Poppy powder, often referred to as “dode,” is a powdered substance derived from the opium poppy plant, Papaver somniferum. It is typically made by grinding poppy seeds, pods, or dried latex (opium) into a fine powder. The powder can contain varying levels of alkaloids, such as morphine and codeine, which are naturally present in the opium poppy.
In some regions, poppy powder is used for various traditional purposes, including as a food ingredient (in small amounts) or as a mild sedative. However, when the powder is derived from the opium latex, it can have psychoactive effects and is considered illegal in many places due to its potential for abuse and addiction.
