Opium was one of theNatural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet thegood article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can berenominated. Editors may also seek areassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
For the illegal drug trade, the morphine is extracted from the opium latex...The last two paragraphs in the Lede appear to be contrasting the legal production of opioids with the illegal. The above, italicized statement reads as if it is in contrast to the previous paragraph; as if the illegal opioids are made from the poppy's "latex", but the legal opiods are not. Instinctively I feel like they are both probably made from the latex, but the phrasing of the last paragraph makes me wonder if the previous paragraph left an important detail out. My point is that the Lede should be clear on whether or not legal and illegal opioid products are both made from the latex. or is their production different in some way. In general, I have the sense that there is a coordinated effort by the media to obscure the source and method of legal opioid production, and to create the illusion that they are two radically different things, perhaps as a way to factor "Big Pharma" out of the opium production equation. Heroin is bad and dangerous can comes from a dirty place like Afghanistan, but oxycontin is good, wholesome, and pure, and is manufactured in a lab somewhere.68.206.248.178 (talk)14:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The British queenVictoria, not willing to replace the cheap opium with costly silver, began theFirst Opium War in 1840, the British winning Hong Kong and trade concessions in the first of a series ofUnequal Treaties.
Apart from almost insanely over-estimating the power of the British monarchy at this time, when parliament bestrode the land as its own personal dungheap, isn't this straying into Lyndon LaRouche land ?Claverhouse (talk)02:43, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is a case recently in New Jersey for bust on heroin. This cross state issue is not traffic cop on internet data. It is a not real time and statement missing issue in BAI form.174.29.93.157 (talk)17:50, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's clear fromthis UN document that prices for opium, retail and wholesale, vary widely depending on location and circumstances. The current wholesale price of $3k per kilo isn't even validated by the cited source - the source says $800. I am going to remove these fields given how misleading it is to give a single figure for a commodity that can vary so wildly. ♠PMC♠(talk)21:20, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
