There are morphine, codeine, papaverine and other things in poppy plants. Morphine is one of the reasons why poppy has medicinal value, and it is a psychotropic drug.
Poppy is certainly dependent and addictive. So explain why it is addictive here? It's mainly morphine. Morphine mainly acts on opioid receptors in the brain. Morphine has analgesic effect, which is because of opioid receptors. Therefore, morphine can inhibit breathing, narrow pupils, slow intestinal peristalsis, get pleasure, make people feel happy, etc. The direct feeling of the brain is that it is very pleasant after eating morphine, so the brain will spend a small cost to pursue all kinds of pleasure, which is a way for the brain to achieve its goal quickly, and the brain will guide you to pursue this pleasure, which is addiction.
Morphine is also very effective in treating diarrhea. One of the side effects of smoking opium is constipation. This is because there are also opioid receptors in the intestine. Morphine drugs act on opioid receptors in the intestine to inhibit intestinal peristalsis, promote the absorption of water, electrolyte and glucose, and achieve antidiarrheal effect.
some foods will be added, but the content is not high, but it is exciting enough. Why is delicious food delicious? Color, smell and taste can give you a pleasant feeling. When you eat it, it will give you pleasure, and your brain will think that this is delicious food. The food added with morphine can directly produce pleasure, and because the content is not very high, the brain can't tell whether it is the pleasure brought by morphine or the pleasure brought by the food itself, so it will make a simple addition and count the pleasure of morphine in the pleasure brought by food. In the brain, the food is more delicious.
I think your's brain has reached the same result after eating any food with opium poppy. The brain can't directly identify opium poppy, so it counts pleasure in the taste of the food, which makes it more pleasant to eat and the food more delicious. We will identify this food in the future.
