Opiates From Sugar: A Fermentation Route

  • Opiates are big business, both legally and illegally. In either case, crops of opium poppies need to be cultivated to harvest opium which creates problems. What if that wasn't the case? What if you could ferment opiates directly from sugar instead? Turns out scientists are working to do just that...

    The tendency for vomiting from thebaine and other non psychoactive alkaloids in opium makes it ,opium,quite difficult to overdose from. If a user has no tolerance, they’ll likely vomit before it’s all absorbed. If a tolerance is present in a user, that in itself would also be a hinderance to overdose on top of the thebaine. Laudanum is problematic because it has large amounts of opium dissolved into a liquid and therefore a very large amount of morphine and codeine. Much more than just opium dissolved into a tea. It’s really beyond me why opium is illegal. If it were legally available, just by growing one’s own supply,fentanyl and heroin market would be reduced drastically. Humans have been using opium for at least 10k years. It was never much of a problem until modern drug laws were passed. Immediately, the most concentrated and potent and therefore addictive and deadly versions of the drug(opioids)were being smuggled and sold on the black market for astronomical profit margins. It’s not a mysterious phenomenon.

      I would love to agree and on paper some of what you said makes sense but from over a decade of personal experience with different forms of opium from smoking and orally ingesting refined opium to drinking my fair share of unrefined poppy pod and seed brews what youve said is just not the case at all (do not underestimate the potency of poppy tea, its often more intense than smoking the refined product and a single dose lasts upto 24 hours with a peak that lasts about 6-7 hours).
      The nature of Opiate addiction leads addicts to push things as far as possible everyday, once youve experienced nodding out on huge doses its the only way you can feel satisfied, anything less than nodding out for hours on end everyday no longer satisfies leading the addict to skirt the edge of overdose on a daily basis in order to achieve a nod, as they do this they also compensate for the ever growing tolerance with larger doses. Poppy tea is especially dangerous for overdose due to not just the drastic variation in potency from batch to batch but also due to its incredibly long half life leading to a buildup in your system if you redose within 24 hours of you original dose, I have experienced more than one overdose from Poppy tea due to these reasons and my tolerance was incredibly high from Oxycodone use back then. The other issue with poppy tea overdose is the fact that the peak of effects lasts for upto 7 hours and Nalaxone only works for about an hour meaning you constantly need to re-administer naloxone for many hours until the peak ends and breathing starts to return to normal, this means the user will be in precipitated withdrawal for upto 8-10 hours which is dangerous in and of itself. Another point Id like to make is the fact that tolerance to the different effects of Opioids rises at significantly different rates, tolerance to the nausea increases faster than any other effect whereas tolerance to the respiratory depression increases slower than any other effect including analgesia and subjective euphoria which also counters your point.
      Id also like that add that Ive actually overdosed on Thebaine due to the recall of toxic poppy seeds that were circulated in stores around Australia in 2022 and mistakenly sold as papaver somniferum. While the Thebaine caused major convulsions and muscle spasms along with tachycardia and high blood pressure among other negative effects I didn’t have a single hint of nausea and didn’t throw up at all. This is actually the event that got me to finally quit opioids as poppy seeds and pods are the only source of opioids I have available to me at this point in my life and I dont want to risk another toxic batch.

      I used to drink poppy tea quite a bit. I got a batch of seeds once ( Seed tea, this was the last time I used it ) that had what I suspected of high amounts of thebaine. It was giving me LOTS of anxiety and seizure like jerks when I would try to sleep . Like little mini seizures, was this from thebaine? It was *really* scary

      @@mvmusic8467 Don’t drink as much poppy tea. Yes it DEFINITELY is stronger than smoking it. At some point you have to use judgement. There’s a ceiling effect as you only have so many opioid receptors. Some people will push themselves beyond reasonable doses on anything. Take alcohol for example. My point is, making it illegal has just made opiates more and more dangerous. It’s going to be much more difficult to push your luck with opium than it is with fentanyl. You used oxycodone. That’s where your tolerance came from. If you grew up in a culture where opium was more understood and available legally, you likely wouldn’t have learned to do as much as humanly possible every time you were lucky enough to get it in your hands. As far as the half life goes, it lasts the same as morphine because that’s what it is. It’s just not refined down to its active ingredient which provides a buffer. I’m sorry you had to experience thebaine that way. Definitely be sure about what you’re taking. It’s still much easier to determine proper poppy plants than it is to guess what’s in the white powder or black tar that is currently easily available in every community. If you do use opiates or any drug again, always remember that they are much more effective and safe if used in moderation. That includes alcohol and cannabis.

    I used to live where they grew opium poppies on farms to harvest the seeds. These were for bakers to put on hard rolls and bagels etc. You know, those tiny black seeds. Birds spread them all over the area. There were poppies growing through the cracks in the sidewalk, along the train and trolley car tracks, just about every open space where weeds were growing. I don’t know what type of poppies they were but they looked exactly like the photos on this video. I would go first thing in the morning for a walk and slice the pods along my route. I had learned when and how to do it. In early afternoon I would retrace my steps and by then the white latex had turned black. I would harvest it, roll it into a little ball, which grew bigger day by day during the season. I would pinch off a tiny bit, and either dissolve it in a cup of tea or just swallow it. I got stoned as hell! Lasted all day. 😁 this was in Europe. Where I’m not going to say. The poppy seed industry no longer exists thanks to the do gooders, but our friends the birds have spread it all over the place.

      Papaver somniferum is what is grown for bread seed and baked goods in Czech republic,Hngary and Poland and it contains both morphine and codeine, it's not very different from afghani or turkish poppies really. They can be and are used to make opium and other drugs. There was a fad of buying blue poppy seed in bulk from groccery strores and washing the seeds with water to recover the small amount of latex leftover on the seed from mechanical harvesting. it worked to one degree or another with pretty much any store bought poppy seed but was dangerous due to never knowing the concentration of the solution and people overdosed a few times
      and thank you for pointing out that poppies don't need "good farmland" as claimed by the video and will grow in various soils anywhere it can get a foot hold and a little water occasionally. othere than they absolutely hate to be transplanted or have their roots otherwise disturbed poppies are failry easy to grow as an annual in almost all of north america,europe,the middle east,africa and asia. There are also signifigant poppy farms in Tasmania south of Australia.
      the video also fails to mention that cannabis is a major crop in afghanistan that requires irrigated good land or fertilizer to produce well whereas poppies and wheat require less water so they are really competing for second place not first

Also you can remove the Tylenol and isolate the hydrocodone in like 20 minutes. Hydrocodone on its own is perfectly fine, its strength is either on par with or slightly below that of morphine on a mg per mg basis, I don't recall off the top of my head, but nothing really to turn your nose up at.

    You're kind of wrong about the definition of opioid. "Opioid" doesn't have anything to do with natural or synthetic: opioids are simply anything that interacts with the opioid receptors, and opiates come directly from opium poppies. All opiates are opioids, but not all opioids are opiates. Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine are both natural indole alkaloid opioids that are either consumed in or extracted from plant material, but they're not opiates.

      @@chrisbrent7487at least in the length of the video I’ve watched, he states “Opiate: extracted from opium, and Opioid: mimics natural substances from the opium plant (synthetic)”.
      While heroin is synthetic, it’s of opiate structure, whereas like the other commenter is saying, kratom is organic and an opioid. What I’ve been taught is Opiates are any drugs from the opium poppy as stated, but also certain synthetic drugs that follow the same pattern of structure, like heroin, oxycodone, hydromorphone, etc. Opioid, however, is any drug that interacts with opioid receptors in the expected way, like kratom (Mitragynine and others), fentanyl, nitazenes, etc. An exception that I know of is salvia divinorum, because while its main chemical salvinorin a is a kappa opioid receptor agonist, it isn’t referred to as an opioid due to its atypical dissociative effects and lack of expected anxiolysis and analgesia, tho I find it kinda numbing and therefore analgesic at times.
      A rule to rule to remember for anyone reading is all opiates are opioids, but not all opioids are opiates. Still confusing, but that helped me.
      Please correct me if I’m wrong about any of this, but this is what I’ve gathered over the years of casual research as I’ve always been more interested in chemicals that lead to a state of psychedelia or dissociation, but I think I’ve learned a decent amount

    I took pharmacology in college 50 years ago, and I spent a career in healthcare regulation. Pharmacologically, opioid does not include only synthetic substances which mimic natural opiates. Opioids are substances which act at opiate receptors, including both natural and synthetic opioids. Further complicating things for American viewers, U.S. controlled substance laws defines opiate and opioid as interchangeable, to include all opioids, both natural and synthetic. 21 USC 802(18).

      Oh it's worse than that.

Post 2 surgeries I took myseldnoffnof.pain management where my monthly bill was 250 a month and I never failed a urine test nor missed a pill in the monthly count. Then my primary care physician moved to be close to his kids in college. I then spent 3 years searching for a family or primary care doctor. Dozens of doctors taking patients will not accept me as a patient, not even other doctors in the same practice, had in 2 years missing 2 entire discs only gotten 1 prescription for pain from him that I made last like 4 months before i decided I'd probably be able to sleep if i went to pain management. So I don't even ask for pain meds, don't want them, took myself off because I'd rather be in pain but here is the kicker no one will take me as patient because i had been in pain management. I would of never been in pain management of I had gotten surgery in a timely fashion. We are in a catch 22..I being disabled and 55 can not get any medical care except through emergency services because I was injured and needed care the entire.medical.community has left.me to die or go to emergency To manage blood pressure, heart burn, a cold, ear infection or other health issues.

    Two years ago, my mother in law was prescribed opium as she was entering chemotherapy.

    At that time, I "had been around the block" regarding everything available on the street. It was a 25 year experience that had been ceased for ten years when she gave me the bottle.
    I took a 10ml dose from the bottle. My first dose felt "cleaner", if that makes any sense, and I had no stomach issues. It felt like a 10mg percocet, but "cleaner".
    The 150ml bottle lasted me a year. It was fantastic. No hangover, but I did recognize a tolerance by day three.

      Hangover? Is that a subtle term for "potential relapse into full fledged use & dependence"? Opiates don't produce "hangovers" e.g. alcohol, or in any conventional sense. It's only a matter of time before dependence on both a biological & conscious level occurs; "recreational, frequent use of opiates responsibly forever" is a lie. An impossibility. The closest thing to a "hangover" is the painful reaction created by newly created µ & related receptors emptying & resulting in the mind reeling in agony & imbalance to some degree. Manifesting as mere irritability, discomfort/craving, all the way to utter dysfunction & excruciating withdrawal from the brain being perpetually chemically rewired. Each time anyone ingests an opiate agonist, a permanent change is created in the brain from which it never heals. There's no "reset" button, just dogma & wishful thinking.
      Opiate agonists, alcohol, benzodiazepines (created in large part as substitutes for what natural opiates were once used for, before Harry J Anslinger & his goons got the US & much of the world to outlaw them), barbiturates, alcohol... All have one thing in common: They create chemical changes in the brain on the level of DNA. Much in pop culture glorifies the use of alcohol & hard drugs, baiting & hooking more souls into a burgeoning black market in the US & increasingly the world over. The DEA (among others), in defiance of basic human rights & our constitution, work hand in hand with them, creating a devastating blight on society. DEA ensures the black market for "scheduled" or illegal, pernicious commodities thrives by adding a heavy element of risk targeting the upper-middle to lower part of said market, ensuring it's very existence & survival, along with it's perpetual bloodshed. The illicit market provides often lethal products leading to untold suffering & death to Americans who pay an egregiously inflated price for a usually potentially lethal, often extremely harmful, adulterated & unfit end product. This also helps keep the US's world record prison population growing & often over capacity. 20% of the world's prisoners are in the US, with only roughly 5% of the word's population.
      Statistics show the very existence of DEA & their futile, deadly war on drugs result in yet more consumers for the black market, simply by taking advantage of youthful rebellion & human nature: telling people they aren't allowed to ingest something only ensures many defy the unreasonable imposition & do the opposite. Sad but true.

I won't say it tasted great, or good, or even easy to drink, but she did manage to make it taste better, and less bitter over time, to the point where it resembled a natural tea, than a curious concoction of chemistry. I suppose it would be more or less like the best possible situation with Kratom, without "the urge to purge".

    Any opium derivatived opioid like heroin or oxycodone are technically opiates under some definitions. It really depends on who you ask. heroin is not synthetic it is a semi synthetic like oxycodone or hydrocodone which are debatably opiates. Synthetics are things like methadone, fentanyl, or Tramadol. Also there are more than “several” or six opium alkaloids infact there is 68 if I’m not mistaken.

    I had no issues with any of the alkaloids in the opium. I used poppy tea from dried pods from 2004-2016, twice a day from a cold water extract. Went through about 300$ of pods every 12 days. The poppy tea was quite reliable, and the dose would provide the same feeling and length with minimal dose increases over the years. The powerful euphoria was mostly felt in large muscle groups, especially thighs but it was a whole body buzz. Once buzz peaked about 45min in, it would hold for an hour, slightly reduce the euphoria then but would hold for 12-18 hours.

      @stringlarson1247 26 днів тому +9

      Yes, it is very common for first-time users. However, the initial rush comes first, then puke, and then feel good. The initial rush/puke part is why a lot of people have tried it once (usually snorting or smoking), and it was enough to keep them from wanting to try it again, as the longer-term euphoria wasn't worth going through that first bit again. Based on my experience, this is a large majority of people. For others, especially people who have undiagnosed and untreated issues with depression, for example, the 'euphoria' is more of a 'wow, I feel really good, happy, etc.' and will continue to use it. The vomiting part is usually a one or two-time thing, and the rush is dose-dependent. As dopamine receptors adapt to the increase in dopamine, the user requires larger doses as tolerance increases over time.

Maybe there is something about alcohol breaking down into something like that, I wouldn’t be too surprised if so, but I think it has more to do with its interaction with the natural neurotransmitters if I’m correct. It’s similar to how drugs like amphetamines are directly dopaminergic, but opioids also influence your levels of dopamine.
