I've smoked "opium" 3 times and never got high. All the kids I knew that bought it bought it from legit drug dealers that they were friends with for years. All of my friends got high except me, moral of the story- Opium is like pussy, though people that know what they are doing don't get a kick out of a fake one, people that don't know no better think they are both good, they just need to feel the real one to see the difference. I have also made pod tea and smoked pod puddy and I gotta say the reason why opium died out is cause it sucks compared to heroin/opiate pharms, its a fucking waste. Also, real opium doesn't smell like flowers when they burn, nor do they taste flowery. They smell like wierd when burned and taste like vitamin C, really tart. I was going to grow some poppies this year, but then I realized that I could probally make some more money growing pumpkins, and they are legal. This whole discussion really reminds me of people saying how there is heroin in E.
