Have you ever chewed poppie gum?

It reminded me of an old turn of 19th century America science fiction story. The protagonist was an MD and was on a legal opium poppy field. The story comes to an end and the MD takes a pinch of gum from a poppy, chews it for a few moments and says to himself, "Hmmmm, this poppy gum is mighty soothing."
