You and me both. I want to smoke opium badly. I'm trying to write about it, and I need to experience it, to enrich my ability to write. But it's so unbelievably hard to find information specifically on *what it is like* to smoke it. Opium is really a novelty, too, so I can't imagine I could actually get my hands on some to smoke. I also would like to experience the euphoria of the drug for its own sake.

Great lecture! The series is very informative and has been enjoyable to listen to while at work.
Thanks for the kind words!
Oxycododone is a Thebaine derivative not morphine
You're right. I think I meant to say that oxycodone was derived from opium (specifically thebaine). Oh well, mistakes were made...
Oxycodone actually comes from the baine not morphine.
I think you're right. I must have made a mistake in the video. Thanks for catching it.
