 Opium Poppy - This opium poppy shows an unripe seed capsule with a mature flower in
the background. The opium itself is collected after all the flower petals have fallen off. Slits are
made down the length of the seed capsule, allowing the milky latex to ooze out and harden. After
the plastic, gummy opium is removed, it can be refined into heroin, morphine, and codeine—all
habit-forming analgesics. Opium is used as a sedative and painkiller in terminal conditions.
 Coca Plant
The coca plant, Erythroxylon coca, produces leaves that contain the chemical alkaloid cocaine and other similar derivatives.
Originally isolated in 1855, cocaine was first used as a local anaesthetic in minor surgery. However, as the addictive nature of
this drug became known, other non-habit-forming drugs replaced cocaine as an anaesthetic. Currently cocaine is listed as a
narcotic and is illegally imported to the United States from South America and Asia. Cocaine may cause death even when
used in small amounts or by first-time users. Regular use causes strong psychological dependency.

leaves of the tobacco plant
“nicotiana tobacu” which

(Romans 3:23), “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God.”
(Romans 3:10), “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one.”
• B - BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Acts 16:31), “And they said, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
• C - CONFESS YOUR SINS TO GOD AND CALL UPON HIS NAME
(Romans 10:9), “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.”
(Romans 10:13), “ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.”

• D - DECIDE NOW (YES OR NO)

(2 Corinthians 6:2), “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and
in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.”
