Confessions of an EBay opium addict

Confessions of an EBay opium addict 04/11/2005 03:22 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Scary first person account by a guy who buys "decorative" poppy pods on eBay and uses them to make opium tea. He admits being hopelessly hooked on the vile tasting stuff, and has spent all his money supporting his habit.

By a month, I was drinking the juice of upward of 60 crushed pods per day--swallowing gallons of liquid and pissing out about $300 a week worth of tea matter. Bowl after bowl of blissful narcotic bloat that I sucked down with a silly straw.

Often, late into a session, I’d get that uncontrollable opiate itch.

Raking my skin with a giant plastic comb seemed to help. Occasionally, I’d bleed or accidentally scrape a piece of a mole right off.

The thing is, heroin gets you addicted to heroin. But opium is 40 to 50 different alkaloids, meaning 40 to 50 different drugs I was becoming addicted to.
