poison

if you want something, just do kratom instead. Trust me.

Personally, I wouldn't even keep them in the house, if you have a history with drug problems. It's only a matter of time before your mind works against you and convinces you to keep drinking it. Opiates are none other when it comes to changing nearly the entire chemistry of the body until its impossible to live without them. Poppies can make this worse since the morphine dose in poppy tea is actually very high, since the oral bioavailability is so low, you will still get all the physical repercussions and side effects from the dose.

Other than that, yeah it is strong medicine. If someone breaks a leg, or falls severely ill, or has bad diarrhea. But that makes a perfectly good excuse to keep them around, which you'll end up regretting.
