Exploring the World of Plants and Fungi
Your confusion of the opiate vs opioid is actually a fundamental flaw in this video- the current problem is with completely synthetic opioids, natural herbal opiates are often much more helpful than they are dangerous when administered appropriately. Analgesia is not a sin, pain relief is a vital part of medicine.
I wish I could give your comment more likes! 😢🤓🍻
You actually got closer to the root of the problem than anyone else.
Yeah this video is a fail. It also doesn't mention that the opiod crisis was deliberately created by greedy pharma corporations who heavily pushed the most dangerous substances like fentanyl. Also the video doesn't mention that harm reduction is the scientifically proven way to deal with addicts instead of criminalising them and that the war on drugs was started by Ronald Reagan to target poor people, black people, leftists, hippies and basically his political opponents.
Keep liking this comment, folks!!!
When did anyone say analgesia was a sin or not a vital part of medicine? Doesn't change the fact that opiates can be addictive and habit forming, like a ton of things
Synthetic opioids are also more helpful than dangerous when administered properly…
Blue poppy seeds are highly sought after for artisanal baking purposes. The cold pressed oil from poppy seeds is also highly sought after by artists into oil painting.
Simon says.... And he is correct.
Blue poppy seeds are also highly sought after by me, to make opium tea 😊😊
The poppy seeds from the grocery store are opium poppy seeds. Plant them in the fall.
I always thought it was funny when Dorothy "fell asleep" in the field of poppies but then was rejuvenated by a bit of "snow"
Lol
True enough
Yeah. And if you think New York City is someplace you would like to visit but wouldn't want to live...
Not-so-fun fact: The “snow” in that scene of the movie was actually 100% asbestos. Almost all of the crew in there got some form of cancer later on, most likely from exposure to the asbestos.
@@AutumnF
True, and not necessarily from that specific exposure. It was common practice to use asbestos for special effects snow. Many of that crew and others were repeatedly exposed to it during their careers in film. Also, the death count was much higher because the clean up crews, the delivery crews, the disposal crews, and the landfill personnel, AND their families were all exposed because it stuck to their clothes.
As you said, not so fun.
✌️❤️
In the U.S. In my observations, the potato has been the most addicting plant. Especially fried and covered in salt.😜
Funny guy, you are right abt that😂
I like some meat, cheese, salsa, on my fries.😂😂😂😂
thats why they becoming like potato
*laughs in Irish
Oh dear .. yes of course and that bad evil butter
They grow naturally in a lot of places in Germany, still today. As children we always harvested the seeds, either to eat directly or to bake bread or kake. We knew their use as painkiller and addictive drug, we were educated about drugs and drug addiction from very early age. So we always only had interest in the nice tasting seeds.
Can confirm as a fellow german, he had them in our garden to have the seeds on hand for bread.
I thought it was also illegal to grow these...
@@leogama3422 they grow naturally everywhere in the wild.
@@ProjectPhysX You can get high only on special variety which is very rare in the wild. Don't ask how i know.
@@leogama3422 Nothing illegal to grow if it is a food quality breed, that are contains so much alcaloid that you need to consume more than 10 kilogram of seed to get the same effect as you think about it.
Poppy seed bread is sooo nice, as someone from Czech republic where the seeds are a popular ingredient in sweet foods.
It's cool to know more about the plant... and this does explain the drowsiness cartoon characters seem to get from poppies.
Imagine some poor bastard eating one of these plants in like the 1800s with no knowledge about it and basically eating the first ingredient in heroin😂
It's crazy that something so essential in modern medicine and helping people can be such a major problem as well. These little flowers really do have the power to save a life, or take it.
Too much of anything can be bad for you.
You can say that again.
It's unfortune that opioid abuse is such a common problem.
@@madamsamoyed5732 It's not. Heroin and Fentanyl abuse is. Opium is a safe alternative that almost no one has used for 100 years.
@@KratomFlavoredAdidas Right, I meant to say "opioid". I've corrected it. Thank you.
When I was little, my grandmother had poppies at her garden. They lasted for a couple months because whenever the flowers bloomed, they suddenly disappeared. She would say to me that people used them to get high. That was the first time I learnt about plants and their flowers as medicine or drugs.
Lol and i stolen some.
There used to be an old lady in our small countryside town who always had those in her garden. They always suspiciously disappeared all at once too once the flower was out of bloom.
Little old ladies like to use the dried pods in flower arrangements and as decorations....and to make a narcotic tea to help them sleep.
Damn thieves, must of been dude looking for a bouquet of flowers for their girlfriend
Percs prob to expensive for her chronic pain at cvs
@sadhu7191 if you could get them to fill your prescription
@@sadhu7191 the problem is finding a doctor who will prescribe them to you. and in america thats hard. when you need them and want them not a single doctor will prescribe, but the moment you are not in any pain and have a small medical inconvieniece then they want to prescribe you hundreds of em a month.
In Hungary until 2004 it was common that people grow poppy ('mák') at hom gardens. Mostly to take the seeds out of pods to add to cakes. However a few junkies made a special brew to get high, in a country mostly alcoholics it was a harmless crop. Actually poppy seed is similarly part of our national identity as paprika.
You should talk about rhubarb and related plants. It’s one of my favourite vegetables from the garden and is related to buckwheat. It’s stem is safe to eat, but it’s leaves are slightly toxic and people have died eating the leaves in times of food shortage.
I always loved my grandmom's rhubarb pie, with rhubarb right from her garden.. I knew from an early age that while the stems were great, to not touch the leaves.
Rhubarb being related to buckweat is the sort of delightful surprise that makes plants infinitely facinating for me. Thank you Joseph.
Would they grow in tropical areas?
Rhubarb is so underrated, I love it, especially rhubarb pie, and will occasionally eat a raw stem. They're a little too bitter for most people when raw but I kind of like it, it's got a very unique flavor and bitterness.
@@nunyabiznes33 Probably? They grow like weeds in damp, shaded areas with rich soil.
This plant is a miracle to those living in rural areas without hospitals. Locals will smoke some before medical/dental procedures in Vietnam and I'm sure other countries as well
It's not even Friday. Why are you doing this to me on a Tuesday? I can't even pick up my pain prescription until tomorrow, lol, just giving ya'll a hard time, I love this channel. Last month, my local pharmacy was all out without any idea when it would be back in stock! I have stage 4 cancer with a tumor growing on my spine. (Please don't wish me a fast recovery because I'm stage 4, forget words like recovery and remission.) Pain is real, and milkweeds are real. We evolved alongside each other for all time. Why is it so bad to let patients have pain relief? As for all the overdoses, I don't blame the plant itself. *Overdose REQUIRES the user to go off script.* It means *that person took more than the prescribed amount ON PURPOSE without consulting their doctor.* Don't demonize the substance, but recognize how we criminalize addicts who deserve to be seen as PEOPLE with an ADDICTION. ADDICTION is a MEDICAL PROBLEM, not a criminal problem!
I really appreciate this comment, wow! And I hope you have a blissful existence wherever you may be 🤗
Have you tried fentanyl?
I hope you can get your medicine without hassle. Obviously, I could never understand exactly what you're going through but as a chronic pain sufferer, I empathize a lot with your perspective.
Hear, hear! I broke my back, was prescribed an imitation, synthetic opioid (Tramidol), it did nothing until combined with gabapentin. Then it worked, sorta. Federal law(and maybe state) required cessation of the "opioids" after 3 weeks and a trial period with something else to avoid addiction. Ie Physical therapy or spinal injections, both of which cost 4-8+ as much. I wasn't in a position to do that. I consumed a lot of alcohol and toted the pain and let my body heal. It seems to have worked but took 2.5 years and am unemployed and not sure about future employment prospects. I'm not going to lie to get a job and in our litigious society now I'm not sure a future employer will want me. 😢🤔🤓🍻
It's extra fun when you're a recovering addict and also have chronic pain. I said to my doctor, "Sir, I haven't abused drugs for a dozen years. I don't even drink. The 'high' I'm seeking is being able to get out of bed." I did not receive pain relief.
It is also one of the most effective pain control methods when not abused… and unfortunately, many pain patients that can benefit from opioids have been denied helpful medicine due to misrepresentation of opioids and opiates by media and even those in the medical and law enforcement industries.
If you visit Turkey, find a pastery and buy "haşhaşlı ekmek" which is bread with poppy seeds; it should look like cinnamon rolls from top. It belongs to city of Afyon (which literally translates "Opium") and it's neighbor city Eskişehir ("Oldcity") but you may find same or similiar tastes in other cities and bakeries. Freshly brewed Turkish tea and poppy seed bread, that's all you need for a meal.
So glad you did a video on this! These flowers are so fascinating in the wild effects they can have on us.
It would be awesome if you could go through all the psychoactive plants - coca plant, tobacco, khat, ephedra, hemp...
Iboga, cacti, poisonous frogs, etc
And most of them, if not all, are rather benign in the natural form. For some reason we tend to isolate the strongest psychoactive components and patent and market the hell out of them. 😢🤔🤓🍻
PS-Or make them illegal. 😢🤓🍻
Yassss I would love this

My grandmother was the parole officer who discovered that poppy seeds could have you fail a drug test after her parole failed but she trusted him and researched everything he ate that day. 😊 Ina Piette she’s alive 93 years young
No she is not. Scientist are the people that figured that out. You know, the guys that invented metabolite tests. The people that supplied your grandma with the test were supposed to tell her about false positives. We have know this as long as tests have been around.
Infact most test dont acknowledge a positve drug result under a certain ppm inorder to prevent false incriminations
High five 🙌 to your grandmother!
They grow here everywhere in my field in Pakistan. We make a natural painkiller from the dried latex called "afeem". It's basically opium.
So interesting!
are there issues with people getting hooked on afeem?
@@zaphenath6756 not that i am aware of. If there was they would gradually move onto more "refined" opioids like heroin etc, which as you know Pakistan and Afghanistan has the most addicts in the world.
I would absolutely love some dried pods! They're so beautiful and hard to get anymore. I have heard of the beauty of Pakistan.
Lao people call it "feem or feen".
This is safer than fentanyl.
In the hands of the general public, absolutely.
That’s not really saying anything at all.
Is opium safer than heroin?
Yes, low doses or Natural kratom is always safer anyway @@MsPedross
@@MsPedrossDepends. Acetylmorphine crosses the BBB much faster with greater potency than regular morphine.
What about a little overview of Datura aka Moonflower. I think it has quite a rich history to talk about.
The fact people still try to eat them is insane. Like it’s a damn delirant
Datura trip reports are entertaining to read.
I [stupidly] ate some pods when I was a young teenager. Ran away from my house and was gone all night. I vividly remember driving to the ocean with my friends, but in reality, my friends never actually met up with me, and I didn't live near the ocean. No clue where I actually went or what I did. My parents heard me climbing through the window early the next morning and took me to the hospital. I don't recommend it
One time. Never again. Not recommended. -10/10
@@zachsh really I ate some seeds 20 but didn't have any issues
I was surprised she used the term "opioid" to refer to compounds derived from the plant. "Opiate" usually refers to plant-derived drugs. "Opioid" refers to something made without the plant being involved at all. It's a blurry line I guess. But the point being, fentanyl is completely synthetic. It is not technically an opiate, but rather an opioid. I know I know, semantics.
I mean wouldn't opioid be actually a blanket term, not exclusive of the original? Ie, anything that acts like an opiate, plant-derived or not?
I don't mind when they are a bit overly general, it would be worse if they called one of the synthetics an opiate.
Completely Wrong.
Opioid: Drug that works on the opioid receptors.
Opiate: Opioid that is made of poppy.
This used to be how they were termed, but now they use opioid as blanket term for all drugs that act on that receptor. But an opiate is still used to say its naturally derived from the opium poppy. Thus Morphine is an opioid and an opiate, but Fentanyl is only an opioid.
Opioids and opiate operate on the same receptors.
Some opioids are only partial agnosts, so there's another distinction to consider
Poppy seeds are quite weak on small quantities so you have to coat a pastry completely to taste them significantly. They taste amazing as a crispy Turkish bagel though, especially steaming hot right out of the oven.
If you could do a video on the Oleander, Yew berry, or the Manchineel tree, That would be awesome! They're pretty poisonous plants and I think they deserve their own videos!
There is already a video on Manchineel. Was fascinating.
Edit, had to add. I wrote my original post not for praise or to be congratulated. The commented wasn't suppose to be about me. No. I wrote for those that ARE addicts, and think THEY can't stop. Original post... "I was an addict. It's not impossible to stop. It just feels like it." ... Also, I'm wrong, I'm still an addict. Right now, it's day three of quitting cigarettes, maybe this is why I'm ready for an argument with anyone about anything at this moment. ...
Congrats on being strong enough!
Sooo true! Surround yourself with caring people is the first step imo
@@i_am_aladeen Thank you. But it wasn't exactly strength. Lots of times I went to quit fully strong, only to fail. It's not just about will power. Also, I did it on my own. The trick, was exactly that. I tricked my own brain. I used myself against myself. It's a long story. We have two brains. One primitive. I just lied to the primitive brain and it bought my story. Oh, I watched a video today that is kinda like what I did. I went to it with a Taoist mindset and I was not strong and rigid, but like water. Water is the most powerful thing, and the most dynamic. Trying to recover with a war like mentality was the one the fail me. Oh, I'm just a You Tube ranter. Go watch video with Dr Gabor Mate'. He is so smart and can help you all.

This is an indigenous plant in Turkey, it grows naturally in the wild, there is even a crity called Opium, and yet people used it for the entire history for medicinal purposes, they even gave it so babies to calm them down, they made teas against sleeping problems. There was no known opium crisis ever. Yet trade of it caused extreme problems other places. A culture naturally developed around it gives people some kind of sense to not abuse it, yet suddenly introducing it causes a lot of problems. Regulating it and exposing the people gradually is the better way to control a substance.
Well said, and useful to understanding.
Nixon came down hard on Turkiye in the early 70's because it was the origin point for Marseille (French connxion) heroin.
@@user-vk7cp1op9p Yes, very well said. Cultural understanding, and the lessons of a culture may be passed on if the government allows the people to learn.
Nicely encapsulated: a lot of history, a variety of uses, and a head full of chemistry!
All rolled up in a nice package- this video of course...
How about a video on euphorbia? Have you done the spurges yet?
Or Syrian Rue, the Acacia tree, or the Boswellia tree, from which Frankincense is derived?
Please talk about the Daffodil sometime in the future. It is interesting.
It only blooms in spring and is actually toxic. But humans use them as decorations everywhere in their yards.
Also I know they grow from bulbs and reproduce that way...but do they ever produce seeds?
Just how did they evolve? What purpose do they serve if they are inedible? Other than being pretty because they are cute

Love your work, and how it’s communicated to the audience.
Keep it up.
Hey small note. As part of my masters work I was involved in testing addiction rates for various plant alkaloids. We were testing new analogs of glaucine and the yellow horned poppy. We also included nicotine, morphine, and caffeine as known compounds.
Nicotine when combined with the Maoi found in tobacco won as most addictive 2 of 3 trials. So pure nicotine is weaker than pure morphine when it comes to causing self administration. But when you use a full plant extract. Tobacco knocks opium wax out pf the park. We had rats vomiting and then instantly going for more tobacco, heaving, more tobacco, heaving, more tobacco. It's scary watching how much pain they are in litterally suffering overdose symptoms and still administrators more depending on the specific alkaloids balance. We also found that depending on the cigarette brand we got the tobacco from there could he way more maoi than normal. Like the cigarette tobacco was bread to be more addictive over time
Absolutely fascinating!
the irony of siggs being legal everywhere 😔
What is Maoi ?
I eat tabacoo and it's very addictive
I smoked cigarettes for 25 years. Quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done. Luckily I make decisions with my future in mind and based on intelligence.
I love your videos! They show how plants really do shape civilization.
Can you do one on zinnias? They have a fascinating history, and I love them so much I named my daughter after them.

So I am confused about how a poppy seed would end up in the urinary tract, I thought urine came from the kidneys, which filtered it out of the blood? How would a poppy seed end up in the blood?
Any substance that contains a kind of drug will cross the blood brain boundary and thus get eventually filtered by liver or kidney....
Opium dens is where the term Pipe 'Dream came from. Anyway, it is amazing that ONE plant on the whole planet can deliver the major pain relief we need. Where would medicine be without it? I googled other pain relief measures. It came back with aspirin, ice, massage, exercise, physical therapy, acupuncture and relaxation training. I bet without this plant, surgeries would drop off by 99%
There are other plants and substances but the humble poppy is probably the most useful. For example marijuana, alcohol, and chloroform have been used for a long time to treat pain.
Do they use it in surgery? I thought they make you unconscious, so no pain killer is needed.
@@joeschmoe21 propofol and fentanyl with the benzo midazolam is typically what is used to "put someone under" they could still do surgeries using ketamine/propofol but afterwards the pain is gonna be pretty bad if you have nothing else to relieve the pain
In my country there is wide cultural base of growing poppy. Slavic people use poppy a lot without any tought of opium (they get drunk a lot though). Poppy is often used with soft pasta dumplings and in cakes. Not bagel with a little pinch on top. More like 40% of whole cake is poppy. It is so tasty...
That’s not completely true that Slavic people use poppies without any thought of opium. Poppies have been widely used as folk medicine in Slavic cultures, but you’re right that they’re primarily used as food source.
@@patrikvavro1611 actually you might be right it was said, that in past old grandmas were giving "green poppy tea" to bad children...

I grew up loving this flower. Nothing screams "SPRING!" like a field of red poppies.
The carti influence is outrageous
I've had a poppy seed false positive on a drug screen from using an everything bagel seasoning that had lots of seeds in it.
Then I made the mistake of paying for a retest of my sample thinking that it would absolve me. Instead it came back positive for codeine and morphine. This was in 2022 btw.
The opium poppy is so essential to humanity that it's almost impossible to get a prescription of opium derived medication 😤 I suffer severe lower back arthritis caused by crushed lumbar discs, as well as bilateral sciatica and doctors look at me like I'm an idiot when I ask for pain relief. So I ended up planting my own poppies in the hopes that I'll never have to see another doctor, regarding my pain, ever again.
Be careful when you do it, mix them together so that it is same strength, start low.
Drink a few sips then a few more.
Just cook black tar and eat its simple
Just buy some heroin then it's dirt cheap in the EU and easier than messing about with docs

AFAIK, in the EU only Poland and Austria allow farmers to grow it and only with a special permit for obvious reasons. However, both countries have a strong cultural bond to that plant and are using it quite heavily in their traditional cuisine. Thus, in other countries of the EU you might only find it in botanical gardens. I knew someone who planted them in Germany, but they got harvested every time by trespassers... (I don't know what they did with it as you can't make the drug that easily, but you could use it like the old Greeks perhaps)
Also in the Czech Republic. Very common
It's also legal in Hungary, too. You don't even need permit as far as you grow it yourself. But of course only for eating.
In Switzerland too. Addicts can get free medical pure heroin in dispensaries, paid by the health insurance. Some take morphine, or methadone.
Drugs are more or less decriminalised, like in Portugal.

These grow in abundance where I live in the seattle, Tacoma area. When you lacerate the seed pods you have to be very careful to not cut to deep into the pod or all the latex will drain into the center of the pod and be impossible to get to. Its true. You definitely can get a dirty UA after eating poppy seeds.
They're the basis of opiate drugs, not opioid drugs.

This plant is in Cape town too but people don't know about it we just love the colours of the flowers
Would be interesting to hear theories about how and why this evolution occurred
Almost certainly as a toxin to deter insects and animals from eating the plant. Ironically, the match with human brain chemistry has assured the plants survival.
Don’t call it “the illicit drug heroin”. The US may have banned its use in medicine (mostly for propagandist reasons), but plenty of countries still allow its very licit use as a prescribed painkiller.

Poppies get a bad rap. Its BS!
Regular users can live a reasonably long life as long as they avoid overdose. Most of the harm arises due to its illegality.
110% correct I'm on the bupe program and it's much worse for me health wise than pure heroin

As a chronic pain sufferer this is my most favourite plant
This fails to mention the important fact that a lot of heroin/opioid addicts are chronic pain sufferers. It's a beacon of hope when all other treatments have failed. But, as someone with chronic nerve pain, I avoid opioids like the plague. Yes, they're the only pain relievers that work for me, but I KNOW that means I'm at an extremely high risk of addiction. I've heard of a new, equally powerful but non-addictive pain reliever derived from cone snail venom. I'm putting a lot of hope into that medicine. I want my life back.
True. Addiction sucks...but sometimes the original ailment is just as bad, if not worst. Unfortunately.
I don't see that it matters if your addicted if it is giving the pain relief needed, what's the difference between being dependant or addicted if your going to take it regularly? I have major spinal issues and was prescribed an opioid to allow me to continue working for 27yrs.
You should do Dioscorea bulbifera. The infamous air potato that as the cultivated varieties have the potential to change the world as a perennial carbohydrate, and the wild variety is a vigorous toxic novel species
Poppy seeds are very contaminated. I used to buy unwashed poppy seeds online off of Amazon and eBay legally to and wash and strain them like 5 times. Then you basically have morphine tea. Only bad part is you can’t never figure out the dosage of each wash but it was potent
The ancient Mesopotamians worshiped the Poppy Goddess. Kind of makes you wonder what state of mind they were in when they wrote the Bible.
Addictive. Addictive!!
Addiction is not caused by a substance. It is caused by how a user interacts with that substance. That’s the reason some people become alcoholics and some don’t.

Are they illegal to grow in the US?
It's legal to buy seeds but the minute you put it in soil it's illegal.
Alternatively, the US has its own native Poppy plant, the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica). A person cannot pick them if its not from their own property, the person can serve jail time and a fine.
Amapolas are delicate and beautiful flowers. Had them in my mother’s garden growing up
