It may be legal to grow opium poppies in the US for garden or seed purposes, just not for the processing into opium.

Michael Pollan also wrote an essay about it (I think taking a slightly stronger position).

I don't doubt it, but are they so common that I might walk by them in my own neighborhood? (I'm asking, I have no idea).

Yes, I still see them while walking around here in Victoria, BC. I have some seeds from a friend as well. They circulate and people grow them out of curiosity as well I guess. You’ve maybe seen them without realizing it.
