What does opium look like? There must be pictures.

Opium, also known as opium, commonly known as poisonous fog, comes from poppy capsules and contains more than 20 alkaloids, which can be divided into phenanthrene and isoquinoline. The former is morphine (about 10%) and codeine, and the latter is papaverine. Opium is black or brown due to different producing areas; It smells of ammonia or old urine, bitter and strong. Raw opium can be cooked and fermented to make refined opium, which is brown or golden yellow. Smoking gives off a sweet smell. (Information comes from Baidu website link)
