Opipods

Being the only legal drug, Opipods is very popular and used by many wealthy citizens worldwide. The Opipod is a easily smokable version of opium. The Opipod is actually consisting of two parts: the Opipen and the actual Opipod. The Opipen is the device itself, it is reusable as the user only needs to change the Opipods when they run empty. The Opipod is the pod at the end of the pen which is the container of the opium. These are screw-on in order to make them easy to change.   While the Opipods are both invented and produced in Wushoogu, Tsaver'Lazu is responsible for 30% of the poppies used in the Opipods. The Opipods is therefore slightly cheaper in Tsaver'Lazu than in other countries, which is the main reason behind Tsaver'Lazu the main consumer-country.

Manufacturing

When ripe, the seed pod of the opium poppy is carefully slit open to let the milky white latex run out. This latex is then collected and transferred to the factory. At the factory, the opium latex is used to make an opium tincture (tinctura opii), which is the diluted to make a solution safe for frequent use.
Access & Availability
The Opipod is widely available and can be bought in many places. The Opipod is however very expensive and therefore mainly used by the wealthy citizens.
Discovery
The idea behind the "machine" came from a nicotine-providing invention used in the Old World, called "cigarettes". The Opipods however, are electronic while the cigarettes were essentially tobacco wrapped in paper. Research had proven that nicotine cause many problems and diseases, which lead to the use of the ancient drug: Opium. Opipods were invented in Wushoogu and has since only been produced there. The country with the most consumers is Tsaver'Lazu, and 30% of the poppies used in the process is actually imported from Tsaver'Lazu.
