sonic said:A lot of tar H is sold as "opium" to people because heroin caries a negative social stigma. The easiest way to tell if you have tar heroin instead of opium is to see if it smells somewhat similar to vinegar.

Nobody? I don't understand why everybody here says smoking opium sucks but it used to be so (relatively) popular. Is it just that smoking heroin is that much better but opium is still good or what?

Anyway, it seems most people here are saying smoking opium is a bum deal. Why then, the popularity of it in the 19th century and before? When I think of opium dens, I think of people smoking opium and nodding out, just like a bunch of IV heroin users sitting around. Are you just saying it is bunk compared to heroin or all around?
