comparable to hash.... low grade 10$ a gram

opium is a great high, and compared to other more powerful synthetic opiates such as morphine, herion, hydrocodone, and oxycontin, its alot less habit forming... for recreational use anyways. its been years since ive come across any for sale tho. pity, i happen to love the taste myself
I got some if you want some LOL

..............Scored poppy..................... Raw opium..........................Black tar opium.............. 200g Spanish opium ball



Harvesting and processing
Raw opium may be sold to a merchant or broker on the black market, but it usually does not travel far from the field before it is refined into morphine base, because pungent, jelly-like raw opium is bulkier and harder to smuggle. Crude laboratories in the field are capable of refining opium into morphine base by a simple acid-base extraction. A sticky, brown paste, morphine base is pressed into bricks and sun-dried, and can either be smoked, prepared into other forms or processed into heroin.[7]
Other methods of preparation (besides smoking), include processing into regular opium tincture (tinctura opii), laudanum, paregoric (tinctura opii camphorata), herbal wine (eg vinum opii), opium powder (pulvis opii), opium sirup (sirupus opii) and opium extract (extractum opii)[71]. Vinum opii is made by combining sugar, white wine, cinnamon, and cloves. Opium sirup is made by combining 997.5 part sugar sirup with 2.5 parts opium extract. Opium extract (extractum opii) finally can be made by macerating raw opium with water. To make opium extract, 20 parts water are combined with 1 part raw opium which has been boiled for 5 minutes (the latter to ease mixing).

The leading legal production method is the Gregory process, whereby the entire poppy, excluding roots and leaves, is mashed and stewed in dilute acid solutions. The alkaloids are then recovered via acid-base extraction and purified. This process was developed in the UK during World War II, when wartime shortages of many essential drugs encouraged innovation in pharmaceutical processing.

Acid-base extraction
is a procedure using sequential liquid-liquid extractions to purify acids and bases from mixtures based on their chemical properties. Acid-base extraction is routinely performed during the work-up after chemical syntheses and for the isolation of compounds and natural products like alkaloids from crude extracts. The product is largely free of neutral and acidic or basic impurities. It is not possible to separate chemically similar acids or bases using this simple method.
Technique
Usually, the mixture is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as dichloromethane or diethyl ether (ether), and poured into a separating funnel. An aqueous solution of the acid or base is added, and the pH of the aqueous phase is adjusted to bring the compound of interest into its required form. After shaking and allowing for phase separation, the phase containing the compound of interest is collected. The procedure is then repeated with this phase at the opposite pH range. The order of the step is not important and the process can be repeated to increase the separation. However, it is often convenient to have the compound dissolved the organic phase after the last step, so that evaporation of the solvent yields the product.









Alternatives to acid-base extraction including:
  • filtering the mixture through a plug of silica gel or alumina — charged salts tend to remain strongly adsorbed to the silica gel or alumina
  • ion exchange chromatography can separate acids, bases, or mixtures of strong and weak acids and bases by their varying affinities to the column medium at different pH.

that second video is very interesting- it tell how they scratch the surface and let that latext like substance drip out and allow it to harden , and then come back to remove it, by scraping it off - sounds like a long and tuff harvest, us weed grower thought our harvest was a pain in the ass

from the pics what i had was of the spanish opium variety.. i remember the rich red color that really brightened up as it would melt in the bowl. tastes really good too.

Yea you let it dry and scrape it. You can smoke it if you want. I put mine directly into gel capsules in 1/4 grams. The high is just relaxing. It takes any pain away I have and it makes me feel good. Do not drive or do anything while high on it though. Sometimes it makes you really tired.

Cool thread, man. forgot about opium, hadnt seen it around in years. I dont see how somebody could be into herb and hate on opium; i think that dude was a little confused. Opium is not heroin. there is no heroin in opium. It can be addictive, but if you need it for pain, and you would be using a pharmaceutical that you cant afford, than opium is a great choice. No pot user should ever judge you for this.

and to the dude who said it had a reddish color in his bowl, it was probably fake. no real opium is red, fake stuff is often red. real stuff is dark brown. and its delicious mixed with hash and mixed in with a bowl.

Thanks man...I just go out and scrape some of those...After 3 hours I go and see what is "produced", and then smoke it...:lol:

Not planted by me, natural ones...some are in my garden and some are across my house, on a field...

So how much should i scrape to get some one time smoke??
:peace:
Make sure all the leaves have been off for 2 weeks before you cut them. Cut a couple of them but smoke 1/4 to 1 gram. I would start at 1/4 gram and move up from there a 1/4 gram will probally do it though.

OK, many, many thanks friend..I have never thought that U can easily smoke the raw stuff....


But one more question mann, why should the leaves have to be off...Can i go even if the poppies leaves are intact??


Peace bro....


(Hehehe..going to drink some amanita muscaria tea today too....Too hot right now....:lol::lol::lol:)

it wasnt fake. it was dark brown, it just turned red as it melted if you burned it real slow...

The leaves have to fall off naturally. It's part of the flowering process. After the leaves fall off you will see the pod. In 2 weeks the pod will be ready. During the 2 weeks it's ripening. If it isn't ripe it's useless.

Aahh-you mean the flowers covering the pod-of course...I was a little confuse:eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke:
