Synopsis

Opium is a highly addictive narcotic drug that comes from the unripened seedpods of the poppy plant. In traditional cultivation methods, the unopened pods of the poppy plant are slit open, and the sap that seeps out dries on the surface of the pod. When it dries, it forms a latex-like substance that is yellowish-brown in color. Opium is most commonly as a black or brown block of tar-like powder, but it can also be found in both liquid and solid forms.
The alkaloids that are present in opium include morphine (which is used to create heroin) and codeine among others. Morphine, the main ingredient found in opium, is the chemical compound most responsible for its’ narcotic effects. Morphine works on the brain by mimicking the effects of neurotransmitters called endorphins. Endorphins are produced by the central nervous system as well as the pituitary gland and are responsible for pain management and creating feelings of calm and well-being.

The History of Opium

The origins of opium date as far back at 3400 B.C. where the poppy plant was first cultivated in Southeast Asia. Referred to by the ancient Sumerians as “the plant of joy” and used for both ritual and medical purposes, the cultivation and use of opium spread to Egyptian and Roman cultures. As word spread about the power of opium, the poppy plant became grown and harvested on a more widespread basis in order to expand the market and decrease its cost. Over time, opium made its’ way through the Silk Road trading route and to China.
In Chinese culture, opium was typically used for recreational purposes, but it didn’t become more widespread until the 17th century when the drug became more accessible and less expensive. The common method of use would involve mixing opium with tobacco and smoking the mixture. As its use became more widespread throughout China, opium addiction starting to become more noticeable. While these effects were being observed, the British was encouraging its use in order to bolster trade between the two countries.
Confiscation of opium by the emperor during the mid-1800’s led to the Opium Wars between the two nations and by this time the opium trade was nationwide and was massed produced for domestic use. Opium use was introduced to the United States with the influx of Chinese immigrants who came to work on the railroad and for the great California Gold Rush. These immigrants brought the practice of smoking opium with them, and when many settled in the Chinatown district of San Francisco, opium dens were established and spread eastward towards New York City.
In the 20th century, opium was prohibited from many countries and its’ regulation would greatly reduce the level of opium use. However, this regulation would also lead to the production of the drug for illicit street purposes. While the majority of poppy production occurs in Central Asia in countries like Afghanistan, Turkey and Pakistan, opium is also grown in countries such as Colombia and Mexico.

How is Opium Administered?

Opium can be administered in a variety of ways. The drug can be smoked, injected intravenously or it can be taken orally in pill form. Opium can also be used in combination with other illicit drugs.  For example, “Black” is the combination opium combined with methamphetamine and marijuana while “Buddha” is the combination of opium and high potency marijuana. Opium can also be incorporated into baked goods and other food items. No matter the method of administration, opium is a highly addictive and dangerous drug that potentially present life-threatening consequences.

The Short-Term Effects of Opium

The short-term effects of using opium are similar to those seen with alcohol, Xanax and barbiturates and can include dehydration and dry mouth and impaired cognitive functioning which can cause users to act impulsively. Other short-term effects can include nausea, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, headaches and respiratory depression. If larger amounts of opium are taken, there is an increased risk of overdose in which the following symptoms can be observed:
  • Respiratory failure
  • Heart failure
  • Stroke
  • Seizures
  • Coma
  • Death

The Long-Term Effects of Opium

The most obvious long-term effect of opium use in the development is the development of tolerance in which the user will need to take more of the drug to produce the desired effect. The increase in tolerance ultimately leads to physical and psychological dependence and addiction. Long-term effects are dependent on how the user administer the drug. For example, those who smoke opium is extremely damaging to the lungs and also leads to heart damage and other cardiovascular-related ailments and diseases.
Smoking opium can also lead to significant and lifelong liver and kidney damage and can also cause renal failure.  Additionally, if the drug is injected or if derivatives of the drug are injected there could be severe damage to the veins and the veins can collapse. If opium is injected with contaminated needles the risk of contracting infectious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV significantly increases. Additionally, contaminated needles can also lead to abscesses of the skin and can result in amputation.

SUMMARY
Bernice Pauahi Bishop had breast cancer, was treated, and used Opium for pain.
Opium use resulted in a need for more.
Opium use made users feel as if their brain was on fire and 
'Led on by the thirst (for opium), they sell their lands, their houses, their clothes....etc.'  see the above 1882 entry.
An easily tampered Will was said to have been signed in October of 1883, yet only a "Seal" was entered. - Issue of suspicious activity.
Bernice Pauahi and Charles Reed Bishop left the islands for San Francisco on May 16, 1884 due to health.
Bernice Pauahi was under stress, duress, usurpation, coercion, intimidation by her man loving husband Charles Reed Bishop whose lovers included William Lee, former Judge of the Kingdom of Hawaii, et. als.
Queen Liliuokalani was ridiculed for promoting Opium in Hawaii, yet, Bernice Pauahi Bishop had died in 1884 and Queen Liliuokalani became Sovereign in 1891, seven (7) years after Bernice Pauahi Bishop died.
Under duress, etc., Bernice Pauahi's Will became null and void, the Aliens/ foreigners could never own Alodio lands, Bernice Pauahi Bishop's siblings, stepsiblings, hanai/adopted sibling, and her stepchildren including her hanai/ adopted son existed.
Conspiracies which defrauded the Kamehameha's descendants/heirs are now documented through genealogies, history of premeditation, criminal wrongdoing, piracy, pillaging, etc. 
Legal Notices were sent to the KSBE/Kamehameha Schools/Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estates Trustees and they have failed to respond which means they are Trespassers, and squatters on our Royal Families lands who are part of the Families of Bernice Pauahi Bishop an opium user which shows that she was not in a normal state of mind to read, understand, or sign any matter.
Similar to a Pavlovian experiment, opium held out in front of her in exchange for her signature would easily be gotten.
Reference:  Pavlov said the dogs were demonstrating classical conditioning. He summed it up like this: there's a neutral stimulus (the bell), which by itself will not produce a response, like salivation. There's also a non-neutral or unconditioned stimulus (the food), which will produce an unconditioned response (salivation).Dec 14, 2014

*********
Note:  Place the OPIUM (the stimulus) in front of the patient and it would be received if the (unconditioned stimulus)signatures to the documents were gotten.
Also Note that her Will did Not have a Signature but a "SEAL" is documented.
Research incomplete.
