How do you think opium compares to a good dose of kratom? We put some O on the end of a paper clip and heated up a coat hanger to burn it with. I hit it through "the arab". It was a a glass with folded over saran wrap held on top with a rubber band. One side longer than the other, so it looked like a piece of arab headgear. A straw going into the water was the bowl and another straw going into the air pocket is what we hit. The arab guy who sold us the stuff showed us all this and is how he personally smoked the stuff. I only bought a few grams and never got the "nod", just a nice relaxed felling. It also gave me energy and made me relaxed at the same time. If I did too much I just felt hot, itchy and a little sick. I did however love the stuff and craved it hard. That is why I only did a few grams and then no more.I can't tell you how much to smoke as all opium is of different quality and strength. I will tell you that I know of many people who tossed off their first opium experience as "eh, it was ok, I got comfortable and relaxed". Well I am here to tell you that you didn't get what you are supposed to get. You will get warm, sublimely wonderful flushes up and down your spine and body. The back of your brain is carressed and that caress extends down to your shoulders and arms. You will be energized and in an enthusiastic but still languid mood. This goes away to be replaced by a "nod". Within that nod you find yourself in a waking dream state that is second to none (in my opinion, K enthusiasts might differ). You can project yourself into those dreams of fantasy and time is slowed to a crawl. If you take enough you will go in and out of sleep over and over again. I have taken amounts that will last me an entire night of dreaming and waking, waking dreams and sleeping dreams that seem upon arrising the following day to have lasted far longer than they did.
First, you must smoke the opium properly, do not apply a flame to it or you will burn off much of the active chemicals of morphine and codine.
Second, titrate properly, you must find that balance between your initial excitation and nausea. Opioids affect your brain, your stomach and your intestines. The stomach will be affected and you can get sick enough to throw up especially during your first few times - if this happens you smoked too much (or you are willing to let the bad effluent out of your body and within moments you are perfectly fine).
Once you do have the effect, then do a mix with your favorite herb but don't smoke them at the same time.
Finally, when you figure out how much you can take, eat it. You lose your initial rush but you gain in duration and depth of your experience.
In my travels I have yet to meet someone who has not been awed by opium when they have smoked it properly.
They don't call morphine GOM (God's own medicine) for nothing. It puts everything else (including heroin, in my opinion) to shame and the mix that is opium is comparable to nothing else.
I decided to try Kratom, so I got some Red Vine the other day. I took a 5 gram dose and it felt very close to O and lasted for 6 hours. I experienced the "nod" for a few hours while reading off the internets and then went to bed. No bad side effects and felt great the next morning.
