Chinese Restaurant Serves Noodles Laced with Opium Poppy
Hong Kong (CNN) -- The noodles were not just tasty. They were addictive. A Chinese noodle vendor in northern Shaanxi province has been detained for 10 days after admitting he added powdered poppy plant — from which opium is made --- to his dishes to keep customers coming back, Chinese media has reported. The owner said that he bought 4 catty (2kg) of the substance for 600 yuan ($98) in August. He said he added it to his food to make it taste better and to improve his business, the Huashangbao paper reported. The opium-laced noodles came to light after police stopped a vehicle driven by a 26-year-old man and tested him for drugs not long after he had consumed a bowl of the noodles. The man was detained for 15 days on charges of drug abuse and was not released until family members told police how they had also eaten at the same restaurant and tested positive for the drug. The paper said the risk of becoming a drug addict from the laced noodles, even if eaten continuously for a long period of time, was unlikely. It added that lacing food with opium poppy was not uncommon in China, with similar cases in 2010 and 2012. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/24/world/...html?hpt=wo_c2  · |

Re: Chinese Restaurant Serves Noodles Laced with Opium Poppy
They don't go back because they're addicted, they keep going back because they knew there was opium in the food. This isn't a new thing, chinese seem to love opium.  |

Re: Chinese Restaurant Serves Noodles Laced with Opium Poppy
It's not really a big deal. Poppy seeds are very common in bread. To call it 'opium based' is sensationalism at best

Re: Chinese Restaurant Serves Noodles Laced with Opium Poppy
Little story for you; years ago my friends mother had some opium poppies growing in her garden, they grow everywhere in the UK theyre just like a weed. Anyway, my friend, who knows about these kind of things lol decided to try and harvest some of the opium; he made shallow cuts in the seed pod and collected the residue, which is pale at first then dries to a blackish colour. He rolled the collected residue into a ball: yielding a ball around an inch in diameter. Yes, you can smoke it, yes it gets you high lol. The wonders of Mother Nature.  |
