A member asked:
What amount opium is a proper dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How about "none": Does "none" work for you? Opium is an unpurified resin which contains variable amounts of morphine, codeine, Papaverine and other compounds of unknown purity and safety. However, it is highly addictive, and can cause all the grief and misery of any other opioid, but with such unknown strength and potency can be even more dangerous, especially to inexperienced users.
