BTW, opium is morphine-based, and morphine is perfectly legal, and used by hospitals worldwide every day.
Morphine may be "legal" but it is not legally available for public consumption in the U.S. It is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act and can only be prescribed by a licensed physician. Therefore, your implication that morphine = opium in this context is not valid.
