Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • About 60 percent of the worlds opium is produced in the remote parts of Southeast Asia, especially in the aptly named Golden Triangle, which includes parts of Burma, Laos, and Thailand.
  • Since the opium is heated rather than burned, only smoke-free vapor is inhaled; there are no "tars" or other carcinogens to cause cancer.
  • In 1796 opium is banned again and once more in 1800, at penalty of death.
  • This can seem insignificant until you consider that opium is only about 12% alkaloids, and you can end up with a kilo of thinnings or more in your home garden.
  • Several pods can be scraped before the opium is placed into a container.
