Fascinating. I've always had an amateur historian bent when it comes to drug history, especially that of Papaver somniferum. From writing about laudanum label designs in my design history class to reading Steven Martin's Opium Fiend novel detailing his addiction to smoking opium like they did in the 19th century, I've had a peculiar fascination with this substance's history despite my only actual experience being with morphine before an appendectomy surgery. You seem knowledgeable about the history in this case. Any suggestions for further reading?
