The last time I had opium was about three years ago. I just woke up, hungover and tired, and some guy was like "you look like you want to smoke some opium." So we smoked. It tasted and smelled amazing. He ended giving me two grams so I gave him a bunch a mescaline. Then some other guy walked by and gave me some free moonshine. That was one of the best mornings I've ever had.
I like pod tea the best but I can't find them anymore either.

Dark_Star said: That sounds like incense to me. I forget exactly how real opium smells, as it's been a while, but it doesn't smell like incense. I had an opiate problem for years, hence a tolerance, yet only a few tokes of real opium would put me down. It was way more than just mellow; it was a 5 hour nap. Whereas other opiates, heroin included, would give me energy/sedate me, until I got enough in me to nod. Even low dosing opium with the intent to get buzzed & run around always ended up with me laying down. I only bought real opium once, and it was from the person that had grown the plants. There wasn't a lot of it, but enough for me to get a couple grams.
Smoking the incense shit on top of weed & getting a "mellow high" is infamous. Of course you're high, cause you're smoking weed. Than factor in the placebo effect, and the high seems more mellow cause of the "opium". In reality you're just stoned.
I understand what a placebo effect is and how susceptible people are to it. I have also seen the fake ass incense. I tried it without weed and it had the same result sans the cannabis buzz. When I would pack a bowl it would almost always be shared between several (4-5) people. Everyone got ripped off of one bowl. I also had a friend fail his weekly piss test for opiates so they elevated his rehab terms because it was only pot before (dude didn't give a fuck about passing them ever lol). Also, it wasn't a mellow "high", it was more of a mellow "low" if that makes sense.
The smell was very subtle but delightful. I've grown poppies once since this and the tiny bit I got had the same effect, and a lot of the other stuff would knock me out. I didn't see the need in justifying my experience like this in my original post, but it irks me when someone who wasn't there makes a snap judgement based off of minimal information. I'll be sure to include every detail of my experiences in the future. I feel like I'm writing a fucking book here.
Also, I never said it smelled of incense. It had a sweet and very unique smell when burning (to me it was kinda floral which makes sense because it is comes from a flower).
As far as your own personal experience regarding effects, I found the quote below in another opium thread. Sounds like I'm not the only one that a small amount induces a mellowing effect in, nor are you the only one that would describe it as you did.
I get a feeling you had cooked opium (mine was raw), but I'm not you and wasn't there so I don't want to sound too presumptuous.

Opium? You're kidding. Opium is by far the calmest drug I've ever had the pleasure of trying. Heroin and morphine I could see but opium? I'm not seeing it.

It was really fairly common in the late 90's. I picked up a big ball of it hand over fist in 98 at a Phish show. Was high for almost a year(moderately using of course). I would put a small chunk on the end of a cigarette or two and go to parties, bars, ect….
Smoked some at a party in 07.
God I loved that smell and would know it to this day.

My friend claimed to have gotten some real opium for 60 bucks a gram, but I always assumed it was fake. All the other opium I have seen I knew was fake, or at best heroin mixed with some type of incense. No profit in opium, makes way more sense to just convert it into heroin before its smuggled in here.

I'm with Dark Star on this one. When I read your original comment, It sounded exactly like what I've seen around. See my post 3 years ago: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13601476#13601476
