Hi all!
I propose to add a little realism to Space Station 14. One day I got bored, so I decided to ask the botanists to grow some “fun” plant. But they didn’t have any, and I remembered that I had been told that poppies in large quantities have narcotic properties. So I decided to ask them for poppy in the hope that it would work here too. But after I took a bag of the plant, which was completely filled with poppy, and ate the entire contents, nothing happened to me. My character only thought it looked like medicine.
I remembered it now and decided to write about it here.
It’s a small detail, but it will be enjoyable!
Excerpt from a scientific article: “All natural drugs of the opium group are derived from the poppy. Causes a state of euphoria, tranquility, peacefulness. Involved in metabolic processes it leads to fast (sometimes after one or two intakes) occurrence of the strongest mental and physical dependence. It has an extremely destructive effect on the body.”
This was interesting to me… I looked at the ss13 wiki and apparently you could extract morphine from poppies!
I don’t recall if morphine is in ss14 but the short version is that it makes you have slightly faster movement while injured.

Maybe, but it’s morphine, and so I’d like the narcotic effect of poppy in its original state.

I guess they could have it give the space drugs effect after a certain amount of units consumed, I think cannabis does the same thing if I’m not mistaken?

Yes! That’s what I mean!
It would be nice if they added the narcotic effects of poppies after a certain amount was consumed
it would be cool if poppys had a small amount of mindbreaker toxin (and if mindbreaker toxin worked ;-
i was playing hammy ate 25 poppies and died from an OD xD
This is a really old post, but bicaridine is essentially space morphine, as it’s an analgesic that causes asphyxiation when overdosed, and is obtainable from poppies - which is what gives them their medicinal taste. If there’s still a problem here, it’s that taking bic doesn’t feel like taking Space Morphine, because nowadays you have to OD by a fair bit to get the drunken effect.
