Sixty to 100 mg of opium equals an oral dose of 6 to 10 mg of morphine base, meconate, pectinate, nitrate and other forms that are in opium As a starting oral morphine dose for the opioid naïve subjects is 5-10 mg, I would lay out two 50 mg dose and take them 90 minutes apart.
The oral to parenteral efficacy ratio of morphine is about 6:1, so if one is already on the Hillbilly Heroin, Nu Blues/Obama, Vikes, Pierrette, Palf, Dollies, Dummy Oil, horse, Miss Emma, D, high-dose Schoolboy, Aunt Tillie, or what have you, multiply your IV dose by six to get the oral dose of the midnight oil
but:
Consider that medicinal opium is standardised to 10 per cent morphine and 3 per cent codeine by weight but at the point it comes from the plant itself is 8 to 17 per cent. There are naturally-occurring and human-assisted South Central Asian poppies which can get up to 19 per cent, whilst the opium poppies yielding over 25 per cent appear to be restricted to Tasmania or at least they were.
Start slow as one can take more opium later but it is difficult to take less. Weighing a given amount of opium then dissolving it in 100 ml of mixture of water and ethanol and drinking it little by little is how I bio-assay opium when there is any question about its provenance and potency.
I have found that taking an antihistamine and DXM with opium is good, and I wash it down with Apfelsaft Gespritzt, carbonated water mixed with lemon-limeade or Coca-Cola as the bubbles drive the active ingredients through the stomach wall faster. So Alka-Seltzer Cold Medicine is always a big hit.
Also, even if started on 5-10 mg of morphine hydrochloride or sulphate, during acute pain treatment 15 to 30 mg are more common so that may be an intermediate-term goal if the opium doesn't have the expected kick -- titrate it a mg morphine equivalent at a time.
The stuff is tarry to solid and brittle and somewhere from very dark red to black, correct? If it is white, pink, grey or light brown, your paste could be morphine base aka Heroin No. 3
