Morphine is extracted from opium poppies (Papaver somniferum) through a series of steps. First, the poppy seed pods are scored to release a milky latex, known as opium, which contains morphine and other alkaloids. This latex is collected and then dried. The morphine is then isolated through processes involving solvent extraction and purification techniques, typically involving the use of acids or bases to separate it from other compounds.
