Praise. Yes. Okay. I have a question. Yes. So how does a flower become a drug? Well with

opium with the opium poppy. Yeah, poppies. Of gods, you know, as a former florist, I'm very

familiar with many of the good Lord's creations and flowers. Dispies almost all of it except

for the poppy. That's... You cut it open, you get the sap. I'm not too entirely familiar with exactly

the step-by-step making of the dope. But I do know that it's the sap of the opium poppy. You cut

it open, you process it somehow. And there's a bunch of different things you can do with it after

that. You can make it into morphine. After that, you can refine it further into heroin.

You can synthesize it, make fake opium, which is... That's what they call opiates or opioids rather.

Wait, what's the difference between opiate and opioid? Opiate is from the earth. It's natural. It's

okay to do. It's just like smoking cannabis. It cannot possibly harm you. Opioids are created in labs

in order to kill you. That sounds bad. That's the big difference to you. Cavemen actually

apparently used. Really? Opium. Well, they were buried alongside the flowers. And you know,

it's... You know how like when you get buried, you usually bring like a couple of your relatives

along. Like you die and then you have a couple of them killed there alongside you. Yeah, I don't

think that's true. Because you love them. Well, that's what they did with the opium flower,

with the poppy. But people have basically used opium or used the poppy in various forms since like,

I think that earliest they found it was like 3,500 years ago for sure. But almost certainly before

then. And like again, like I said, it's buried alongside Neanderthals and everybody was using it.

I feel like crazy Greeks definitely for sure. Absolutely. They were total freaky zoids. Yeah,

Homer talks about this drug called the Penth in the Odyssey, which makes you sleepy and dreamy

and forget everything. You know, people, the Sumerians, like definitely used opium. They called it

whole gill, which means the joy plant. They also called it smack. Which I thought really? No,
