     The intensity of opium’s euphoric effects on the brain depends on the dose and route of administration. It works quickly when smoked because the opiate chemicals pass into the lungs, where they are quickly absorbed and then sent to the brain. An opium “high” is very similar to a heroin “high”; users experience a euphoric rush, followed by relaxation and the relief of physical pain.
      Affect on body:
     Opium inhibits muscle movement in the bowels leading to constipation. It also can dry out the mouth and mucous membranes in the nose. Opium use leads to physical and psychological dependence, and can lead to overdose. 
     Overdose effects:
     Overdose effects include: slow breathing, seizures, dizziness, weakness, loss of consciousness, coma, and possible death. ]]>     2017-05-20 19:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ojo_michael26/716rp63n63nz/wish/172939824     Legal uses ojo_michael26 https://padlet.com/ojo_michael26/716rp63n63nz/wish/172939955  Opium is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
