The brain adapts to the overwhelming surges in dopamine by ultimately producing less dopamine and by reducing the number of dopamine receptors in the reward circuit. As a result, two important physiologic adaptations occur: (1) the addict’s ability to enjoy the things that previously brought pleasure is impaired because of decreased dopamine, and (2) higher and higher doses of the abused drug are needed to achieve the same “high” that occurred when the drug was first used.

  • New Zealand's Emergent Opioid Trends
    New Zealand’s emergent opioid trends - the influences and impacts: Consumer and clinician understanding of New Zealand’s changing patterns of opioid use, availability and impacts Klare Braye A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Health Sciences Department of Psychological Medicine University of Otago, Christchurch New Zealand 2014 “Among the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium”. (Sir Thomas Sydenham, 1680) ~ iii ~ Abstract This thesis explores opioid users and addiction service providers’ understandings of the changing patterns, availability and impacts of opioids and opioid use in New Zealand with a particular focus on the last two decades. Throughout history, the availability of substances of abuse have waxed and waned. Their emergence and availability is influenced by social, legislative and political circumstances. Extensive literature exists related to the use of opioids such as morphine and methadone in New Zealand, and heroin overseas. However, few studies have examined the emerging trends of opioids that are often used as adjunctively to these substances; examples of which in recent years include poppy seed tea (PST), over-the- counter codeine-containing analgesics and most recently some prescribed pain medications. Information regarding the use, availability and impacts of these adjunct opioids from the consumers who use them, and the clinicians who work with these consumers could usefully inform service provision and public policy. This qualitative study, adopting a Husserlian phenomenological philosophy was used, to gain an understanding of the use, access to and implications of these emergent opioid trends.

These dangerous products can contain high levels of morphine, codeine, thebaine, and other opiate alkaloids. The products pose grave health risks, particularly when the opiates are concentrated by brewing large amounts into a “tea.” The apparently increasing threat they pose has been overlooked for too long as a component of the ongoing opioid epidemic in that addicted patients have been known to use these products as substitutes for other opioids. Contaminated poppy seeds and poppy seed pods pose a serious and immediate hazard to consumers.

    Journal name: Open Access Emergency Medicine Article Designation: REVIEW Year: 2018 Volume: 10 Open Access Emergency Medicine Dovepress Running head verso: Caffrey and Lank Running head recto: Legal highs open access to scientific and medical research DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/OAEM.S120120 Open Access Full Text Article REVIEW When good times go bad: managing ‘legal high’ complications in the emergency department Charles R Caffrey Abstract: Patients can use numerous drugs that exist outside of existing regulatory statutes in Patrick M Lank order to get “legal highs.” Legal psychoactive substances represent a challenge to the emergency medicine physician due to the sheer number of available agents, their multiple toxidromes and Department of Emergency Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, presentations, their escaping traditional methods of analysis, and the reluctance of patients to Northwestern University, Chicago, divulge their use of these agents. This paper endeavors to cover a wide variety of “legal highs,” IL, USA or uncontrolled psychoactive substances that may have abuse potential and may result in seri- ous toxicity. These agents include not only some novel psychoactive substances aka “designer drugs,” but also a wide variety of over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and even a household culinary spice. The care of patients in the emergency department who have used “legal high” substances is challenging. Patients may misunderstand the substance they have been exposed to, there are rarely any readily available laboratory confirmatory tests for these substances, and the exact substances being abused may change on a near-daily basis. This review will attempt to group legal agents into expected toxidromes and discuss associated common clinical manifestations and management.

  • Poppy Seed Tea and Opiate Abuse in New Zealand
    Drug and Alcohol Review (March 2007), 26, 215 – 219 BRIEF COMMUNICATION Poppy seed tea and opiate abuse in New Zealand KLARE BRAYE1, THOMAS HARWOOD2, RACHEL INDER1, RICHARD BEASLEY3,4,& GEOFFREY ROBINSON1 1Alcohol and Drug Service, Capital and Coast District Health Board, Wellington, New Zealand, 2Detoxification Unit, Kenepuru Hospital, Porirua, New Zealand, 3Medical Research Institute of New Zealand, Wellington, New Zealand, and 4University of Southampton, Southampton, UK Abstract The opium poppy Papaver somniferum contains an array of opiates. There is a variety of methods of preparation that can be used by people with opiate dependence, with patterns of use determined by numerous factors including cost, safety, potency and legal status. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and nature of poppy seed tea (PST) use by opiate- dependent patients in the form of a written questionnaire. The study took place at the Community Alcohol and Drug Clinic, Wellington, New Zealand, and comprised 24 opiate-dependent patients attending the clinic. A total of 11 of 24 (46%) patients reported having used PST. In five patients currently using PST it represented the major source of opiates, and two had managed to withdraw from use of other opiates with regular PST use. Patients reported a median onset of action of 15 minures and an effect lasting a median of 24 hours. The major limitation of PST use was the foul taste. PST is used commonly by opiate- dependent patients attending an alcohol and drug clinic in New Zealand. The use of PST as the major source of opiates could be considered favourably within ‘harm reduction’ philosophies, because of its low cost, legal availability and oral route of administration.

  • New Trends in Substance Abuse: Opiates and Heroin National CASA 2015
    New Trends in Substance Abuse: Opiates and Heroin National CASA 2015 Lynn Riemer Ron Holmes, MD 720-480-0291 303-985-7149 [email protected] [email protected] www.actondrugs.org SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM Substance abuse is a major public health problem. Abuse/dependence affects approximately 61% of youths age 12-17 years, 38% of young adults age 18-25 and 25% of adults age 26 and over. Nearly half of these young users go on to be adult-users and some become addicts. The transition from recreational use to dependence/addiction can occur at any age. The distinction between recreational drug use and drug dependence is not always clear, but the short-term consequences are the same for both types of users. The use of illicit drugs among American youth is approaching epidemic proportions. The 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) prepared by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that 24.6 million people 12 years or older use illicit drugs. In 2013, 681,000 people used Heroin, with 169,000 using Heroin for the first time, and 517,000 abused and/or were dependent on Heroin. The most disturbing trend, however, is the number of children in foster care who abuse alcohol or drugs. The February 2005 report of the NSDUH compared the rate of alcohol and drug abuse among a random sample of high school students not in foster care and high school students in foster care. The rate of alcohol abuse in both groups was similar (near 19%).

They allow those who suffer from acute or chronic pain conditions to live productive lives, keep jobs, socialize and enjoy their partner. According to most responsible and scientific studies 97-99% of people who are prescribed opioids for acute or chronic pain take them ‘correctly’. The same studies saw an “addiction rate” of ~ 1%. (“More recent” studies have placed the addiction rate at 20-30%. These studies used different criteria for their personal definition of addiction (Not DSM) that was heavily reliant on Physical Dependence and “Aberrant Behaviors”). Sadly, this group of people who suffer painful conditions are not the group that gets the media attention and headlines On the other hand, when these drugs are abused, they can cause serious Px in all parts of a person’s life.

It was suspected that the decedents ingested lethal amounts of morphine from home-brewed poppy seed tea. No stud- ies to date have investigated opium alkaloid content extracted from poppy seeds by home-brewing methods. Various poppy seed products were purchased from online sources and extracted with four home-brewing methods representative of recipes found on drug user forums. Morphine, codeine, and thebaine were quantified in the tea extracts by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using a validated analytical method.

  • Tincture Here Is My Most Simple Kitchen Recipe for Making a Pain
    Tincture Here is my most simple kitchen recipe for making a pain relief tincture of un-refined poppy exudate from the unripened seed pods. As to what kind of poppies you use, well that's up to you. I have a small patch of about 10 - 12 fluffy ornamental oriental plants that are all mixed colors, pink, white, orange, red, purple, I don't exactly know what kind they are but they make a satisfactory tincture. They usually will yield enough exudate to make about 2 liquid ounces of finished tincture (approximately 1,000 drops). This tincture is best administered by the drop, sublingually (under the tongue) and allow to absorb through the soft tissue of the mouth, but if necessary the drops may be put into a small amount of juice to be sipped. I can't make any recommendations as to how many drops at a time would be best administered to individuals for their pain, can only say that for myself for acute pain I would use no more than 5 - 7 drops at a time at 6 hour intervals. Things you need: Sharp knife or razor, glass mason jar, 80 proof or 100 proof alcohol (rum, brandy, vodka, everclear), coffee filter, small dark medicine bottle(s) with glass dropper type caps. To collect the exudate wait until 2 or 3 days after all the petals have fallen and while the round pod will still be closed at the top and bright green colored. Keep in mind that not all the flowers are going to mature all at the exact same time so they may keep you busy collecting for a few days.
