Read above. Orally, it's a strong emetic. Unless a user takes vastly more than a normal dose for their body weight, they will vomit and be fine. Opium, when smoked, is even safer as users pass out well before overdose.
It is easier to overdose on acetaminophen, and many other things you can pick up over the counter at your local pharmacy.
> It is even easier to OD on its extracts (specifically morphine)
Yes, but this is why I am using the word opium, and not morphine.
> its synthetic analogues (fentanyl).
Fentanyl is not an analog of anything found in opium, it's an entirely different molecule with no relationship whatsoever to the traditional opiates.
- darawk 7y agoI'm aware of all that. People still overdose on opium frequently. Users that are more tolerant to the opioid nausea will not vomit as readily when ODing. The emetic effect is not as strong or as universal as you seem to think it is.
