I smoke Opium once a year,or I am able to get opium once a year from family who bring it to the US from Vancouver.B.C. and it is usually SEA opium although I think last year it was Afghani Opium and was not as good really ,but got the job done.I love the Amber Opium as they call it from SEA,it is like the "glass" opium described above and is orangeish ,yellowsih or reddish brown or a mix of these colors and is much stronger than the black opium I smoked from other countries.When I was in Eygypt they had some good black opium,also in Vietnam a few years back there was some super potent SEA "glasslike" opium that 3 hits had me nodding...wish I could visit these places or some place again that has Opium growing and readily available....lol..smoked some Opium in Mexico about 10 years ago and it was in a poppy growing area,and it was shit compared to the SEA and african,Asian opium,and it wasn't black tar heroin either, lol...it was raw from the poppy and dried while I was there..Blahh nasty weak shit..
