Episode description
Opium is one of human-kind's oldest drugs. We have been eating, smoking, snorting and injecting it for at least 6,000 years, and fighting wars over it for more than 500 years.
Its been cultivated, distilled, processed, and synthesized ever since we realized it was a good buzz, and now there are so many different types of opioids that most of us have no idea what we are taking, or how strong it is compared to other types.
This episode details the history, production and use of opium products. From Tramadol to Fentanyl; from pills to injections; from black tar heroin to "China White"--if you are looking for information about heroin, morphine or other opioids, this is the episode for you.
