What are advantages of opium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only advantages of opium is that it is not in your hands.

Opium is addictive and opiate withdrawals are extremely painful and mentally debilitating . No opium is not a better more pure form of the cut heroin you get in your town. Most of the time opium in the USA is cut with things like shoe polish, brown sugar, the opium sented insence, and anything that kind of looks like it is just thrown in because people don't care how it looks smells or even taste when they are full blown addicts or drug dealers but in their case they are often addicted to opiates also

How is opium make?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the stage where you would normally heat the raw opium in the process of making smokable opium, you put your substance in a pot of water at 70 degrees celcius (I might be recalling this incorrectly, you should look this up first). Add calcium carbonate to the solution and change the PH through whatever means to 9,1.

At 9,1 PH the morphine will start to bind with the calcium carbonate, so now you can just leave it there for a while until the water evaporates on its own-- provided you've got a reasonable amount of water, the morphine should be just about done at this point.

Happy cooking!

Does acetaminophen have opium in it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is typically not picked up on a drug test. However, you should always bring your current prescription meds you are taking to a drug test so that they can be documented at that time. Even if something does pop on a test, if it is a legally prescribed or over the counter medication, it won't be counted against you passing.

Is the Opium Poppy endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Papaver somniferum is hardly endangered! The world's pharmaceutical industry depends on the raw opium from this plant for manufacturing the plethora of narcotic drugs widely available throughout the world. And I suppose a quick survey of Afghanistan will show you that the plant is thriving in this and other parts of the world that harvest opium for illicit conversion into heroin. So the short answer is No, "Opium Poppy" (Papaver Somniferum) is not endangered what-so-ever in the least.
