How is poppy plant made into Opium?

Answer:
Well basically when the red petals of the plant fall off the green bulb of the plant remains. You make a small shallow cut all around the bulb and a white latex substance will come out and start to dry and in 3-6 hours a yellow Brown substance is formed which can then be scraped off the bulb. This is opium in its most basic form. Please do not use this for any illegal purposes.
