I've been using pod tea and eating the raw grounds for many, many years. Tea comes on faster and hits you harder, the raw grounds on the other hand (make sure you grind them up in a coffee grinder, as fine as possible before eating, and actually don't eat them, but mix them in with the fruit juice of your choice and gulp em down...kinda has the consistency of metamucil powder mixed in juice) takes a bit longer to start working, but they will hold the WD's off for much, much longer, and the feel is a bit like methadone or bupe (but less damaging to your bank account), not much of a high, but you feel well for a lot longer, sometimes up to 24 hours depending on dose and stomach contents. I am currently coming off of a 1 year long IV heroin binge (not every single day, but almost..., spent about 45,000$ on Baltimore/DC white and brown powder "raw" dope during that hellride of a time, I went back to pods to do a slow taper with raw grounds (and occasional tea, if I really feel the need to catch a buzz) and it has been a godsend. Sorry to digress there, anywhoo...., the grinds are more economical, but expect it to be a bit like m-done, or better yet bupe.....You feel the satiation of your receptors being filled with an exo-opiate, but you wont get too high. I dont know about other folks here, but for me, after my descent into IV heroin-hell, just feeling well and not high is like a high in and of itself. PM me if anyone has questions about pp-tea (except sources, I cant help you with that).
