Newest Fad in
Dope Circles
Preparation Wonderfully Akin
to Real Poppy Drug Made
From Local Bean

Such things as neaT-beer. near-but-
ter-the pungent oleo-near-silk anG
near-tobacco are common TO everyday
life, but near-opium appears TO be the
latest fad among local indulgers in
the poppy drug. =..@ ~.
Near-opium has Just been discover
ed in federal court circles, and Mar
shal J. j. Smiddy has a big can Of the
substance TO prove its existence. 1t
is a thick, pasty material. lighter in
color than pure opium and of a diff
ferent consistency. But touch a light
ed match to it and it flares and bub-
bles and boils like the original article,
giving off an odor that is identical to
the aroma of Hongkong No. / opium.
Untouched by fire it smells like the
poppy drug, and Marshal Smiddy says
it can be rolled into pill on the
end of needle and smoked in an
opium pipe like the regular dope. :"
The effects of the near-opium on
the smoker, he adds. are as soothing
and satisfying as the real article, al
Though this ewly-discoyered prepa-
ration is not AS strong.
NHerc is the secret of the substitute:
1t is made from a bean which, the
marshal has been informed, grows
wild in the mountains in Hawaii. Aft
er being gathered the beans are
pounded up and boiled in some liquid
until the sticky mass, having a con-
sisteney somewhat akin to real
opium, is obtained. The marshal ex-
poets to have some of these beans in
a few days. as Lau Wau, federal
court messenger, has promised to Sc
cure some.
Marshal Smiddy's can of near-opium
was obtained by him in q recent raid
at plantation camp.
So far as is known. there is no law
prohibiting the transportation, pos.
session, smoking, buying or selling of
this preparation.
