Over the last few years, a lot of shroomerites have been experimenting with poppies, poppy tea, etc. And I've noticed that a lot more of them seem to complain about opiate addictions now. Maybe its just my perception, but poppies have definitely become more prevalent among the drug culture these last few years and it doesn't seem to be doing us any favors. If you have an addictive personality, I'd stay away as best you can.

it does depend on the person, and everything revolving around them. but all opioids/opiates are generally very addictive substances. from my own experience i wouldnt recommend anyone try it, but some people can handle it, yeah. a lot cannot though.

for me personally, i have a habit with other opiates, but poppies not so much...i never had an urge of making tea every day. if i make a strong batch, drink up and get sick at the end of the night... i have no urge to do opiates for a long time

Poppy tea makes me sick thinking about drinking it. I do about once every two weeks, drink a small amount of tea, 2 poppy heads, and it gets me so smashed I am puking sometimes, and that is enough to ward me away from every day or even every week use.
However I have a friend who drinks 10-15 of the same pods a day, and has formed quite a habit.

Since the subject was brought up I'd like to ask a question. I have seen the black tar-like stuff. Seen it put in the bowl of a bong and smoked with weed. Is that made from the milky stuff secreted from the pods? I know next to nothing about this stuff.

As to opiates, I've only tried heroin, once, and as far as I know substances, that one certainly is addictive. I stay away, and, looking to some of my friends, I recommend the same to everyone.

Very.
Opium is very addictive. And the sneaky bit about it is that it feels totally benign most of the time, until you are quite substantially into the habit.
If you smoke crack chances are that when the vial is done you are craving more. That gets you thinking.
With opium, nothing seems wrong at all, until you cut down one day and discover that YOU CAN'T.
A few years ago I said the same thing and one guy particularly attacked me for it. Later on I got a mail to the effect "if only if I had listened about that insidiousness". He started with a small hobby and got a big problem.

Yeah, I've never smoked it, but it must be like really good weed and you feel like you could just smoke as much as you want and not OD and smoke it as frequently as you want and not get addicted.

Yeah, bad comparison. I know it's a totally different substance. But I just think that the act of smoking (really, vaporizing) a crude substance like opium give speople the pot-smoking mentality — and pot's a drug you can use very liberally: any dose, as much as you want; people get their hands on opium and go "Wow, this is like weed but 20x better!!!" This is my new drug!!!

The thing is opium is weak compared to stronger opoid alternatives. Even allot of the pharms are stronger like oxycodone etc.. Herion forget about it. The problem with the opium is the opium leading to stronger more addictive substances imo.

Usually people are very confident that they have opiates under control. Quite often a few months or years later it turns out that this wasn't so.
It took Thomas DeQuincy nine years to get addicted to laudanum, but then he was quite addicted for the rest of his days.
After his Confessions of an English Opium Eater he got back on opiates again and didnt kick it.

when you grow opium it's easier to not get addicted as long as you only take your own and don't grow a lot

Well IMO no, Look up the potency equivalents of opium compared to perhaps oxycodone, Injectable Morphine, and not to even mention all the fentenly derivatives. Then if your talking non-pharms then it goes from opium to di-actyl morphine(heroin) which is a shitton stronger. So IMO opium is the soft drug as far as opiates are concerned except for maybe codeine.

Meperidine (Demerol) is less potent than morphine but you can get just as addicted to it.
Smoked opium is close to smoked heroin in the strengths of effect it can produce in nontolerant people, and addictive risks also will be similar.
Codeine is a shitty agonist, but every full agonist is likely to cause addiction if used recreationally.

Even though there's a risk of addiction, that's no reason not to try it, in my opinion.

Give it a try anyway, dont let anyone scare you away from something you want to do with all this addiction bullshit. Ive done oxycodone plenty of times.. when the stash was done I was just fine. I do codeine and tramadol quite regularly at large doses, but it does not interfere with my life one bit. I prioritize my life, school before drugs etc. I can go without them if its really necessary for me to do so.
Plenty of people can maintain a normal lifestyle while doing opiates, you may be one of those people.. but you will never find out until you try. What if you are one of those people and never try because you're too scared of addiction? How much better could your life have been with opiates? You could reward yourself with a nice bowl of opium after a long hard day at work, after finishing a difficult exam at school.. Ive never heard of anyone becoming addicted to any substance (even crack) just from one hit, give opium a try and see how you may think it will affect you from there.
The people scaring you away are giving you very biased views, we're not talking about heroin here. Dont treat it like so.

meth will get you hooked the first time...thats besides the point..i hate that drug, never been offered it and never will take it..
Anyway, i stray away from hard drugs but opium sounded pretty hard but ill see what ends up in my garden...
By the way am i the only one that thikns that america is weird for allowing you to grow opium poppies legally, then making the chemicals in it illegal...thats kind of like saying ' well its ok to grow marijuana as long as you dont intend on smoking it' ....which i understand that opium poppies have awesome flowers (now only if we could get a pot plant that had flowers that huge)
And im also considering letting some of my poppies grow wild in the woods around here...do you think if a person stumbled upon a poppie plant would they recognize it as a drug containing plant or a wild flower??
Thank you all

Opiates, and Opiods (those which bind to the mu-opiod receptor anyway) are all VERY addictive.
I go through periods every now and then, where I use hydrocodone or codeine on a daily basis. I feel awesome during those times, but even the minor withdrawls from my supply running out, totally fucking sucks. Horrible, horrible, horrible dysphoria, and the shits. The withdrawls only get worse as your habit gets bigger.
Look, opiates kick ass. I'm not gonna fucking lie about it. But they are addictive. Way worse than anything else I know of.
