It's not hydrocodone, but it's herbal: opium tea. Opium tea is brewed from the straw of broken up pods of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. The brew contains the natural opiates morphine and codeine, among other natural compounds that cause various effects, which can include nausea and other adverse GI effects including constipation due to smooth muscle relaxation.
No. The California poppy (Eschscholzia californica)contains different alkaloids than the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Therefore, an extract of the California poppy would not exhibit the same effects as opium. Herbal shops sometimes sell California poppy resin as a mild sedative, but the effectiveness of this preperation is not proven.
Opium is simply the sap, or juice of the flower Papaver somniferum. When it is dried, it is rather thick and sticky. There are several chemicals in opium that have psychological/physiological effects. Most prominent are morphine and codeine. The chemicals bind to receptors in the body (brain & G.I. tract) and can cause euphoria, nausea, constipation, sedation and analgesia (ease of pain).
