poppy pod tea report (didn't work)

[hdth]

Alright so my question is did I do anything wrong here?

I ordered 12 golf ball sized pods of what looked like poppy pods. I crushed them up into a fine powder split in two and put both parts in two seperate coffee filters and brewed it via coffee maker. All together the 12 pods made about a gallon of poppy pod tea which looked dark brownish in color and strangely tasted good. I shook the gallon up and took about a half gallon as my dose. After two hours I felt more relaxed, thats it. No itches or nodding or euphoria it didn't even have the strength of 20mg hydrocodone. I have a low opiate tolerance(20-30mg of hydrocodone makes me feel quite high) and with every report iv read this should have worked. Based on the low prices of poppy pods im going to try it again except for a different site any tips?

It sounds like you did it right. A little bit of lemon juice added to the water before steeping would help get more alkaloids into the solution. IME I've had pods that were (almost) useless & pods where 12 was a serious overdose. Those were "hens & chicks" & 10 of those (each) was enough to knock out both me & my girl at the time. My brother was able to wake me but we couldn't wake her & had to call 911. She was blue & barely breathing. It took 3 shots of narcan to bring her around. Don't underestimate/overdo pods!

I don't think you'll find hens & chicks these days. I only found them once but I haven't looked in years. If at first you don't succed...

You just had poor pods, and I recommended dosing them by weight instead of number of pods. 3grams is a test dose (unless you have super potent ones), usually it takes 10 grams to get decent effects with little tolerance, but you ALWAYS need to test each batch for potency. I've had pods which give strong effects at 2 grams, and then pods which give the equivalent effect at 15 grams.

I use poppy pod tea regularly and I bet you committed the cardinal sin (in my book) and my best tip is to grind it so fine that you drink the ground up poppies. That way you are getting ALL of the goodness. It is just like drinking orange juice with bits in it. Here is the recipe for my big drink last night that had me nodding and feeling lovely:

I buy a kilo and de-seed it, crush the pods, blend them roughly in a food blender and then blend them finely in a coffee grinder. Store away in a Tupperware container in a cool, dark cupboard.

Then,

put 3 Earl Grey tea bags in my big flask with 300ml boiling water (DON'T add the ground poppy yet)
Add 2 teaspoons of sugar
Add 5 big splashes of lemon juice
Add 2 caps full of cider vinegar
Put lid on and shake for 2 minutes so you have a dark tea drink.


Open and fish the tea bags out
pour in 400ml White Grapefruit Juice
Lid on and shake, so you have a lukewarm tea/juice mix

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ your ground up poppy pods again in your coffee grinder so they are VERY fine (how much you use depends on tolerance and strength of pod)

Open flask (it is now just lukewarm so won't hurt the alkaloids in the poppy) pour in the poppy grounds

Lid on and shake up.

Funnel into a litre bottle

Swig from it, shaking it up every time so you get the drink and you swallow the ground up poppy also

Bingo! You are wasting nothing. There is a lot of what you want in the poppy pods so use them. Don't bother with that crap of filtering them out. DRINK THEM!!!! I was pin eyed, itching and feeling lovely all night.

It works... Just don't waste half your goodness by throwing away the soggy poppy pods!!
