well, I dont really know anything about opium. I have smoked it once because my friends had some. it was red rock. I really didnt like it either. all it really seemed to do was make me feel retarded and reallllly pissed off. not to mention that it smelled HORRIBLE and made a mess of my bowl! yeah so anyway, what exactly is opium? Is it addictive? is it concidered a hard drug? and how is it related to heroin? sorry to sound dumb. I know i probably should of found this stuff out b4 doing it...
