And it makes me wonder. Are such things synthesised for use in legal
opiate drugs (eg., heroin, opium tinctures, morphine and codeine) -
apart from the obvious opiate like substitutes - or do companies buy the
raw ingredients from the Afghani poppy fields?

I've heard that opium poppy is grown commercially in Tasmania.


Bit of a detour for Stonehenge, though. ;-)
