'''Opium''' is a narcotic drug in the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol]].  It is legal on {{RDM|Caprica}} in the years leading up to the [[Cylon War]].  Bars such as the [[Dive Bar]] in [[Caprica City]] provide smokers and offer at least one variety of opium called "'''Purple'''".  
'''Opium''' is a narcotic created from the sap of the opium poppy.


Fifty-eight years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]], Sister [[Clarice Willow]] is a user of Purple, frequently slipping into opium-induced hazes {{CAP|Rebirth}}.  One such haze causes her to "[[Wikipedia:Drunk dialing|drunk-dial]]" [[Amanda Graystone]], however most of the voice message she leaves is cut off, preventing Willow from exposing her unsavory relationship with Graystone's daughter, [[Zoe Graystone|Zoe]]  ([[CAP]]: "[[Gravedancing]]" deleted scene).  After they develop a friendship, Willow takes Amanda Graystone to the Dive Bar where the two women smoke Purple together {{CAP|Ghosts in the Machine}}.
==Opium den==


Despite its legality on Caprica, Willow's family - particularly [[Mar-Beth Willow|Mar-Beth]] and [[Olaf Willow|Olaf]] - are concerned about her use of Purple and Clarice takes steps towards quitting {{CAP|False Labor}}.
An [[w:Opium den|opium den]] is referred to directly by Doctor [[Sherman Cottle]] while talking to [[Cally]] ([[The Ties That Bind]]). Such places were legalized in the decades prior to the [[First Cylon War]] ([[Gravedancing]]).


Decades later, an [[w:Opium den|opium den]] is referred to directly by Doctor [[Sherman Cottle]] while talking to [[Cally Tyrol]] {{TRS|The Ties That Bind}}.
The [[Dive Bar]] is an establishment in pre-Fall [[Caprica City]] that combines a bar and an opium den ([[Rebirth]]).


==Notes==
==External links==
*It is never established whether or not Colonial opium is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Opium poppy|poppy]].  However, considering the existence of [[morpha]], the Colonial equivalent of real-world [[Wikipedia:Morphine|morphine]], it's likely such a correlation exists.
