*'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - In comparison to other [[opioids]], this particular substance can be considered similar in its physical euphoria when compared with that of [[morphine]] or [[diacetylmorphine]] (heroin) . The sensation itself can be described as extreme feelings of intense physical comfort, warmth, love and bliss.

*'''[[Effect::Respiratory depression]]''' - At low to moderate doses, this effect results in the sensation that the breath is slowed down mildly to moderately, but does not cause noticeable impairment. At high doses and overdoses, opioid-induced respiratory depression can result in a shortness of breath, abnormal breathing patterns, semi-consciousness, or unconsciousness. Severe overdoses can result in a coma or death without immediate medical attention.

*'''[[Effect::Sedation or Stimulation]]''' - This effect occurs mainly at low to common doses. Opium is known for it stimulating properties the main cause of stimulation is [[thebaine]] and other alcaloids present in the sap the levels of stimulating alcaloids can vary between batches thats why sometimes users get stimulated by opium and sometimes sedated .

Opium refers to dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other semi synthetic opioids. The latex also contains the closely related opiates codeine and thebaine, and non-analgesic alkaloids such as papaverine and noscapine.
Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWikicontributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.
Euphoria - In comparison to other opioids, this particular substance can be considered similar in its physical euphoria when compared with that of morphine or diacetylmorphine (heroin) . The sensation itself can be described as extreme feelings of intense physical comfort, warmth, love and bliss.
Respiratory depression - At low to moderate doses, this effect results in the sensation that the breath is slowed down mildly to moderately, but does not cause noticeable impairment. At high doses and overdoses, opioid-induced respiratory depression can result in a shortness of breath, abnormal breathing patterns, semi-consciousness, or unconsciousness. Severe overdoses can result in a coma or death without immediate medical attention.
Sedation or Stimulation - Stimulating effect of this substance occurs mainly at low to common doses. Opium is known for it stimulating properties the main cause of stimulation is thebaine and other alcaloids present in the sap the levels of stimulating alcaloids can vary between batches thats why sometimes users get stimulated by opium and sometimes sedated .
Euphoria - In comparison to other opioids, this particular substance can be considered similar in its cognitive euphoria when compared with that of morphine or diacetylmorphine (heroin) and more intense when compared to kratom and hydrocodone. The sensation itself can be described as powerful and overwhelming feelings of emotional bliss, contentment, and happiness.
Dysphoria - This effect is mainly caused at very high doses due to thebaine intoxication which can be similar in symptoms to strychnine.
Irritability - While opioids are well known for their ability to improve mood, they can also have the paradoxical effect of increasing the user's sensitivity to irritable stimuli. This can manifest as aloofness and sudden outbursts of anger and aggression (colloquially known as "opiate rage"). It appears to occur more frequently during the comedown of the experience and/or with heavy use.
Internal hallucination - One may experience a state of semi-consciousness and hypnagogia during heavy dosage nodding which results in dream-like states and up to level 3 imagery and mild geometry.
