MARCY PLAYGROUND - Poppies

[scenekiddswetthebed]

I would like to recognize the amazing people that invented drugs, my heart goes out to you, LONG LIVE STONERS =)

[tuollaf]

@ shastaorange - you must not understand the difference between natural human chemicals and drugs. do a little research before making yourself a fool.

[Guitarscreech06]

Did you get a good grade for this?

[Trackur]

they weren't "Put" on earth, they evolved on earth. Along with medicinal plants that you consume without a problem if you were sick. So commenting on the moral use of a naturally occuring drug, doesn't make much sense.

[machevelli0true]

dear cock of the north,

i am a "junkie retard", however i am a completely efficient member of society. im a collage gradute that makes 80,000 a year with a few vices that others dont aprove of. so before you make ignorant comments consider the fact that the drugs addicts you hear about fail at life. there is an uncountable number that lead normal lives. so mind your own business.

p.s.

fuck you

p.p.s.

mr.superuser you are obviously wiccan or hold some of their belifes. i commend you friend.

[machevelli0true]

dear cock of the north,

i happen to be a "junkie retard" however i am a completely efficient part of society. i go to work every day, pay my taxes and vote. im a collage graduate who makes 80,000 a year. so before you make ignorant statments about me and my ilk think about the fact that the only drug adicts you ever hear about are the ones who have failed at life. there are more of us than you could count living everyday lives.

p.s.

fuck you

[jeremynoey]

i would like to know where they found some of those maps....

[3dumpsterbabies]

love this song but not as much as i love poppy

[sligknot555666]

You know, not to pick sides or anything, Im sure god was a stoner. Theres proof all over.

1.he had long hair

2.he hade the look on his face

3.He was all "woot peace to the world man,got to get me another joint from st.John......" Now there is some of the proof.

[tjkillaz]

Just because it is natural doesn't mean it is okay to consume. Just like Poisonous mushrooms. They are natural but can be deadly to humans. Plants use special techniques to keep other animals from consuming them. So these plant that get us "high" have not been put on earth to get us "high".

[primalsincerity84]

i love poisonous mushrooms

[XfireXwaterXburnX]

how do you know its a defense mechanism and not an antidote?

[ShastaOrange]

If we weren't supposed to be using opiates on humans, someone should tell literally every hospital and every family doctor in the world, because millions of them are prescribed every day.

Also, our bodies produce their own drugs that work in the same way as opiates. Look up endorphins.

[CynicPhilosopher]

you guy's make me laugh, of course junkies suck, and drugs are fucking amazing, as long as there are drugs, there will be drug abusers. without trying to sound like an old man, anything can ruin lives if it's allowed to get out of control, that being said i'm not going to stop using just because a large percentage of people (idiots) can't manage their junk.. society's drug problem isn't my problem, i happen to have something called a brain and with said brain can exercise some self control..

[chunkeymonkey1234560]

he kinda sounds like kurt cobain

[otterriverOWNS]

they make opium sound good =)

sorry heroine addicts but STONERS RULE!

[otterriverOWNS]

they make opium sound good... lol

sorry heroine addicts but STONERS RULE!

[MrSUPERUSER]

Poppies are the source of all opiates, heroin, morphine, etc, and are here for us to use or abuse as much as the individual sees fit, just like cannabis and cocaine. Evolution created these things for a reason, and it wasn't to ignore them. Drugs are cool, all of them, they all have a different effect and a purpose for their existence. Not all drugs are bad, some save lives. Disagree and you're goin to hell... if that joint exists. Do what you like just don't harm others, or yourself.

[NewSlang94]

'disagree and you're going to hell?'

sounding a bit like a cult leader there.

[TheClique86]

thanks hippie dad

[cockofthenorth]

I'm pretty sure opiates did not evolve for the purpose of turning people into complete fucking junkie retards, and that's essentially what most opiate abusers are: fucking disgusting, disease spreading, welfare dependent, useless retard cunts. The negative effect of illicit drug use on society is immeasurable.

[mgeisel1]

That's the biggest bunch of nonsense that I've ever heard. There are plenty of opiate addicts that are responsible working citizens despite the fact that they are discriminated against simply for being drug users. There is a high population of opiate addicts in construction industry. These are the people that build the places you work and live in. In fact, if it weren't for painkilling drugs like marijuana and opiates, much of America as we know it wouldn't exist. Fact - Drugs Built America!!!

[foursticks1]

I don't have any numbers to back me up here, but I would guess most opiate abusers are actually people eating too many painkillers, which they have for a legit reason.

[dorkscrew]

were all fucked, i dont use these drugs. But ppl who do serve you your fucking mcnuggets

[tophatsaremagic]

That's not even remotely true. You don't even notice the vast majority of opium users, because they don't make it the center of there lives. You only notice the ones who would have been piece of shit failures with or without the drugs.

[dudeop3]

fuc that man

most of them

who live on the streets are like that

[WillEhum1]

Hay cocaine morphine heroin are made with chemicals, they are not evolution or whatever you said, so this argument isnt even sound. if you would have said that for cocaou (the plant that people use to make cocaine) or marijuana then you have an argument, but not for the drugs you listed.

plus even with evolution therory. I want you to roll in a pile of poison ivy/oak/sumac. Then go eat some poisonous berries, if you come out of that feeling better than before then you got me your right im wrong

[Intelligo]

@MrSUPERUSER ...your argument boils down to "if I can, I should".

Which is wrong.

[jdjeepster]

@MrSUPERUSER Youre obviously mis-informed. You lack any and all sensible judgement... I can tell you use lol!

By the way if you mention evolution first.... then refer to hell, you must believe in heaven too.... that leads me to beleive you also think theres a god and the devil... then you must beleive in creation??? Which is it!

[naturalenergy2]

Man, you can't say that by not liking drugs you are going to hell.

Not that such a place truly does exist.

Drug use should be an individual decision, we shouldn't be bullied into using drugs.

I personally use drugs for spiritual and psychological purposes and I don't see how this would affect any other human. What I do is my business. And everyone else is entitled to theirs as well.

[primalsincerity84]

So everybody could smile one more time "

[WhenYouLoose]

I googled man cat opium and it was the first picture under images.

[yomama81294]

lol wat u get on the project

[birchtree79]

Oopiumia.

[dtmbcorp]

I must have that photograph of the chinese man in the opium den holding his cat.

[nerdNugget]

i would send it to you, but i made this video about three years ago, and since then my computer has crashed a few times times... so, you know... i can't really send this picture because i don't have it anymore...

[YouDidntdoAnything]

just take a screenshot of it. if you cant i can.

[Plixitypl0x]

this song makes me emo

[dadasorin]

Impressive...Very Beautiful...

[dtmbcorp]

Hey man, could you please send me that picture of the guy in the opium den holding his cat? I can't find it myself, and absolutely love the photo. Thanks brother.

[dtmbcorp]

Yay for poppies!

[grkr]

Great job on the video.

[anko8aug]

it was not a story or fairt tails it really happen.

[anko8aug]

it was not a fairy tails it really happen england poison china with opium and rule lots of counties.

[Lazyimperial]

That they did, but they also fixed their trade deficit didn't they? Now if only we yanks could get the Chinese hooked on potato chips and anti-depressants. Then we'd be set. :P

[panterita8]

haha so true man...

[HSALogic]

poppies, you say?

[33steven33]

long longg agoo in china im toldd

[imjus1rockinout2]

Brings back memories... I remember when I tried opium hahahahah! Shits gr8

[angorakitten]

in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight im sorry i relly hate these things :'(

[SowRoll]

Fuck This Shit. I HATE these things!!!! Hey I'll message you tomorrow when i aint dead

[johannhh]

lol

[systmofadown676]

Angorakitten- Fail.

[589216001]

yeah im fucking sick of this shit. Stop these fucking stupid messages.

[ABgarden]

Im sick of this shit where one person is like ( OMG I DONT LIKE THIS) and then 7 other people reply with (OMG IM A CONFORM AND HATE THIS ALSO) dude one person already said it...let it go...

[Schlepp420]

just because someone agrees with someone else doesnt make them a conformist. its your own opinion. now, fags who disagree with someone just to be a non-conformist are pretty queer.

besides, conformism isnt a positive state unless you just plan to disagree with everyone because your a dick. :)

[melgrunge92]

he has a song called poppies refering to opaites eg. herrion, morphine he also has a song called opium and in this songs the lyrics say Mom...mom Mom...mom I'm so happy So happy I'm in heaven Yeah heaven Oh the seizures come from opium. it has come to my attenion he may of had a small problem with opiates. But then again what 90's grunge band didnt have there run in with herion/ drugs/alcoism at one point or another Anyway to the point i perfer the song opium

[peroxideh2o2]

it's "the season's come for opium"

[bxymox]

What you don't show in this video, is the guy coming off "poppies" who's puking his guts out and shitting everwhere violently. Hahaha.

[melgrunge92]

Sorry bxymox i meant to give you the thumbs up

i truley beleave that is true plus they have another song called opium

[rp1809]

very nicely done!

[hondarider225]

whats poppies??

[porscheowner6]

poppies are plants. they are very common in asia... poppies are used in food and medicines but here in america they are used for opiates heroin morphine you know all that good stuff. dont eat to many if you have to take a drug test they will show up as opiates and you will most likely fail

[rp1809]

heroin is ultimetly is converted to morphine in the human body.

[Kidamneziac]

so is codeine up to 30%...but strangely Oxycodone which is derived from codeine does not show up on standard drug tests, something to do with its conversion in the liver, where unlike most opiates it does not convert.

[TexasTechStudent]

oxycodone is thebaine derived

[dustinmullen1]

comment fail

[FierceSwitters]

An amazing plant.

It can be used to create Heroin, or at least, a particular genus of.

or, they are protected under law in California.

Or, they look awesome in your yard.

[rp1809]

Well poppies could mean a wide range of the family of Papaver. But this song is particularlly speaking of the opium poppy the most common variety being P. Somniferum or Papaver Somniferum. there are a few different varieties of P. Somnferum, the P somniferum is most widely used for the production of opium and then morphine and to heroin.

Heroin IS MORPHINE that has been acetylated via acetic anhydride. Heroin is known as diacetyl-morphine or Diamorphine for short.

[rp1809]

Poppies are a name for the Papaver species a flower. This song is talking about the Opium poppy in particular called P. somniferum or Papaver Somniferum. The opium poppy is harvested for its latex which contains the narcotics morphine and codeine. Morphine is converted to heroin. Heroin IS MORPHINE that has been acetylated with acetic anhydride. it is called Diacetyl-morphine or diamorphine the main difference is heroin is crosses the blood braind barrier 6x fster than morphine.

[fingermouse81]

thanks for the science lesson,good bit of copying and pasting there,just enjoy the god dam song,its 2 fucking good to be chatting shit for

[Neverdomo]

great marcy!! never in the shade

[ncsponger]

Long live Papaver Somniferum.

[TheGrammarCorrector]

one of my favorite guitar riffs

[dogchewtoyboy]

there was once a time when instead of walking through a fake reality of billboards we had a real world full of plants and choices

[yvettefoto]

I'm in a bit of an opium war myself. Do you know how much people try to sell their oxy's for?! Holy shit! From the war for drugs to the war against (other people being able to sell them first).

[LadyDiazepam]

Well done! Hope the teacher gave you an A.

[2bittxgal]

Yeah its obvious the song is about opium wars in the 1800's, but there are some ppl out there that would argue with a fence post even if they knew they were wrong. So end the end does it really matter what the song is about? Its a cute and good song just sit back and enjoy it and quit fussing.

Much love

Mandi

[chemx23]

i totaly agree its hard to enjoy the songs because of the pointless disputes

[sirnathan]

I agree. Marcy Playground didn't leave much room to read between the lines. And as far as why would they write about the opium wars in the 1800's? Maybe the frontman liked history as a kid...

[porscheowner6]

or maybe he did heroin?

[meyster7]

awesome... i love this song... great pictures too

[Chowda22]

my history teacher actually played this in class

[nerdNugget]

we probably had the same teacher than. did you also see a video for "russians love their children too"?

[LilGowWow]

you're a fool sucka! foolish sucka

[tylertjp]

That's a cool vid. That's great that you're bringin Marcy Playground into the classroom!

[thedudeguy27]

i love this song, it makes me sa tho.... :(, long live grunge!!

[boognish75]

this song is about the opium wars in the 1800's and does not condone heroin use or drug use in any way like some of you assholes think

[MIGDHORSE]

is there an echo in here? so... what is the song "opium" by marcy playground about then? oh it must be yet ANOTHER song about the opium wars, right? now why would an american band from the 90's (primetime heroin and opiate abuse era) care so much to write a song about a history lesson? pretty sure it has a deeper meaning than that, buddy. but go ahead and continue your g-rated line of thought.

[cowsgomoo17]

love this song, its about the opium wars in the 1800's if anyone really wants to know what the song is about, it in no way condones heroin use like some of you assholes think.

[ajlovescw]

love the vid- the images all went well w/ the music!

[austinknowles]

fuck heroin...

[zootiehead]

Poppee-yeeeeeeeeees

[zzboyd]

another mp song about drugs

[anguspallux]

ah, but the love affair does go sour... bad fuckin' news that tar, that white stuff.

[MercurialIris]

My favorite MP song.

[pyroqueen3]

ok nerdNugget i have to admit that im insipred by ur name

[cubano2777]

Everyone that like this shit is a dicklicker, cocksucker

[jojojames1995]

and who are you that makes you so much better, or have a better taste..... gandhi?

[jojojames1995]

why dont people say nice things about u on your home page???? hmmmm, i wonder...???

ignorance

[pyroqueen3]

well if loving marcy playground makes me a cocksucker... well then ill happily admit it

[PennyTraition]

If ever a story needed telling-and this does- the story is told perfectly. Just add a little imagination and a pinch of intoxication. Well done and thanks! ( MARCY PLAYGROUND...Need info? me,too, 'Punk' gen.. Let's see if they're as good as this vid,CHECK 'EM! X POPPIES!!

[jsimatov]

opium lol

[enjoi62137]

Yea this song is awesome. Perfect to coincide with pictures and stuff cause it explains the history of poppies nicely. Haha a little after two minutes that dude in what might be an opium den has that cat on him and I used to have this cat that looked just like that that used to get high all the time from Cannabis but a few times Opium and he loved the smell and from Opium especially would have a nice fat nap haha.

[jezzzzkuuhhh]

heroin, yeauh.

[Suppppperwet]

my favorite marcy playgroud song

[smithy9251]

Good song and slide show for it, but as a teacher I'm shocked you would forget to put in citations.... I would give you B because of lack of, dare I say, zero citation.

[nerdNugget]

yeah, I can understand that. actually, the only reason I got the grade I did was because the teacher was very busy with some other work

[LilGowWow]

Really?

"Lack of, dare I say, zero citation?" and you're a teacher?

How can you have a lack of zero citation? If that's the case, he deserves an A since he has a LACK of zero which means he has at least some.

I give you an F for commenting :)

[rebellion67]

.. I LUV IT! .. YEAH!

[PassionStone]

great video, for a historically honest & accurate song. poppies produce morphine & oxycodone, both a gift from God. As a veteran of major surgeries, I say to those who haven't had morphine, that when you need it, there's nothing better. I love morphine.

[ShastaOrange]

That would be morphine and codeine, not oxycodone. The latter is the synthetic opiate found in Oxycontin. It doesn't occur naturally.

[daleviwe]

i know where your comming from passionstone, i've had knee surgeries on both knee's and morphine is a gift from god when you wake up from that surgery and dont feel a thing

[enjoi62137]

Yea but do you still use opiates?

[justinolobo]

back when I was twelve or so this was my favorite Marcy Playground song!! And it's funny thinking back on it, cause I had no idea what he was talking about, until much much later in my life hahaha

Nice vid, and still a great song!

[ENDVash]

...same thing with me accually lol

[enjoi62137]

haha yea me too this was one of the songs by them I used to really like and one day I found it again and was like holy shit the whole song is about Opium haha.

[redrock505]

i want to go to india and search for uh gold......

[asis93]

moi aussi

[nrvslaaftr]

cool. i always wanted to do something like this for this song...good job.

[bretecarmen]

[...from the ground some magic they found.... something far betteeeeeer...] eeeh he he...:P

[decline29]

hhaaa my favorite part too!

[bretecarmen]

[...from the ground some magic they found.... something far betteeeeeer...] eeeh he he...:P

[reaper66689]

kick ass video..really stresses the imperialistic ideals of Britain in attaining wealth by conquering everything in it's path, would have known they would be getting high in the process, lol.

[firetaker25]

They meant it even more so for China and other places in Asia, where there was enforced mandatory opium purchases going on to individuals, by thugs and pushers who were backed up by the government.

[Spiderwebs222000]

Awesome!
