Basic Opium Questions

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

I love opium. I would say half a gram in one session is a good place to start as it is usually anywhere from 10-25% active alkaloids and a portion is lost to BA and a tiny bit to combustion.

If you have no tolerance, I would start way lower - around a quarter to an eighth of a gram. If you have a large tolerance, you will likely find it a waste of time and money.

actually, Thebaine is mildly active, just not in you mu opiate receptors, and several other alkaloids are smooth muscle relaxants, anti-emitics, etc - I would certainly say that it is there constituents which give opium a unique high as compared to straight morphine.

Thebaine itself can be poisonous in large doses.

so can morphine, but I see your point.

it is, at most, 2% of opium by weight. Unless you get O from some weird pharmaceutical-grade poppies that have been specially engineered to produce thebaine.

Thebaine sure does produce some delicious opiates!

I've had it once or twice as it came through Chicago. Just smoked straight out of a bowl (thought it was just a bowl of herb actually till i was passed to me... hmm this tastes a bit different... nice and smooth.. geez this bowl is ripping forever... finally girl next me says after taking her rip "Too much Opium in my life!" ..now it clicks) I wish I hadn't been partying as hard those nights so I could remember and notice the effects a bit more. What I remember is after about 5 mins I was feeling as if I had just ripped a couple bowls of some strong indica. Major body high, really heavy feeling, nice calm euphoria but nearly overwhelmed by the heaviness of the high. I sat down on the couch and just sat and observed the party for the next hour or so. Probably could have laid down and had nice dreams.
