We know that some people have goten things that were seemingly opiate in nature, but the fact remains there is one source for opium and it oozes out white and turns black.
What remains is if someone has obtained an opiate in large amounts and produced some kind of man made resin product that does have a narcotic in it. Let me tell you how far fetched this is, anyone with a real opiate in that large an amount would probably make a powder and sell it as heroin for the money value.
Now what we dont know is if someone is geting such a nice deal on this shit that when selling it for whatever the opium crap sells for its quite profitable. First we need a candidate for the narcotic involved, heroin is out, morphine i think is not easy enough to get in pure form like neccesary so its out, all the common pain killers are out because they couldnt provide the ratio of activity to weight neccesary, execpt things like Fentanyl, which would be a serious thing to look at. Someone with a kilo of pure fentanyl, even an ounce or so, could theoretically make a resin solution of known amount, disolve a know ratio of fentanyl to resin, and dry it, and make a shitload of money, granted people smoke it like they eat candy so it has to be a small amount of opiate per unit of smokeing material.
For an ounce of this crap lets say you need a 1/4 gram to smoke, or an amount large enough that one wouldnt want to smoke much more physically, and put say 40-50mcg of fentanyl in this (multiplied by the total of these to get the total of fentanyl neccesary), you have a product that looks nifty and doesnt really smell like an opiate, but is quite active, this is very possible although not probable, someone may realize how many idiots buy resin shit here and want a way to secure real customer bases, or want to make a simple casual way to use fentanyl, its quite feasable money wise, someone making or geting pure liquid or powder fentanyl for cheap could theoretically make a shitload more doing this because of the very very small amount neccesarry.
Its possible, this is basically the only way that anything but black tar is active, so think about it and anyone who has had this real opiate, record down what you remember, we need to start an opium FAQ as well, Ill start doing some basic research and get some things together.
