The opium-laced breastmilk - is it really enough to continue the addiction?
I'd think those babies would be going through withdrawal and it's the use of
opium in tea (or other direct-ingestion/intake methods) that fuels the
addiction.
I'm beginning to become quite frustrated at the portrayal of breastmilk as
poison.
