I've been using the seed tea for nearly a year, i prefer the pods but for value & ease of being able to buy them, its usually the seeds i use. I limit myself to 1-2 a week & no more than that, mainly to avoid much of a build up in tolerance & any dependancy. For the people chipping in on these seed threads & saying they dont work or its 'placebo' .....how can i put this? your wrong.
As has been mentioned potency can vary quite a bit between batches, but i've got a decent supply & i almost always get a nice experience from the tea i make. My usual amount is 300-400g, i put them in a big mixing bowl, add a half pint of warm water & three tblsp of lemon juice. I think give them a good stir to make sure all the seeds have been in the water, i'll stir for a few mins and then leave to sit for about 10 mins.
I've seen crazy preps saying to leave them sitting for hours but there is no need.
The seeds have a very light coating of opiates on their surface & it doesnt take long for this to be absorbed into the water. If you are leaving the seeds in for ages you also get a load of fatty oils leaking out of the seeds & that will make your tea taste rank.
Occasionally i'll have 25mg of dramamine to help potentiate the tea, or i might have a beer and a bit of a smoke. You can feel the added effects washing over you doing this. Its also normal for me to get a 12hr buzz from a batch of this tea.
