Re: Why not go back to Opium SMOKING?

Well find some way to make high grade opium as widely available as heroin so
i can go my usual 500 metres to score and we may have a chance at trying
this out. I for one have always disliked the fact that by refining opium to
heroin we seem to lose most of the psychoactive effect we see described by
the likes of Coleridge et al. I've always wanted something that induces a
dreamy, cosy opiate like state but opium is too bulky for traffickkers to
shift and make $£$£$£ from so its really all a PIPE DREAM.
