When I smoked opium in Thailand, it made me dream like crazy for an enitre day.
I just spent the enite day lying on my matress in a bamboo hut, near the Burmese border. I think it was good but after four days str8, i just had to get out of there as I was starting to lose the plot.
That was a while ago, on my worls travels, and I must say it was a blur .

you will merely be prescribed vicodin in case you pick it. Opium isn't something the medical doctors prescribe, weed is something which you would be able to prolly locate on any college or highschool campus. I wouldnt recommend sooner or later asking questions like this

It's made form poppies. It's a narcotic. If you eat poppy seed muffins you can test positive for opium on a drug screen (at least that's what I've heard...).

Um, the British brought it over to the Chinese during the Imperialism days. I believe that the Chinese got addicted.
