In the beginning of the poppy pod tea thread there was what seemed to be a very knowledge able person talking about how pod tea is mostly codeine. its the long post here

----------Morphine, as an alkaloid, is not water soluble!
Codeine is slightly water-soluble, -- this is why poppy tea works. You're essentially drinking a lot of codeine water, but getting very few of the other alkaloids, and most importantly, very little morphine. This not fucking cool. Fortunately, the remedy is simple.
In Southeast Asia, the process of turning opium into heroin start with a basic morphine extraction which is done using lime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), or limestone (calcium carbonate). For profitability reasons, groups usually use cheap chemical fertilizers containing these chemicals, but of course you don't want to go dumping fertilizer into your tea.
But, where do we get those chemicals? Well, they're all forms of calcium. In fact, calcium carbonate is the main component of many calcium supplements -- look for it on the label/description. Bottom line? Powder up calcium carbonate supplements, add them to your very lightly boiling tea, stir, and then filter off the poppy gunk for huge win. This step will convert the water-insoluble morphine into water-soluble calcium morphenate, meaning your plain old codeine tea turns into supercharged morphine and codeine tea. Keep the tea, throw away the plant matter, and enjoy. All for not too much more than your normal tea process. --------
Though Ive personally tried adding some calcium i cant say i noticed any difference. Any way this is why I thought tea was mostly codeine. Seems this is debatable
Any one have any experience with Pod Tea and SSRI's ?
So fair these post are making me feel very good. especially suessmayr.
Does any one have any thoughts on my theory about a more dpressed person able to get more from opiates? Thanks.
