From the crude solution of [[alkaloids]], a vaporizable waxy product called [[opium]] can be produced by careful filtration and evaporation of the liquid. Smoked alkaloids are faster acting, but have a shorter duration of action and the alkaloids are partly destroyed by the heat. Consuming the solids in a tea or simply swallowing them results in more being absorbed but carries a higher overdose risk if the correct dose is not known. | From the crude solution of [[alkaloids]], a vaporizable waxy product called [[opium]] can be produced by careful filtration and evaporation of the liquid.
