I never understood the appeal of Poppy Seed Tea... I've tried it a few different times, from a couple different sources and brewed by different people - so I know I didn't just get a 'bunk batch' or whatever. I got to say, every time I've been disappointed, even when consuming it on an empty stomach with no opiate tolerance whatsoever (yes, there are times when I have no tolerance to contend with.. heheh, not so much these days).
On the other hand, Poppy POD Tea, is the SHIT. Especially when combined with some Calcium to unlock more of the Morphine content of the grinds. The subtle, delicate combination of all those different alkaloids builds up (albeit slowly) to an amazingly chill, comfortable high with a minimum of side-effects (assuming you dose reasonably). Although, there is a serious risk of nausea, as with all opiates worth touching. I remember one of the first times dealing with the substance, before I had a real handle of the time it takes to truly kick in, and appropriate dosing and all that.. well, needless to say I consumed about four SOLID glasses of pod grinds mixed with OJ, an hour or so before heading out to the Halloween rave.
Well, big mistake.. after popping a couple white doves (pure MDA, my favourite caps EVER) and some serious dancing for an hour or two, I start to feel an unpleasant wrenching in my gut. Long story short, I spent the majority of the rave, up until about 6 in the morning, puking like a madman. Let me tell you, I made a mess of that bathroom something fierce. Not to mention when I bumped into one of my buddies in the hallway while I was rushing to the toilet, then puked right on the ground in the biggest thoroughfare at the venue.. heh. Eventually I wound up sitting on the base of a basketball net, with a plastic garbage can pulled up to me and puking into it at regular 5-10 minute intervals. Make no mistake, I felt GREAT, but definitely not how I planned on spending the biggest rave of the year (aside from New Years, but I never go to those raves... the dawn of a new year is meant to be spent with a lovely lady at a classy hotel, putting away at least an eightball of blow, a bottle of cognac and a fair sampling of pharmaceutical opiates).
So, the reason for this whole post of mine... is to ask, why bother with Poppy Seed Tea, which is so variable in quality and - as far as my experiences go - utterly disappointing, when one can order beautiful AND effective Poppy Pods from any number of reputable Internet vendors. *cough cough*.
Seriously, next time you think of heading down the the grocery mart to pick up a couple kilos of Poppy Seeds, give some thought instead to placing an order for some large Pod heads, along with 2-day shipping to make sure you're not waiting too long. You'll thank me when you're thoroughly mashed on some wonderful codeine/morphine/thebaine/etc sludge. And if you don't know where to get pods, well... you just gotta ask the right people. :D
