Are the affects from raw opium stronger than the affects of heroin?
Not at all. Raw opium contains a mixture of several alkaloids, the most powerful of which is morphine. While morphine is a very powerful drug, it has a difficult time passing through the blood-brain-barrier, and therefore is not as powerful as diacetylmorphine (heroin) which quickly passes into the brain for immediate and powerful effects.

Heroin is made from morphine, which is extracted from the opium poppy plant. The process involves several steps, which typically occur in clandestine laboratories.

Illegal drug cartels and criminal networks control the production and distribution networks of heroin.
Is the Opium Poppy endangered?
Papaver somniferum is hardly endangered! The world's pharmaceutical industry depends on the raw opium from this plant for manufacturing the plethora of narcotic drugs widely available throughout the world. And I suppose a quick survey of Afghanistan will show you that the plant is thriving in this and other parts of the world that harvest opium for illicit conversion into heroin. So the short answer is No, "Opium Poppy" (Papaver Somniferum) is not endangered what-so-ever in the least.

Who is most likely to use opium?
Native Americans and Orientals, because it is part of their culture upbringing and also used in spiritual/religious ceremonies. Opium (as derived from the poppy flowering plant) is native to the Old World, not the New World. Native Americans (and other indigenous populations of the Western Hemisphere) do NOT have a history of opium use, and do NOT use it in traditional ceremonies. The above answer probably confuses it with peyote or other hallucinogenic flowering plants native to the Americas. Presuming the question refers specifically to raw opium (verses refined opium; processed opium goes by the name heroin). Historically, opium was a pain relief agent and recreational drug, both in China and later throughout Europe and North America. Today, the most likely users of opium are either those who have a cultural connection to opium use (primarily asians of ethnic chinese descent, certain sub-continental Indian groups, and Afghanis ), or who have a severe pain issue and are unable to gain access to (or afford) other painkillers.

How does one extract the opium resign and turn into what you can smoke?
Opium is produced by scoring the poppy pods which causes the latex to ooze out and then solidify. This raw opium is converted to smoking opium by dissolving it in hot water and filtering it to remove plant material and other insoluble impurities. The water and opium mixture is then heated over a low flame to evaporate the water. Once it resembles a sticky paste it is dried in the sun.
