'''Opium''' is a narcotic drug in the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol]]. It is legal on [[Caprica (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'''".

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]]").

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]]").

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]]").

==Notes==
*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.
