- Abstract
The article discusses a study that examined the perceived weight units of reported opium use in Iran and compared them to the standardized units of weight measurement. Highlights include the use of a Play-Doh-like material to show the amount of opium used by study participants, the link between smoking and oral ingestion of opium and higher risk of several diseases, and the frequency of reported units of opium and their corresponding estimated mass in grams.
