Opium is a drug made from the poppy plant. Poppies grow in many different countries but most poppies today are used to make heroin and opium is much less popular than in was in the past. In the past opium was widely used for both medical and recreational purposes. Opium is made by drying the latex contained with in the opium poppy. It contains morphine usually about 8-10% by weight. This is what makes opium addictive. It also contains some codeine and other alkaloids. Typically opium is smoked in order to vaporize the morphine and get high (or relieve pain). Opium was also used in other ways. For instance Laudanum was a solution of opium in alcohol that was used as a way to consume opium (and thus morphine). Opium is usually a tar-like material and can be sticky. It varies in color from yellow to tan to brown or black. Opium is not widely available because it is not very popular and it is much more profitable to refine the opium into heroin which is easier to smuggle and easier to sell. Like morphine, heroin, and oxycodone, opium is addictive and causes tolerance and dependence.

Also known as GHB is the date rape drug, it affects the neurological system, and makes one almost in a state of paralysis. It is an illegal drug in many countries.
Some drugs do in fact have medical benefits.
No. There is no evidence that chronic marijuana use causes paranoia. There are reports from some people that they experience paranoia during individual uses, but the effects do not last beyond the time that the drug is effective on them. It is not clear how much of that temporary paranoia is actually due to the effects of the drug, and how much is due to the fact that it is illegal and people are reacting to the fear of getting caught. And if you rip it fat enough you will get some nice dreams.
Phencyclidine was first created in the 1920's as a sedative for surgery. It is NOT embalming fluid. The fact that people believe that it is, is pathetic. Yes it has body numbing effects, and this might be where the rumors cane from however any one who uses embalming fluid as a drug calling it Pcp is a moron.
