I will be travelling to Laos in two weeks and I will most likely buy some opium while I'm there. I haven't smoked the stuff in about 10 years or so. What are the best methods for smoking it? How much can I smoke without risking an overdose? Thanks for the help.
 
Smoke it out of a traditonal porcelin bowled opium pipe. If not use some type of pipe with a bowl that you can kinda indirectly heat the opium more than just putting the flame to it like weed, the old school opium pipes that are still around , I know a guy with one, used some way to get the opium to heat where it would vaporize instead of "smoke" but there is a certain teqnique to doing it like that, which I do not know. If you use a regular pipe for weed,or tobacco over there, put some bud in it,or tobacco if you have not weed, and heat it like weed,although try and keep the flame from hitting it too long, and the weed or tobacco will let the liquid opium that it turns to when heated or liquid like, tar like I guess, the weed will let the resinous opium soak into it and will last longer that way IMO. Start with a small piece and smoke that, then smoke more as needed, I do not know how much exactly would cause an OD, but smoke on a small bit and hold it in ,etc. and hit it kinda slow,do not be in a hurry,let it kick in good and you should feel the effects soon, and you will know if you need a few more hits or not..You said you smoked opium 10 years ago, so you kinda already know what to do,,just take it slow and let it kick in,and don't try to smoke it up quickly and you should be able to adjust your dose from there..
 
well, you are going to southeast Asia, but i wouldn't necessarily assume its going to be amazing....

so just start slow, and take hits until your are comfortable......

lots of ways to smoke O, so i will list another.......flatten a piece on a pin and cook over a ovens heat till flat, or maybe mold with fingers.....heat up a rod with a blow torch (clothes hanger(with the plastic burnt off)) and slowly burn the opium......inhaling thru a glass hooter or other hooter......
 
Thanks for the advice guys. It sounds like it's pretty simple. I will definitely be smoking it with weed. I remember the two have a very uplifting synergistic effect. When I smoked opium alone, it wasn't nearly as good as with weed.

Why would you assume this, there is quite a bit of opium use in SE Asian countries. I would actually guess their opium is much better than other places in the world!

Though in regards to the OP, it is hard to suggest how much to take for the first time if the potency and quality of it is unknown. Your best bet might to be ask the person you purchase it from or one of the locals that is familiar.
 
^ i agree, i think your sorta twisting what i was saying, or i was just not as clear as i could have been. its probably going to be good, i would have assumed that......but i am just saying take a hit or two and see how you feel........its hard to know exact potency with O...............
