The dried latex. Well, you know, I'm not sure if there's something else done to it or not. I've only had the chance to smoke actual opium a couple of times, and I didn't ask what was involved in the process. This was with the friend who was growing it.
Saltwater seems stupid. It seems like it would not only pass right through your stomach instead of coating it like milk, but further dehydrate you once you start drinking. I wouldn't even try it.
As far as opium helping you sleep, also dumb. Pain medications, or most of them, are opiates. That's why they knock people the fuck out, make them 'feel good' and have such an addictive quality. If you're having trouble sleeping try taking melatonin or smoking a small amount of pot. I know you're afraid of pot, but one of its benefits is making most people a bit drowsy and keeping them asleep once they go down for the count. Don't fuck around with opium/opiates because you can't sleep. Bad news, that.

But what if it's just one cap?
My dad says that in Romania, they'd just add one cap of poppy to the tea and it would make them sleep nicely...
Anyway what about Laudanum? Ever tried that?
Right now I use Valerian to help me sleep... it works ok, but only as a form of induction. Like if I let it work, it will work. If I don't, the effect goes away.
