What drug do poppy seeds make?

Question

I heard it ages ago and can't remember. Is it heroine or opium or something like that? Thanks.

Answer 1

opium....good stuff

Answer 2

apart from the obvious poppy has been used to relax and smooth muscle tone, making it useful in the treatment of diarrhoea and abdominal cramping, and used as a sedative analgesic and antitussive.

Answer 3

Opium is the drug extracted from Poppy fruits.

Answer 4

Depends on the type of poppy.

Answer 5

No drug is made from the seeds. Although it contains trace amounts of the opiates. But you can grow poppies and from the seed pods you can harvest a milky latex which is raw opium if dried.

Opium mainly contains morphine, together with codeine and some other alkaloids. The raw opium can be changed into a smokable, more pure, opium.

From the morphine you can make heroine by acetylation.

So opium is not heroine.

Answer 9

Opium comes from opium poppies. I don't think it's from the seeds though.

"Opium is a narcotic formed from the latex (i.e., sap) released by lacerating (or "scoring") the immature seed pods of opium poppies (Papaver somniferum)."

Opium is the raw material for heroin.

Heroin (INN: diacetylmorphine, BAN: diamorphine) is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from morphine, a derivative of the opium poppy. It is the 3,6-diacetyl ester of morphine (hence diacetylmorphine). The white crystalline form is commonly the hydrochloride salt diacetylmorphine hydrochloride.

As with other opiates, heroin is used both as a pain-killer and a recreational drug.
