remedy for ailments such as diarrhea, menstrual cramps, and respiratory problems (Quinones, 2015, p. 53). Of note, the term opiate and opioid are often interchanged, however, only two substances are opiates – naturally occurring from the opium found in poppy seeds – codeine and morphine (Cobaugh et al., 2014). All other substances synthesized from morphine are considered opioids, and as such, heroin and the prescription pain medication discussed within this thesis will be properly entitled

Script for radio documentary on the Opium Wars Presenter: It really is no wonder why the Opium Wars are rarely discussed or spoken of in mainstream media. After all, why would anyone want to look back at the disgraceful and quite frankly hideous history of how the British procured their favourite national drink? A drink they are now well known for around the world. A drink that has become synonymous with Britishness. I am of course referring to glorious tea. (Song or something can go here) Presenter:

Opiates are derivatives of the Poppy plant or better known as Opium, but are sometimes chemically reproduced scientifically in labs as products that assume the same chemical make-up. Opium is made up of two main pain relieving drugs, Morphine and Codeine, which are used in the treatment of many stages of pain. There are many different forms of Opiates, or Opioids, such as Heroin, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone. Heroin is an opiate, and is a product that is extracted from the Poppy plant and synthesized from

Today Belarusian version of the War on Drugs is based on three pillars: expensive incarcerations, punitive drug laws, and an undying zeal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) to create a utopian “Drug-Free Nation”. The results, scored by our methods of combating narcotization are nothing but disaster: appearance of dangerous synthetic drugs, inability to prevent the epidemic of HIV, accompanied by open denying of basic human rights to the drug-using minority.

drug in America today because of its harmful effects, widespread use, easily availability, low cost and the high that comes with using this drug. Heroin is a powerful narcotic and is illegal in most parts of the world. This drug is obtained from poppy opium plants. The farming of heroin can most likely be found in Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, Central America, South America, and Mexico. Since the 1980’s

are Matt, El Patron, Tam Lin, Celia, and Maria. The main setting of the book is in the Opium fields, which are strips of poppies, that lay in between the United States and Aztlan. In the beginning of the story, we learned how Matt was created in the lab, and why he is different from the rest of his kind. The main problem or conflict in the book is that Matt is a clone, and clones are looked down upon in the Opium fields. The resolution to this problem is that El Patron passes away, leading to Matt

and his friends not experiencing any toxic effects because of their habitual use of this drug. The drug that is spoken of is opium. There is a general agreement between many theorist, scientists and Pharmacologists that the Sumerians cultivated poppies and prepared opium from them in the third millennium B.C. (Brownstein 1) Opium and other drugs that derived from the poppy plant were widely used in religious practices for its euphoric properties. However, Opiates have been proven to have addictive
