Somindex i used to be able to eat up to 25 pods like that only fresh , and someones are just good for tea unless desperate (too thick skin)
I saw this pic of an afgan farmer eating it like an apple and i baptized it the apple-technique , works fine just eat small bits and chew very well.
there is a big difference in high and effectivenes
it might take up to 2-3 hours to come up on an empty stomach (usually 1 - 2 for me) and will last at least 2x as long as any pod experience (duration more akin to done , will be a bit less intense but different feel , more stimulative and more happy for me).
well anyway i want to say for maintenance it's very effective or if you have fresh pods go for it (freshies arre 2x as strong as dried) and because you ain't heating it , no alkaloids will be lost (also feels if there is more in there than just the standard experience , lesss intense but more if that makes sense)
be warned don't get addicted to using poppies this way , it wil give very bad nast nasty Wd bit like a combination of pod tea and done (i can only imgtaine since i never had significant amounts of it)
once more chew really well , preferably small little fresh pods (like the ones with a light color usually like lime green) , and don't take too much! when i started of 6 little cherry sized pods were enough to get me high
and it's an excellent combination with weed i might add
