True or false The British ended the opium trade to China in 1836?
Yes. In 1729, the Chinese imperial government, alarmed at its debilitating effect, prohibited the sale of opium mixed with tobacco and banned opium-smoking houses. Selling opium for smoking "was classed with robbery and instigation to murder, and punished with banishment or death," wrote Joshua Rowntree in "The Imperial Drug Trade," published in London in 1905. But this didn't stop Britain, which had gradually been taking over the opium trade from its European capitalist rivals, Portugal and Holland. Much of the opium at this time was grown and manufactured in British India. Capt. Hamilton, a private British adventurer who spent 40 years in India in the first part of the 18th century, described the city of Patna there as "frequented by Europeans, where the English and Dutch have factories. It produces so much opium that it serves all the countries in India with that commodity."

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.
