Push to ban addictive poppy derivative [CAN]

Brampton councillor wants ban on addictive poppy derivative
ovember 17, 2008 - cbc.ca

A city councillor in Brampton, Ont., is pushing to have a legal substance closely related to opium banned from sale.

Doda, sometimes called dode, is created by grinding the husks and seeds of the poppy plant. Although opium created from the same plant is illegal, doda is not.

The powder is used by some taxi drivers, factory workers and truck drivers in the South Asian community to help them stay awake.

But many, including Brampton Coun. Vicky Dhillon, say doda is dangerous and addictive, and they want it banned.

Doda is openly sold at flea markets, meat shops and flower stores in South Asian neighbourhoods.

According to Dhillon, he has seen "long lineups of people and they don't want to give you their names because they're feeling embarrassment, shame. They are buying that cheap drug and what [are] they going to tell to their kids and their wives?"

It's estimated some users spend between $10 and $40 per day on doda.

Addiction specialist Dr. Steven Black said the effects of doda are "no different [from] shooting a needle up your arm."

However, said Black, "unlike other patients that are addicted, like heroin patients, all these patients work and have young families."

Black has used methadone to wean hundreds of young men from the South Asian community off doda.

Health Canada says it's studying the substance to determine if it should be added to the list of controlled substances and drugs.

So this doda is basically good for people looking to make opium tea?
