"Contrary to general belief, there is no federal law against growing P. somniferum."—Martha Stewart Living"Regarded as 'God's own medicine,' preparations of opium were as common in the Victorian medicine cabinet as aspirin is in ours. As late as 1915, pamphlets issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture were still mentioning opium poppies as a good cash crop for northern farmers. Well into this century, Russian, Greek, and Arab immigrants in America have used poppy-head tea as a mild sedative and a remedy for headaches, muscle pain, cough, and diarrhea. During the Civil War, gardeners in the South were encouraged to plant opium for the war effort, in order to ensure a supply of painkillers for the Confederate Army. What Hogshire has done is to excavate this vernacular knowledge and then publish it to the world—in how-to form, with recipes."— Michael PollanFirst published fifteen years ago, Opium for the Masses instantly became a national phenomenon. Michael Pollan wrote a lengthy feature ("Opium, made easy") about Jim Hogshire in Harper’s Magazine, amazed that the common plant, P. somniferum, or opium poppies, which grows wild in many states and is available at crafts and hobby stores and nurseries, could also be made into a drinkable tea that acts in a way similar to codeine or Vicodin.With Opium for the Masses as their guide, Americans can learn how to supplement their own medicine chest with natural and legal pain medicine, without costly and difficult trips to the doctor and pharmacy.

This book really shows its age. In 1994 this would probably have been an indispensable book for the alternative opiate user/cultivator, but in 2017 it, in the age of erowid, dark markets, bulk online shipping, and pubmed, it reads more like a collection of junkie-mythology and old wives tales. Not that there’s nothing valuable here—the sections on cultivation and poppy history are informative, if redundant and circumscribed compared to contemporary resources—it’s that the value is hidden among heaps dated, and in some cases outright wrong, information. If you know your way around the opiate scene as lot of the tricks and tips will seem old-hat or down right antiquated in the way they embrace the wisdom of the drug rumor-mill with respect to things like potentiation, enzyme inhibition, extraction, and RoA. The author does try to sight sources and studies whenever possible, especially when dealing with numbers, but their scope and number reflect a level of access and dissemination to scholarly research that is limited by the era in which it was written.If you are looking for definitive information or guidance on the poppy plant and it’s uses you will do better to look elsewhere. If you are looking for a cogent, in depth history of opium cultivation and production you won’t find it here. Rather this book will give you insight into a bygone era of the opiate and counter cultural scene, as well as some interesting factoids and assays you won’t find elsewhere.
