How is opium make?

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!

Papaver somniferum is hardly endangered!

So the short answer is No, "Opium Poppy" (Papaver Somniferum) is not endangered what-so-ever in the least.

Does papaver rhoeas make opium?

Papaver rhoeas has a very different alkaloidal makeup than Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy. While containing virtually no morphine or codeine, Papaver rhoeas does contain high levels of the alkaloid thebaine, which, through complex chemical synthesis, can be converted into drugs such as oxycodone, buprenorphine, and the more potent Bentley compounds. While the above mentioned drugs are still usually manufactured using Papaver somniferum, many pharmaceutical companies, as well as national governments (read about the Nixon plan during the '70s) have considered the possibility of using Papaver rhoeas as a substitute for the opium poppy due to its high thebaine content. To answer your question succinctly, Papaver rhoeas does contain opiate alkaloids (i.e. thebaine), though not morphine or codeine (or the levels are so low as to be insignificant), and therefore does not "make opium" in the traditional sense. Further, conversion of thebaine to any psychoactive opioid constituent requires complex laboratory synthesis and equipment out of the reach of anyone but the most expert of chemists.

Is it possible to quit using opium after you are already addicted to it?

Opium addiction, along with heroin, morphine, codeine and the other synthetic opioids, is a rapidly-progressing addiction that can hook you in a matter of days (as you probably know already). It is also a difficult addiction to leave, because of the discomfort of the withdrawal.

Fortunately, it is also treatable if you want to kick. The ideal method is short-term detox with a replacement drug such as Suboxone (which kills the sickness and speeds up the detox), followed by comprehensive treatment and support. If you live in any large city there should be resources open to you.

We also recommend attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings so that you will meet people who have been successful and can help you along in your recovery.
