It's an analgesic. All opiates feel pretty similar; heroin and codeine are really not too different. When you take a lot of either, it feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Opium IIRC is a natural mixture of morphine and codeine among some other alkaloids, but primarily those two. You can buy opium in the US in the form of "unwashed" poppy seeds (The seeds are from the pod and are coated in opium, which is typically washed off), which I don't particularly recommend due to safety and legal reasons, but that's up to you ofcourse.
