7. How did British trade with China trigger the Opium Wars?

At the end of the 1830's the English had a negative trade balance with China. Negotiations were held but, by the end of the decade it was clear that China would not change their stance and the British were running out of silver. A decision was made to smuggle opium into China and sell it to try and recover some of the trade imbalance.

This worked well until the Emperor noticed the drain on his silver stockpile at which time he declared smoking opium a capitol crime and surrounded the trade enclave and threatened further action unless the foreign opium was sent out and destroyed.

The British, arguably the superpower of that time, sent their Expeditionary force from India and forced terms upon China.

What could cause a drug test to be positive for Dilaudid?

Not a 100% sure but the only thing I did differently than normal, and the messed up part is that they are prescribed that way is that I took 2 at one time. But I am on Oxy

30 IR every 4 to 6 as needed and 2 60 Morphine ER every 12hr and apparently I tested positive for dilaudid.

My Dr sent me a letter saying I tested positive and that he would not take care of me anymore and that I should ween my way off of the pain pills, like the pain has gone away? I so would get off of these things if I could but the pain is so intense that without the pills I don't want to live. So what the hell am I suppose to do? Blah Blah Blah... I hope this answers your question.

I believe that the morphine was the problem because I normally take 1 every 6 hrs.

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.
