I would love to get my hands on genuine opium but it seems that all the suppliers are overseas. How often has it been available
in the US? I read somewhere that someone in the US was making opium available but a well recommended European SR vendor
but I've not seen it.
-
In all the time ive been here, ive never seen US domestic opium for sale..
The vendor BlueViking has recently added it to his list of products, only he has been selling out ridiculously fast.
-
Well, if BlueViking has been selling it, even if infrequently, then you HAVE seen it, no? Anyway, thanks for the tip, I may write to him and see what he has to say. If any vendor can get it, I think they would do very well and get a lot of new customers. A heads up to vendors, please!
-
Yes i HAVE, but thats only as of last week or something, until he began to offer it, it was unavailable US domestic.
-
Shoot BV a PM, hell let you know what the score is.
-
Thanks for the info, Db.
-
No need for thanks Shaggy, im always here to help the community 8)

Hi DB, I wrote BlueViking and will let everyone know what he says when he gets back to me. But to judge from his products page, he does expect to carry O with a good and steady supply and in the near future. A great tip DB, thanks.

Woot! Definitely update the thread please!

I tried dude. Best of luck to you.

I just placed an order a couple days ago with DOPE man for us domestic opium. I check the opiates section every day for us domestic opium to pop up and in the last 8 months or so I only saw it one other time and I didn't have coins and missed out. DOPE man has sold out already but I would imagine he gets more in since his page looks like he is importing international orders and relisting. I will let you know how the opium is once I get it. Hopefully I get it tomorrow. My suggestion to you is to set your preferences to us domestic, then click on opiates first thing every time you log on. You will find it eventually, then just pull the trigger, cause if you wait you will likely miss out like I did 3 or 4 months ago.

Actually I did see Dope Man's listing but he carries so many things that I was a little concerned and thought I'd wait to hear reports. I look forward to yours, and really hope it's good. Somehow I feel more comfortable with BlueViking, to judge by his listings and recommendations. I saw that I had a reply from BlueViking but SR is down at the moment so I wasn't able to read it. I'll report back when I do. What I really like about good opium is the 'dreams', which have a mystical quality. I've likened it to a kind of "psychedelic Heroin". I'd really be interested in a thorough report of what you experience when you get your opium and can try it out.
-
I got a reply from BlueViking. The good news is that, according to him, it is some of the best in the world. "It will knock your socks off" is what he said. The bad news is that there has been a delay and he doesn't know when it will happen. It will also be expensive, but if it is as good as he says, and given its rarity, I'll want some no matter what it costs (well, within reason!).
-
I like your description of O, it has me more excited than before. I have never tried opium, which is one of the reasons I've been so militant about keeping an eye out for it. I hope your concerns on DOPE man are not justified, I recently had my first bad experience with an SR vendor the last order I made and do not want another one already. I will update for sure once I get this shit and smoke it up. Does anyone recommend a way of smoking? Would a vaporizer work well?
-
I think a vaporizer would work quite well. Just clean off the ash periodically. Once you've smoked enough, lie down undisturbed. Tune into the pleasurable body sensations and just relax and allow yourself to become absorbed in the pleasure of it. The dreams occur in that space between waking and sleeping. You're fully conscious yet absorbed in an inner state. I'm really interested in hearing about your experience.

uh do you mean nodding?? if so i'd have to say that heroin is much more "psychedelic" (lol) than any opium, and gives a much deeper and fuller high.. and a much nicer nod!!!!!
-
Hey Heavy Reader, I've never had colorful dreams when nodding on H, have you? That's why I call Opium 'psychedelic', not H.
-
I will for sure update once I have tried the O. It didn't come yet today, but I'm not surprised, it's only had a couple mail days to travel and I imagine it is coming 1st class. I will hopefully get it tomorrow and try it Sunday.
-
Hi Redfun, Thanks for the update. I'm replying mostly to keep this thread up front so that I'll find it when you give your report.
Dope Man now has his own thread and I asked him whether he'll carry opium again. He wrote back that he will, and expects it
in about a week. So if you like it, there will be an opportunity for those who follow this thread to buy it.
-
IT CAME!!!! ;D ;D ;D
I won't be able to try it until Sunday most likely. I plan on using my buddy's vaporizer. The O is very gooey, looks like the pictures of the Opium the Indian vendors have up, so that may be where it came from if that helps inform anyone. Shipping was sufficient. I think another layer of vac seal would help. Glad DOPE man has a thread now, he has a lot of interesting products and I love the ability to get the international goods I've had my eye on from a domestic vendor. I say someone was selling a hash/opium mix in Europe and may try making my own with my next opium order, assuming all goes well with this batch. So stoked I got to pick this up, I have been dreaming of trying opium for YEARS. SR is the shit!
-
Hey RedFunGuy, how cool! It has an interesting and unique smell, right? You might put it in the freezer to get it hard before you try to take it out of the packaging. Dope Man posted somewhere that his next batch should be better than this batch, but hopefully this batch will still be good enough to get a decent effect. I think hash or pot will help potentiate the effects of the opium if they aren't strong enough by their own. And there is always BlueViking's opium which is due in in the next few weeks. So prospects are looking up for opium in the US. I'm looking forward to your experiment on Sunday and your report. Take care, Orpheus
-
Sorry to butt in so late in the conversation, but where did you find US opium?
I've had nearly ever opioid known to man, except for opium. I'm dying to know what a psychedelic nod is like.
Feel free to PM me if you like.
-
Hi YipYap, There are at least two vendors who will be selling in the next few weeks. Dope Man is one, BlueViking is the other.
So just keep an eye on the listings, or on the opium threads here, and you should be able to get some.
-
Hey Heavy Reader, I've never had colorful dreams when nodding on H, have you? That's why I call Opium 'psychedelic', not H.
absolutely, i have intense visions on H, and love the feeling of almost rising out of my body. in opium there are a whole boatload of other psychoactive ingredients though, so you may really be enjoying just having that full-spectrum, softened effect.. i sometimes prefer black tar to #4 for the same reason, it is a bit more "dreamy" i suppose, so i think i get what you mean. i have only smoked opium 3 or 4 times, and it was always mixed with hash, so i might not have the greatest impression of it. i would really like to try it again though, i love any type of drug use that allows me to break out my propane torch.. we'd heat up a bike spoke or knife and just run it slowly over the top of the wad.. perfect hits every time. i just guess it's hard for me to justify buying opium for myself when bth is so much cheaper and readily available and potent..
one thing i have never had is actual #3, and i've always really wanted to try that. unfortunately it never comes stateside really afaik, and i couldn't find any vendors who would ship #3 internationally. maybe one day though..

What do they differ in quality?
-
Blue Viking will be the best, but the most expensive. Dope Man will have a more reasonable price tag, and while maybe not as good as BV, still good enough.
-
It had a very unique and interesting smell Orpheus. I felt it was legit when smelling it, I will update once tried. Great advice about the freezer, I had seen someone talk about that before during my opium research period and it slipped my mind amidst my excitement at actually holding the O! If I like this O I will probably order from both vendors once they have new listings up. I need to try and get some coins, got all my money tied up right now. :-\
-
Yeah, opium does have a very unique smell. Undoubtedly you have real opium. The smell is particularly noticeable on the exhale; it has a sweet 'opium' smell. Once you've got it, you know opium.
-
Question. I am about 1 hour away from smoking this Opium and I do not have access to the vaporizer anymore. What would you all recommend as the next best method? I don't have any tin foil on hand but I was thinking of using a spoon and a bic lighter and chasing sucking up the smoke with a straw.
-
Hmmm. A lot of people recommend the 'hot knife' method. You hold one knife over a stove or hot flame and touch the opium (which you can put in a spoon) with it, sucking up the vapor as it arises from the spoon.
-
i havent done o since i was in high school, what an effing experience, would LOVE to do it again, def dont want to order it overseas tho, too risky/expensive.
-
so i smoked some off of tin foil with a straw and ate a little as well. I think it was around 200mg. Hope that wasn't too much. When I smoked it after taking it out of the freezer it did not melt and run like some people I have read suggested it would, don't know what that means. Smoke about an hour ago and ate it about 45 minutes ago. Right now just a very calm, stoned like feeling with no anxiety like weed can give me. I figure what I ate did not take affect yet as I took it with 6 slices of pizza.
-
i have a glass nail and globe for the bong. works wonders for honey oil, ide like to try it with some opium.
-
Redfunguy, Opium doesn't run when heated. It just bubbles, releasing a vapor which you inhale. When it is finished it leaves an ash and stops vaporizing. You might try smoking just a little marijuana to potentiate the opium and then lie down. Keep us posted.
-
Ok good to know Orpheus. I have weed but didn't use any tonight, I will match the two up Tuesday when I smoke some more of this opium. I would characterized the affects I felt as mild. I definitely felt very relaxed and calm. I am going to try a different way of smoking it next time and take a few weed rips.
-
It's probably not too potent. I think your idea of eating some and smoking some is a good one. You might not be able to smoke enough to get a decent high; a little eaten along with it might help. Definitely leave out the pizza next time! A good dose of opium can cause nausea and the pizza certainly wouldn't be a good idea for that reason. And make sure you lie down for a while to give the opportunity for dreams.
-
I will follow your suggestions Tuesday and report back.
-
I rolled a piece of the opium with some hash and smoked it through a vaporizer. It took a while for the opium to start to smoke and once I hit it a few times I could break up the chunk of opium/hash mix and get really good hits. I loaded some weed after that was getting close to done and added two beers and was completely twisted. My buddy was smoking it with me and we got fucked up off that one ball, probably 100mg. The weed/hash had a lot to do with it obviously, but we could both feel the Opium. Great night.
-
Ok revised review. I smoked the opium with no hash or weed and it was very mild in effect, not much to write home about. Smoked it out of a high end vaporizer. Decided to eat it on an empty stomach with no weed to cloud the affects. Weighed out right around 300mg, mixed it in with warm water, not too hot, and drank it over the course of about 30 minutes. It's been an hour since I finished and I am happy with how I feel. I feel like I am on slow motion watching this stanley cup game, heavy eye lids but no tired, a decent amount of euphoria. My conclusion, at least for me, is that eating it works WAY better than smoking. I would buy again, but wouldn't mind a stronger batch. For the $30 I paid for the gram I am very satisfied. ;D
