How to use opium in a sentence?

1. Tom Carter:

   A peek inside the city's many nightspots reveals a Shangri-La-di-da of tiny Shanghai socialites in even tinier outfits dancing provocatively with well-to-do Westerners. But while such sights may draw gasps from some people, the truth is that this kind of thing is nothing new for Shanghai, the Orient's original opium-den of iniquity.

2. James Hong:

   I read the script, I said,' This is terrible,' all the roles were the opium dope people and the prostitutes and so forth.

3. Taj Mohammad Jahid:

   Overall (opium) is a point of concern ... for all Afghans, but the government will fight against it, we are not concerned about small groups like the Taliban or Daish, who hide themselves in mountains or caves. We will fight to the last drop of blood against those who are against our law and people.

4. Albert Einstein:

   The fanatical atheists...are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who—in their grudge against the traditional 'opium of the people'—cannot bear the music of the spheres.

5. Karl Marx:

   Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
