From the Back Cover

So you think you can't grow opium poppies because you don't have a patch of dirt in the middle of nowhere? Poppycock. Hydroponic Heroin, by Robert Bunch, reveals how to grow poppies year round without dirt, right in your own home. What's more, you'll learn how to turn that opium into heroin in just three easy steps.

"Hydroponics has never been used with poppies before. This book is significant in that users and would-be users don't have to venture to the bad side of town for heroin that could be bunk," says Robert Bunch, author of Invisible Marijuana and Psychedelic Mushroom Gardens.

The Babylonians used this method in their Hanging Gardens, as did the ancient Chinese, Aztecs and Mayans in their celebrated floating gardens. In this book, you'll learn their secrets as well as the following:
* How to avoid the menacing eyes of infrared detectors and nosy neighbors
* How to combat an overdose
* What size garden is right for you
* How to control your opium - without it controlling you
* How to purchase equipment without arousing suspicion

You'll have no problem finding the equipment, and no problem paying for it either - by the time you're done, your batch of heroin will cost what you would have paid for an ounce of fine marijuana.

Just by reading Hydroponic Heroin, you'll gain all the knowledge you need to become an opium farmer, even if you're a city slicker.

"Sobriety is the most potent drug known to man," says Mr. Bunch. "Escape it often enough and watch your third eye open."

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read but From Another World..., June 2, 2005

By	Ama-i-ka (MD United States) - See all my reviews

This is a well written book with lots of interesting information about growing poppies and home lab drug manufacture in general. What I found amusing is how the author so glibly advocated "stealing" all your supplies. In fact, there was an area of discussion about making poppyseed tea where the author instructs the reader to consider stealing the poppyseeds from the grocery store since otherwise it will cost $35-50!! I got a few laughs, learned quite a bit, and got my money's worth on this out of print book for which I paid $150.00. I certainly don't intend to manufacture heroin, but it was an informative and well written book. It sure took alot of courage to go to press with a book like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ancient eastern desires meet western high technology!, March 26, 1999

"Researched and written by the same brilliant author responsible for 'Invisible Marijuana and Mushroom Gardens', 'Hydroponic Heroin' details a thorough schematic that even a drug-free blackthumb can successfully utilise.

Although the briefest of histories regarding opium and its respective derivatives opens up this manual, all the other aspects are fleshed out so as to include nearly any and all information needed to carry out such an endeavour. The risks of addiction, the indescribable pain pain of kicking the habit, how to obtain without problems the materials required, how to sprout the seeds and care for the plants, how to secure the growing room from the prying eyes and pesky praetorians (the latter of which are perpetually pursuing avenues that offer easy targets by which they justify their measly "careers"), rules and repercussions regarding the risk of possession, dosages, overdose antidotes and so forth.

Learn how to easily make your own heroin, morphine, laudanum, and other opium narcotics with this thin-yet-packed illegal recipe book. I made a batch of opium seed tea the first night I read the book! I wigged hard! Thanx Robert Neil Bunch!
