Has anyone done opium before?

I want to try it, its the only drug besides pot and mush that i want to try, but im unsure of what the burnout would be like.

If anyone has done it, would you be able to explain the burnout to me? - Wed, 1 Mar 2006 11:58pm

It might sound stupid, but perhaps you should grow some yourself.

This approach has two primary advantages:
1. You will know what it is you're ingesting
2. You can't easily grow enough to become completely addicted.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/opiates/opiates_faq.shtml

Check some of the recipes as well for 'Poppy-head tea' which used to be a common drink in the Queens' own Land. I have made this tea from dried oriental poppies that you might find a craft store in fact.

Better though is grow it, get some real gum out of the pods, dry it and smoke it.

Do some research and use some common sense (Do people still use that stuff?), and you'll have fun. - Fri, 3 Mar 2006 8:05pm

There's gotta be plenty of opium based products available throughout town. I see evidence of it everyday just from looking around me when I'm out about town. - Sat, 4 Mar 2006 7:42pm

Opium has been around for hundreds of years, it is the raw form of heroin.

It has never been a mainstream drug that i know of as well - Sun, 5 Mar 2006 2:24pm

To a large extent many economies of the world rely on opium almost exclusively. It has caused brutal wars, the UK to take over Hong Kong, and kept the turks/afghanies alive for millenia. China/Vietnam/Thailand/Burma

I find the politics of the opium trade facinating as well. Probably the largest single industry except for the global war-machine. - Mon, 6 Mar 2006 10:15am

You can also go to a bulk food store, or to a grocery
store, and pick up about 400grams of seeds, wash
them off with lemon, and drink it as a tea, lots of
info as usual on erowid.org, apparently
they aren't washed well enough when they enter the country. - Thu, 16 Mar 2006 6:16pm Edited: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 6:18pm

plant plant plant, be a fucking jonny poppyseed for fucks sakes. up and down the streets, sprinkle them on any loose dirt you may come across. Then, gather pods. boil. drink. itch. puke. It will be heaven. Or, dry pods, grind, and soak in 99% iso alcohol... dry off alcohol, smoke goo. - Sat, 18 Mar 2006 6:49pm Edited: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 6:54pm

If you find out exactly what they look like, you can often find them in gardens around town too. I believe it's technically illegal to grow them, but alot of little old ladys don't know the difference and alot of cops don't spend much time looking through little old ladies' gardens.

They have to be the right kind of poppys though, so make sure and do your research first.

And don't get caught or you'll end up with a mean purse-bruise on your noggin! - Mon, 20 Mar 2006 2:59pm Edited: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 3:01pm

Ya, they're everywhere in fact, but there is so many varieties it can be hard to tell them all apart. There's many breeds with morphine content, but only a handful which have enough concentration to do any good.

It is certainly too bad there isn't tinctures still sold in the drug stores like in early 20th Cent. I suspect that I for one would be a write-off if it where. A pain-free write-off however!

On a recent Myth-Busters episode they proved rather definitively that you can easily fail a drug test by eating a relatively small amount of poppy seeds. If you were tested an hour after ingestion it might be possible to pee-over after a large poppy-seed bagle.

Opium poppy 10 fuckin 1
Go to a garden store. Any fuckin one. Look for "breadseed poppies" or "hungarian poppies". But find a pack with a latin name on it. Papaver somniferum is what you want. Papaver somniferum=narcotic alkaloids.

Sow em now. Nows the time. Rip up some dirt in your yard, plant. Collect pods at what... Is it 56 days after they come up? I dunno, look it up. - Sat, 25 Mar 2006 7:20pm Edited: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 7:24pm

Slice pods and collect shortly after all the petals have fallen off by themselves. Not sure when this happens around here, but late summer most places. Allow some pods to remain for next year. - Mon, 27 Mar 2006 3:08pm Edited: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 3:09pm

It's a fun high if you like a down, dont expect to do much and make sure you have somewhere very comfortable to lay down, cause you will be taking a nap. I hate to talk good about opiates, what with the olvious addiction problems people have, but opium was a fun high. I described it to someone once as having a vice wrapped around my head and as soon as I did my first hit the vice got let go and my brain stopped hurting. Take like a hash hot knife, and about ten valiums and inhale it, that's pretty close.... - Fri, 11 Aug 2006 7:16am
