| description | THE TERM NARCOTIC REFERS TO opium and opium derivates or synthetic substitutes. narcotics are also
generally called opiates or opiods. Opium comes from the poppy plant Papavar somniferum. The milky fluid
that oozes from incisions in the unripe seedpod of the plant are scraped by hand and airdried
to produce

mature dried plants. The extract may be in liquid, solid or powder form. Most poppy straw concentrates made
available commercially is a fine brownish powder with a distinct odour. |
