hens don't even have pods yet. Also, Three of my stems got bent somehow. The pods are still a healthy looking color of green and still appear to be swelling. I guess they are alright. Does this stem breaking thing always happen? It happened to three different stems at the same time. All were at different stages of development. I DO NOT think that anything fell on them. Could it have been slugs? They bent at the joint between a leaf and stem. All three. It will be two weeks since the petals fell off of the first one Thursday. But the crown is not erect yet. Have not scored the pod yet. Should I go ahead and do that?

Can anyone tell me the ideal growing conditions for poppies? Where I live is extremely hot and dry...not very ideal for most things other than cacti...

Opium poppies can only grow back by reseeding. The only poppy strain that can be used for opium production is Papaver Somniferum, which is an annual.

Not true....It's dependent on you climate whether they can grow back year after year. Even a quick google search show this.

June would be way too late to plant right? most papa poppies need 60 degree temp too i think
lol goddamnit! I tried sowing 600 whole foods seeds a couple years ago (I bought so much cause they roast 99% of them) and I think I saw the roots of some but they all died out prob. cause it was so damn hot.

Plant them in the fall. Then they will sprout in the spring. They need a cold shock to sprout. Just order some off of the internet if you want some good poppies.

alotta websites sell them for legit purposes... then of course you have all the ethnobotanical sites... I don't feel right recommending any though I never bought poppy seeds online
the ones you get on bagels and in "health food" stores that sell wholesale amounts of poppy seeds are often if not always roasted before sold so they aren't very good for growing

There's a few ethno-botanical that are shroomery sponsors, I've ordered from them a number of times. Good stuff.
