As long as man should have to endure pain, he shall have a right to rid himself of it.
Is this a quote from somewhere?
U can do whatever but its not good
Drugs don't rid it tho, it just delays it and makes it worse (except painkillers for pyschical pain)

I tried it once years ago.
Went completely deaf in my right eye, and totally blind in both feet.
Happy days!
Absolutely hilarious.
You've recovered, I should hope?
Bs. Just makes you relaxed or really motivated. Weed is more psychoactive than Opium. Numbs pain or puts you on a dreamy nod. Nothing much more to it including heroin.

I find opium / opiates / opioids to be very healthy for me. My life has greatly improved since using
Indeed....clear-headedness and sobriety are absurdly overrated!
@@Danko_Sekulic Exactly. Nice to finally have a small conversation w someone who is intelligent enough to understand. People who rug it & or get ruined by it just dont know how to properly use it & therefore cant handle it. They let it take control of them. Back in the old days all the professionals did it daily. It was actually considered a substance for the wise & they were greatly respected if were a user. Society has brain washed the unintelligent to make them think negative of it. A couple notes on your comment: To be honest lm more clear headed on opiates & being sober is quite unhealthy.Thx
@@chris73brown are you addicted by now or not
@@user-oj8rg6vd7q Not
@@user-oj8rg6vd7q About 1 in 4 recreational opioid users become addicted, that's a bit more than with alcohol and cocaine. Unsurprisingly, that rate is the highest among IV users.
Where’s the rest of this? It seemed like it was going to be a 45-60 min special type show, but only 3 mins. :(
It’s a documentary called “addicted to pleasure”
So destroy lonely 😁
😩
Lmaoooo 🤣

Nature has given us so many ways to dream, access realms we can't usually, and kill pain. Banning cannot prevent this.
We're prone to pleasure and cannot maintain the balance between pain and pleasure in life when exposed to beautiful drugs like the opium. It's a shame really because i'd love to live a life where I could control my use of opium but I know it's not possible, atleast for most of us.
@@danielfahimislam3166And that is the fault of the government prohibiting it, the money they could make off taxing it, could be invested into state of the art rehab and detox programs, but theres too much money in prohibition, incarceration and patents instead

Gods Gift to Humanity. Legalize the plant !!!
do you even know what the opium trade did to china? Or the aftermath of morphine use with american civil war soldiers? Heroin when it was legal was used for coughs and bought over the counter and mail order catalogs, did quite a number on the people who used it. And today we have a prescription opioid epidemic leading to rise in heroin use and death from overdose. yes these drugs have their use in medicine but it is best to be careful with them. I know someone who dealt with opioid addiction and fought to break free of it.
No from Satan 😡
@@mikeyunovapix7181 people like you with this fear make people like me who really are in fucking pain from breaking 30 plus bones 10 plus surgeries compound fractures. I recently broke both hips shoulders pelvis shattered and a vertebra I fucking have been suffering everyday since I was 15 fuck this country no one cares about people in pain
ScoobyShotU How the hell did you break so many bones fella?
Mikey Unovapix .you are fooled by what you are told. Opium is the only real painkiller we have! There are other artificial painkillers. But if you have cancer, you are getting morphine! There is no substitute!
I didn't realize until the end that was Brian Cox doing the narrating! Cheers Brian!
Opium use is very useful for patients with major depression and refractory treatment, because these patients always want to commit suicide. Of course, under the supervision of a psychiatrist, opium should be used to prevent drug interactions.
Kamyar is 100 right. This plant is blessing but they banned it and karma came back they made syntetic formula x100 stronger. Thats killing people. Opium dens never killed anybody.

Awesome documentary
Really good video, the guy has charm
Brian Cox...hell of an actor!
Man people used opium/opioids back then too. It’s pretty much the exact same thing now. It’s crazy. Although it’s more synthetic now. Stuff like methadone, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc. That’s synthetic. While heroin, morphine, codeine, and even opium itself is still used that’s all natural.
I'm not a big proponent of opioids but I do care to learn more, in your opinion do you think artificial opioid cause more damage? Genuine question not sarcasm.
opium IS morphine, codeine and a few other alkaloids
@@zoberajaburz8859 oh I know.
@@theocorkrean6810 hey sorry. Just now seeing this. I’m not an expert but I think synthetic opioids do cause more damage. I think anything synthetic does.
Heroin isn't natural, but yes morphine and codeine are

Poppy is on national antem of R Macedonia in memory of one of the most important agriculture branch .The best quality of opium came from the area of Tikves in RMacedonia today the name Tikves is famous know as a region brand for good wine and raki.Black tar from poppy was export even in USA for medicine purposes.There were no drug adiction among population and after second world war later growing poppy was forbiden.

I thought I wanted to try opium but I saw a video with a former user who said there's no actual "high" (like acid or ecstasy, both of which I enjoyed immensely in my younger days) but instead it becomes a physical dependence. Apparently, after a while your body feels wrecked without it. I don't need that.
If you can get by without it then dont ever use it. Your body becomes so dependent on it that withdrawals are enough to make you wish you no longer existed. Im an "accidental addict" 61 yrs old and Drs prescribed it for chronic pain over 10 yrs ago. It works great but your body becomes dependent very quickly. Noone ever told me that it had this affect when trying to stop. Now i live with the constant fear of the pain i know i will endure if i run out,the sick to your bones feeling on withdrawals,and trying to find a Dr to prescribe them because the govt and DEA have gotten so strict. Whats so bad is people buying off the street and its often times laced with fentanyl and other drugs that instantly kill you. Ive lost all my teeth because of the medication as well. They turned to chalk and started decaying and breaking off in big chunks. I finally got all of them extracted but now ashamed to even talk to anyone in public or even my kids. Im working on getting dentures but miss my once beautiful teeth. I havent smiled in 5 yrs. It sucks. Im angry at my Drs for not fully explaining this medication but even more angry at myself for not researching it myself. I recently went thru a weekend of forced detox and withdrawals. The sickest ive ever felt in my entire life. I would give anything i owned to be physically able to never take another one as long as i live. Just dont ever get curious enough to try it.no matter how much pain youre in.
What!?! HAHAHA oh my friend there is DEFINTELY a high, been on opiate painkillers for the last 2 years straight and even single day I absolutely love it, all about self control and keeping your dose low, the same, and consistent. People don't realize you don't actually need to up your dose.
@@cathyt144lost your teeth? What the fuck? Get your life together for fuck sake , that's the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard opiates don't do shit to your teeth unless maybe your smoking them, you just lost yourself which is sad as fuck, learn some self control, I've been enjoying oxycodone every single day for over 3 years. I'm nothing different, doesn't affect me negatively very much although withdrawal can be difficult, either way I've stuck to a dose no higher than 30 to 40mg daily and haven't ever upped my dose, it's people like you that make users and or self medicators look even worse, lost your teeth??? Seriously?? Jesus christ how about brushing them everyday?? Or are you doped up and nodding out most the time? Get ahold of yourself ffs if you live in fear about withdrawal than work on lowering/tapering your dose down. Really isnt hard at all if you do it right, or get on methadone. Honestly methadone sounds like your best bet, sounds like you've totally destroyed yourself and are at rock bottom.
@@turtlemouth Opium is an opiate??? wtf do you mean lmao, it's like you're separating opium from opiates as if it isn't an opiate haha, EVERY opiate starts from a poppy plant, as does opium, and Oxycodone isn't and "Opiate" it's an "Opioid" it's synthetic, synthesized in a lab, Opiates come from the poppy plant (Opium, codeine, morphine, heroin - which is diacetylmorphine) Dude what, you need to do a lot of research, and that so sad dude lol , I took 30mg of oxy around the time I replied, I've been feeling like absolute bliss since, total happiness and relaxation and everything just feels, right.....good......nice......warm and most of all interesting, i can watch anything on youtube and be so interested, I have no clue how you felt like dog shit for......... 2 DAY?! what the fuck, did you buy it off the street or something?? Oxy is the widest abused opiate for a reason, it's incredible, you must have taken too much at once, or on an empty stomach, and or just had what most people do when the first opiate they take is one of the strongest in existence, common side effects are nausea and stuff like that so yeah it's common, it was just your first time your body isn't used to it.
@@cathyt144 May I ask, where you brushing regularly, and how long did that take to progress? Was there any decay like acid erosion from sweets?
We all know carti brought half of us here😭

... im going shopping in The gardening store tomorrow
Shush
I would love to try it in a save controlled environment.
Opioid painkillers are almost the same thing. If you've ever had a prescription or had surgery maybe you did try it in a controlled environment. It's all still addictive. Could always be a slippery slope.
Says everyone right before they ruin their life forever
LOL it isn't a bloody hallucinogenic or psychedelic hahahahha, it's an opiate, you're ALWAYS going to enjoy it, no risk of not, just maybe the first time and the risk of overdose.
@@justinbauer175 they are the same thing lol
It's not that strong, it can be though but if you stick to 100mg there should be no problem

the US military has openly said that it is protecting Afghani poppy fields. it's one of the main sources of revenue for the CIA.
You mean the world's largest source of medical morphine?
All_Paths_Lead_To_Singularity
They did the same in Vietnam
India is one of the biggest providers- as is Tasmania..even England has poppy fields now grown for morphine/codeine/diamorphine..but their whereabouts are not widely advertised.
In Tasmania, people have died from the poppies there that they have stolen and consumed.
In your so-called brain...
I actually know a few soldiers who have confirmed that they were guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan.
How do you know how much to use though? At a time? If I were to make tea, how much of the final resin do i put in how much water?
Susie tea is not gonna kill you they use it for medicine, depression and so on. Problem is when they banned this shit cartels made x1000 stronger carefentanyl that is killing our children. Back in old days opium dens and teas were legal. Drink it slow and you will know
That’s the thing doses vary each plant can have different potency

Everybody's got a crutch drink or drugs , I'd try it once
Once...and then a hundred times after that. Its very very very addictive.
This is so very happy smoke.
Have you ever had opium? In any way - smoking eating? I have been on opioids for most of my life, last decade on suboxone only and I used anything in the past. I loved opium. It was special. Home made opium I mean. It was all day work. Wake up go to the field than the work.. I did about 300/400 popies for one smoking. In the begginig of my use it was a bliss. It was a pure beauty and pure hapinnness. The feelings after first hit came in seconds. Warm tickling in my head and just one breath and the dopamine bomb exploded. It was nice

That's because you can buy drugs with it.

Long, long ago in China I'm told, to England was traded some tea. And so... sealed the fate in pieces of eight, all England and the world. Yeah, Poppies. Then soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves to India searching for gold. Instead from the ground, some magic they found. Something... far better I'm told. Yeah, Poppies. And now this story told from days of our own when gossamer doggies ran. They'd patiently wait with pieces of eight, so everybody could smile one more time. Yeah, Poppies.
