Opium, I believe can be chemically manipulated or processed into varying forms. Morphine comes to mind, as does Laudanum, or Tincture of Opium.

"Opium vial" seems to have more cachet than "Quinine vial."

One can drink admixtures of raw opium in a tea, or tinctures of opium cut with high alcohol content, or use alkaloids of opium in refinement, but the minimal amount of opium contained in one of these miniscule containers wouldn't get a fly high.

While out in the deserts of Nevada this summer working around lots of abandoned mining camps I found a couple of these and lots of these "opium" viles that were broken. They are pretty cool imo.
