| Effects Of Smoking Opium |
Question:
What effects are there when smoking opium?
Answer:
Smoking it regularly can increase your tolerance- faster than you think.
The good thing about growing your own opium is that usually by the time
you think you've picked up a habit, you run out. The other good thing
about growing opium is that it's a fiddly, low yield job, particularly
using the easier to get, purple variety. You'd only do it if you were
fairly dedicated to having a smoke of O. In the quantities it takes to
pull a reasonable crop, it is way too much work for the money or the
buzz...not to mention the risk.
As to the amounts you'd start with, it's best left to the individual
really, start with a matchead size portion of opium per person and take
it from there. The effects of opium are fairly immediate, making it easier
to calculate an appropriate smoking dose as opposed to say, dropping
acid. It is, of course, much easier to overdose via oral dose of opium,
which is why I've recommended the smoking route.
If you are non-tolerant of
opiates, the effects of smoking opium should last for around 6 hours.
I'm not aware of any studies of the health effects of smoking opium. I
would really doubt that there have been any studies linking opium smoking
to cancer. It wouldn't surprise me, though, to find out that there were
bad effects on the lungs from smoking opium. But I don't think you can
say that it causes lung cancer, since I doubt anyone has studied it enough
to know.
