Document Summary
More on edge because the need to get more. Natural narcotics derived directly from the poppy plant. Analgesics effect: pain blockers block pain chemical respond. Euphoria: feelings of peace rarely felt when dependent upon. Opium: poppy juice milky extract that come from the seeds. Codeine: tylenol 3"s must be prescribed. Used for pain and also a cough suppressant. Not as potent so not as popular on the streets. Morphine: primary active ingredient in opium 10 times. Smoked through a pipe stronger: but if they need something they would take it. Heroin: two chemicals that have properties similar to vinegar. Contains morphine but 3 times potent than morphine. Initial thought not to be addictive, and help with the withdrawal symptoms as morphine: but they figured out it was. Hat: heroin assisted treatment (kind of like methadone) Oxycodone: synthesized from a small part of opium. Synthetic narcotics: everything happens in a lab, everything is chemical they have the same properties.
