Polish soup
Polish soup (also: Polish broth , Polish sauce , Polish heroin , Polski Kompot ) is a dark brown, morphine-containing liquid that is obtained by boiling poppy seed capsules or poppy plant parts in a solvent and then acetylating them with acetic anhydride . A blue poppy variety native to Poland is used for production. Cultivation has now been banned in Poland .
The drug was developed by a Gdansk chemistry student as early as 1975. The recipe came to Warsaw in 1976, from where the drug first spread in Poland under the name of Gdansk Heroin .
When the brew is sold, it is usually already drawn up in syringes. The price is below that of heroin . The active ingredient is monoacetylmorphine (precursor of heroin). The consumption leads to the development of intoxication and has the same toxic effects as heroin. A particular danger arises from the fact that the active substance content of the consumption unit is not known.
