Opioids such as morphine are, sometimes. Opium itself... not likely; morphine is the active ingredient, and dosage is a lot easier to control with the purified substance.
How do you write a paragraph about why British insisted on farmers growing opium in India?
The British insisted on farmers growing opium in India because of a trade deal with China. Tea became extremely popular in England, and by 1830, over 30 million pounds of tea was being imported from China. The rulers of China, the Manchus were unfriendly towards foreign merchants and their goods. Hence, there was nothing that England could offer to the Chinese in exchange for tea, except money. Doing so was a loss to the British treasury. Opium was used in Chinese medicine, but was banned for use due to its addictive qualities. The British started an illegal opium trade, and by 1839, there were an estimated 12 million opium smokers in China. All the supplied opium came from India and it formed an easy, cheap way to pay for the tea imported from China

How did the dutch react to the british claiming Singapore and why?
First, some background information. Singapore then was under the rule of the Johor Sultan, Abdul Rahman. His elder brother, Tengku Hussein did not become the Sultan after their father died because Abdul Rahman was by their father's side at his death and people decided to make him Sultan. Tengku Hussein had no choice but to go and live in Riau. Then Raffles learnt about it and he simply reinstated Tengku Hussein as Sultan and signed a treaty with him to let the British use Singapore. (NOTE: Abdul Rahman is under the influence of the Dutch who were the British's rivals hence Raffles could not ask Abdul Rahman to sign a treaty as the answer is surely a no and the Dutch will go and claim it.) The Dutch were angry that the British had not asked for their consent to claim Singapore. Furthermore, they find it illegitimate and hence threatened to use force to claim Singapore. They also offered to give up their ports in India. (NOTE: They do not have air transport then, so strategic locations really matter for trade. Singapore was located right in the center of the Malay Archipelago and on the China-India tea-opium trade route. Very strategic for trade).
Did the british use bribary to conqure Hong Kong?
Hong Kong was ceded to the British Empire as a result of the Treaty of Nanking. During the Opium Wars with China, the British did in fact occupy Hong Kong, and used it as a military base.
Why did the Chinese engage in the opium wars?
The British conducted an extremely lucrative trade exporting opium from their colony India to China. They were well aware that this activity caused widespread opium addiction in China, but they did not see that as their concern. After several futile attempts by the Chinese Government to get the import and use of opium under some form of control, it finally simply forbade and actively blocked the import.The big opium traders then pulled strings within the British Government, citing the seizure of opium imports by the Chinese government without compensation as a 'just' reason for war. Britain sent in a number of warships and forced the Chinese to re-allow opium imports and other British trade.Under the rules of the peace treaty after this 'First' opium war, British and other Westeners got great freedom of movement. Notable among them were British and American missionaries, who generally treated the Chinese beliefs and traditions with contempt and who were often aggressive as wel as condescending in their conversion activities. This in turn led to a number of killings of Westerners by scandalized Chinese and a general deterioration of relations between China and the West.Western countries - first Britain and France, later also Germany - used this, in combination with their complaints about insufficient freedom and volume of trade, as a pretext to start the Second Opium War. The Western powers also won this war, that led to the fall of the Chinese Governement, the legalization of the opium trade and the right of Western missionaries to freely evangelize and convert Chinese to Christianity.So it is more a matter of the Chinese being engaged in these wars than engaging in them themselves.

How was the main fleet to Singapore strategy effective in protecting Singapore?
There was no such fleet to Singapore. The HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sunk on 10 December 1941 by Japanese warplanes near the coast of Kuantan in Malaya. The British battleships should have been accompanied by the carrier Indomitable but she was damaged and without the air cover provided by the carrier, the 2 warships were nothing but useless metal that had slow reaction against the bombarding by the Japanese warplanes. The strategies that the British had were of little use in protecting Singapore. The British had control over Malaysia and Singapore. They thought that no one stood a chance in attacking Singapore from Johore, Malaysia simply because they had lots of land troops in Malaysia to fend off any enemy attacks. Hence, they stored warships on the nothern coast of Singapore, which they thought would be protected from any invaders on land. They had ample units in Malaysia and thought they simply cannot lose. Instead, the British build up cannons at the southern coast of Singapore, in Fort Canning and Sentosa. To them, the only way enemies can pose threat to Singapore was to attack by the sea, explaining their actions.

What drug is made from poppy seeds?
opium Using poppy seeds in foods such as bagels, etc are now not counted by your doctor as opiate use due to the level of result from a urine/lab test (from a gas chromatograph). Unfortunately, large use such as the "poppy seed, pineapple juice with bromalain formula" will test as morphine use. This will elininate you from any opiod regime your doctor is treating you with!
