Opioids Why is smokable opium worthless relative to tea?

[ADruggie]

I've smoked opium that I harvested all night without being able to tell for sure if I was getting anything more than placebo effects, but the tea is consistent and can get very strong. Is it just the climate that the poppies are grown in? Would it work better in Afghanistan? If the ratio of smoked vs. brewed effect was the same, but it was just that the poppies were stronger, what would you put into a tea with the stronger poppies, like a quarter of a pod?? I don't understand what the point of smoking is. It tastes pretty nice, I guess. In the dens they must have been getting real effects though. I'm confused.

I've never tried either but the first thought that comes to mind is that you somehow did the extraction/preparation for the smokeable material wrong. Or you're smoking it the wrong way.

I'll let more experienced people chime in though.

unless grown perfectly and especially with alot of rain that would probably be the cause.
