LOL, the extraction process for opium? the only tool you need is a sharp fingernail. If you want to go upmarket you can use a knife.
Go look at the file footage they always show of Hmong tribespeople in the Golden Triangle harvesting their crops, and check out what they use. You know cheese knives, with the three prongs on the curved up end? You've probably got one in your second draw down. Pretty much identical to what they use.
This is a substance that has been used for over 6000 years. You didn't have to have a degree in Org Chem, and access to rhodium to "make" this stuff work. Sheez...
The poor bastard, must of lived a pretty shit life that just got a lot shitter.
Yeah for sure...
johnboy, your saying that the poppy seeds he bought may not in fact have been imported poppy seeds and that inefficiently treated aussie seeds may have been to blame?
So they don't use poppies that don't contain opium?
that IS mind boggling, didn't know this.
