My buddies were smoking opium last night. When they passed the bowl to me i was like "get that shit out of my face." Opium comes from poppy. So fuck opium cause herion also comes from poppy. What exactly does opium do to you? What are the side effects? I read that it is nearly as bad as herion. I wont even try shrooms. I stick to only pot. Fuck acid, shrooms and opium. Those drugs can ruin your life.
iv always heard and read it makes u reaaly sick after awhile..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaahahahahahahahahahahahaaaahahahaa
Another text book example of an ignorant pot head who'll believe marijuana isn't bad because all the cool kids are smoking it, yet accept the other bullshit people say about other drugs. No doubt drugs can ruin your life, if not used properly and the same goes for cannabis.
Now if you don't like or use other drugs all the power to you, but all drugs deserve respect as it is respect that prevents abuse.
Opium comes from poppies, Papaver Somniferum, the latex resulted from scratching the pods is rich in morphine, codeine, thebaine and papaverine. These are all opiates and among the best pain killers known to man.
Smoked opium will likely sedate you and put you in a floaty dream world. It takes repeated smoking sessions for several days in a row to develop any addiction to opium and the current availability and value of opium makes this even more difficult.
Heroin is made by extracting the morphine from opium and reacting it with acetic anhydride, the chemical name for the resulting substance is diacetylmorphine.
The addition of the two acetyl groups make it easier for heroin to cross the blood brain barrier, it is then broken down to morphine again in the brain.
Even heroin requires up to two weeks of consecutive use before physical addiction manifests.
I dont care about opium though cause i aint ever gonna use it. Half the reason pot is illegal is becauseof other drugs. The government believes pot leads to other drugs (which is true sometimes). If nothing but pot were to exist (no other drugs at all!) than i bet there would be a better chance it would be legal in the US. Im sure smokin opium once in a while isnt that bad but i say fuck opium.
opium is awesome. it tastes so sweet and gives you a really good high. ive smoked it on many occasions and have never had any bad side affects or cravings. it usually puts u to sleep if u smoke enough.
I've done opiated weed and hash, and it was awesone. Clearly you got to be carefull because the feeling is so addicting .... Comfortably numb.
I disagree.
The way I see it pot is illegal because hemp was a threat to lumber and textile industries.
In fact the term 'marijuana' was never used in the US prior to the early 1900s when a man named William Randolph Hearst, who happened to own the majority of the media, started sensationalizing stories of how mexican immigrants smoked this evil 'marijuana' and went on murder rampages. According to Harry Anslinger marijuana was much worse than cocaine and heroin and even caused African americans to become insulant and step on white mens shadows.
In short the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed to protect the interests of lumber giant Dupont and newspaper king Hearst. Incase you didn't know an acre of hemp can produce as much paper as four acres of trees and has thousands of other commerical uses. The Marijuana Tax Act was later found unconstitutional thanks to LSD guru Timothy Leary, in response congress passed the Controlled Substances Act 1969.

By the way, rumour has it opium was made illegal to spite chinese immigrants and I wouldn't be surprised considering the horrible treatment they recieved here in America.
Agreed. A great high and it smells incredible, too. I wish it was easier to find in my area...Quote:

shut up, you little kid. You obviously don't know anything. I'm not saying you should have puffed on it, but you need to keep your mouth firmly shut concerning matters that you have no idea of.Quote:

But the negative long and short term effects of other drugs are much worse...I mean ever heard of someone dying of a weed overdose? And guys don't start on me, this is my own personal opinion!! I might not know much about opium or heroin, but I know what I like and thats a big fat spliff (or 3) at the end of a long hard day:)
Personally i think you have to be open minded try everything once and if you dont like it next time you will know not to have any and actually have a reason (based on personal experience). I believe that there are to many laws and rules imposed in society nobody is truely free to do what they wish (within reason like no murdering) we are supposed to live in a democracy and slowly it is turning into a dictatorship , i think that if what you are doing is not hurting anyone than urself then it shud be accepted. We live in a society full of conformists and the only way this can change is if people voice their opinions and live by their own rules (again within reason).
nothing like a nice opiate when ya need one
herion does come from poppy after a long process
but opium is about like taking a vicoden as far as addicting it is just like piankillers are
weed rules in my book
but opium is second
not particually appealing to me.
EVERYONE STOP USING SHROOMS, ACID, AND OPIUM.
That shit CAN ruin lives.
((-goes and spends all the money his mom gave him for mcdonalds on a dime bag of pot-))
Fuck shrooms, acid, and opium. ((What a random fucking list, by the way. Mentioning two psychadellics and the least addicting form of opiates. How many lives have you seen shrooms/acid/opium ruin in comparison to weed/alcohol/uppers?))
Null, it's good to see you back man. A great knowledgable resource. :). Yes, opium is interesting. I know several people who cultivate it and use rather frequently. Keep it in moderation and you're fine.
LOL!!!! I thought I was the only person to use that excuse. "Hey, ma, can I have some money to go out to eat at McDonald's tonight? Like...10 bucks?"Quote:

Opium,Heroin,Morpheine and Methadone Have wrecked my life..
You done the right thing by staying away from that shit..
and anyone who says otherwise Is a Stupid Little child trying to look cool..
I wouldnt wish an opiate addiction on my worst enemy stay away from the shit..
It matters who the user is Noosa. Yeah you might have been addicted to those drugs, but theres others that can take some of those and not be addicted or be fulfilled with trying it once or a few times. I personally have tried jsut two of those and I don't think they are that great. Yeah they could be fun once in a while but not for regular use, thats where they fuck you up. I don't think Smokey Mcpot shoulod try any of those, but there are many drug users who could and cold handle them(not with daily use, but once in a while).
-peace
