Opium smoking is not to be compared with opium eating. The opium is first prepared in such a manner as to deprive it of much of the narcotine. This prepared opium or "chaudul" is put into the pipe and brought into the flame of a small lamp, and the effect of the combustion is to destroy much of the active principle of the drug. Some of the morphia is sublimed and is deposited in the stem of the pipe. Sir George Birdwood concludes that nothing passes from deflagrating chaudul pill into the lungs but the volatile resinous constituents of the opium.
Brereton says opium smoking is not only innocuous, but positively beneficial to the system. It is a complete preservative against drunkenness. Coronavirus Resource Center.

President Theodore Roosevelt called for an international opium commission to meet in Shanghai at the urging of alarmed American missionaries stationed in the region. The law, passed in February , limited supply and drove prices up.
That pushed addicts toward more potent opiates, especially morphine and heroin. The subsequent Harrison Narcotic Act of , originally intended as a regulation of medical opium, became a near-prohibition. After the U. Supreme Court endorsed this interpretation of the law in , cities across the nation opened narcotic clinics for the addicted — a precursor to modern methadone treatment. But those that focused on long-term maintenance and older, sicker addicts — such as Dr.
Courtwright, a history professor at the University of North Florida, wrote Dark Paradise in , then updated it in to include post-World War II heroin addiction and the Reagan-era war on drugs. Modern doctors have a lot more treatment options than their 19th-century counterparts, he says, but they experienced a much more organized commercial campaign that pressed them to prescribe new opioids such as OxyContin.
Class and race play a role in that, he acknowledges. Now, Courtwright says, the country may be heading toward a wiser policy that blends drug interdiction with treatment and preventive education.
