Which part of the poppy plant is opium obtained?

Opium is not grown, rather the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum) The prefix to somniferum is somni which means sleepy. After the opium poppy is planted it grows into a long stalk. Eventually flowers form at the top of the stalk and open with a little ball in the center with stamens (male parts containing pollen attached). This ball is the poppy pod, the flowers will fall off an all that will be left is a little pod on the end of the stalk. This pod will grow bigger and bigger until it is ready for harvesting. Most people leave the pod on the plant and score the surface to allow opium latex to drain out the sides where it is then collected and processed into opium or heroin. The latex contains two basic active opioids, Morphine and Codeine. Most of the poppy crop uses some chemical process to turn the opium latex into heroin where it is sold in other countries like the united states. I have no idea at the best way to do this or the actual process as I live in the United States and have never harvested poppies, or used heroin or opium, but this is generally how the plant grows. It is quite a beautiful plant, especially right before the petals fall off and it is just quite a beautiful red poppy plant.
