Tonight, for writing purposes, I have been googling information on what happens when you smoke opium.
This goes onto a list including items like “once looked up how to transport firearms to Hungary” and “published a story in an anthology called Glorifying Terrorism” that I’m pretty sure have me on an FBI watch list somewhere. Writers: we’re suspicious types, always curious about how to commit crimes.
*cough*You could call me.*cough*
The pov character is not the one smoking it — but if at some point I need first-hand experiences, I’ll keep you in mind. 🙂
Danke. I have to put my skills to use somehow.

One of the many things I like about that show.
Yeah, I’ve thought about trying to get hold of some of it.
I recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Opium-Portrait-Heavenly-Barbara-Hodgson/dp/081182411X
Thanks! I probably don’t need it for this instance (which is just a bit of window-dressing for the scene), but I’ll keep it in mind in case I need to know more in the future.
I was given opium once without my knowledge. If you want some data on the experience, you know where to find me.

I’m assuming “without your knowledge” =/= “by accident,” since I have a hard time seeing how that could happen by accident. But still. o_O
It was not by accident.
Join me and my parents on the FBI list as well. After all when your parents are middle-aged flower children who have Black Panther members over for lunch, well, you are so suspect. 😉

My uncle works in the Pentagon. I’m sure my name is going to cross his desk at some point in time–I hope I’m at least worthy of a spittake! 🙂
In all honesty, it might be arrogance to think I’ve done anything that’s caught their attention — but if I have, Glorifying Terrorism was probably it.
