Abstract

The mean aim of this study is poppy plant with two important compounds of that poppy seed and opium which those are produced and used by people of world especially in a poor country like Afghanistan, the poppy seed used in bakery products, in pastry filling in deserts and the production of edible oil, also opium used as a drug. These contain morphine, thebaine, papaverine, codeine and narcotic which 20%, 1%,1%, (5-8)% respectively. According to, Bozan, B., & Temelli, F. the proximate analysis of poppy seed shown the low content of moisture that is 5.3%, high content of crude fat 49.9% also it has ash, carbohydrate, and crude protein by parentage of 5.1%, 18.3%, and 21.6% respectively. As well as they include practically all essential amino acids, except for tryptophan, and are high in oil, carbs, calcium, and proteins. Poppyseed and opium as used for increasing the economic situation of the government of Afghanistan while surveys by (UNODC) from 2000 to 2020 in metric tons per year, the production of poppy seed increase from 3200 to 8200. The risk of addiction to opium smoking appears to be slightly lower than that of parenteral heroin use, but significantly higher than that of alcohol. Even in countries where its use is common, opium smoking poses significant health and social risks.
