Reviews
"A history and how-to guide that's been a fringe top seller." -- Newsweek "This highly readable book fills a knowledge void and will prove valuable and informative to anyone interested in botanical medicine or, of course, opium and the poppies that it comes from." -- Tom Squier, The Spring Lake News "This book is a little treasure, a jewel. It is informative and funny." -- High Times

Synopsis
"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 Pollan First 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., The first edition of Opium for the Masses, published 15 years ago, was an instant phenomenon. Now, with further societal breakdowns on the horizon, it's becoming more important to learn how to create and use home-grown pain medication. The new edition enlarges the book's scope to instruct readers on growing and harvesting methods. It also includes extensive background information on the history of opium, showing how it was once praised as a useful medication, only to later become demonised.
