Which part of the opium plant contains morphine?
Morphine is primarily found in the latex sap of the opium poppy plant's unripe seed pods. The opium poppy's seed pods contain a milky liquid that contains morphine as well as codeine and other alkaloids.
Can the opium alkaloids in poppy's dissolve in butane?
yes
What type of flower produces Opium?
Opium is produced from the poppy flower, specifically the species Papaver somniferum, commonly known as the opium poppy. The plant's seed pods contain a milky latex, which, when harvested and processed, yields opium. This substance is the source of various alkaloids, including morphine and codeine, used for their analgesic properties.
Does clonazepam have opium in it?
No, clonazepam does not contain opium. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat anxiety and seizures, while opium is a naturally occurring substance derived from the poppy plant that is used as a narcotic analgesic. They are two separate substances with different mechanisms of action.
How do you extract alkaloids from plants?
Alkaloids can be extracted from plants using various techniques such as solvent extraction, acid-base extraction, and chromatography. The process typically involves macerating the plant material, mixing it with a solvent (such as ethanol or methanol), filtering the mixture, and then evaporating the solvent to obtain the alkaloid extract. Purification may be needed using additional techniques such as column chromatography or crystallization.

What is the chemical structure of opium?
Opium itself is not a single drug or chemical, and does not have its own distinct chemical structure. Instead, opium is a "cocktail" of different drugs (opiate alkaloids) which all occur in the plant's resin naturally. There are many different active substances (alkaloids) found in the resin (opium latex). The main psychoactives are morphine, codeine, and thebaine, however, there are many others. Each one of these opiate alkaloids has its own unique chemical structure and properties. Each one also acts independently on the central nervous system (CNS) when opium is ingested, but they all produce (somewhat) similar effects which compliment each other. So basically, opium is just a mixture (or "cocktail") of several different drugs known as opiate alkaloids. They are all found in the opium poppy's natural "latex" or "resin". This resin is eaten, smoked, made into tea, or chemically processed to separate each alkaloid for drug production (whether legally for pharmaceutical purposes, or illegally for illicit drug manufacture). You should research the different chemical structures of all of opium's different alkaloids. The main alkaloids of interest are, again, Morphine, Codeine, and Thebaine. However, there are many other alkaloids, but the effects of these may be much less, different, or inert (inactive). I hope that I have given you (and others) a better understanding of opium's nature. Just remember that opium is NOT one drug or substance. It is simply a latex (or resin) from the plant's seed pods that contains several drugs.
Can the opium alkaloids in poppy's dissolve in butane?
yes
What elements are in opium?
Well, there would be a LOT of carbon, lots of hydrogen too, a few oxygens and the occasional nitrogen to keep things a little north of pH 7.
Was the blue flower in batman opium?
No, poppies look quite different to the flower in "Batman Begins." Also, the effects are quite different. The alkaloids in opium do not produce fear, in fact they produce the opposite - sedation.
Can you make opium from California poppies?
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.
Is their a difference between poppy seeds and sesame seeds?
Opium seeds are poppy seed, but there are different species of poppies only a few of which produce the sap that is rich in opium alkaloids. Most species of poppy produce only insignificant amounts of opium alkaloids.

Is co-codamol made from cocain?
No, co-codamol is not made from cocaine. Co-codamol is a combination medication that contains paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine, which is an opioid pain reliever derived from the opium poppy. While both codeine and cocaine are alkaloids from the opium poppy and coca plants, respectively, they are distinct substances with different uses and effects.
What has the author Hugo Martin Krueger written?
Hugo Martin Krueger has written: 'The pharmacology of the opium alkaloids' -- subject(s): Morphine, Opium, Physiological effect
What i opiate?
Opiate describes any of the opioid analgesic alkaloids found as natural products in the opium poppy plant
Why does your blood have no opium if you are taking opium?
opium is a latex mixture of alkaloids such as morphine, codeine and thebaine just to name a few. opium is therefore a mixture and when you take opium these drugs are metabolised into compounds such morphine. This means that if they gave you a blood test they would find morphine and other things on the same lines of that but not opium as opium is a mixture of drugs not an actual individual drug
