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.
