I have no idea what category this falls under because Im not educated on this particular herb. Is this something that can be purchased at any tea shop or head shop? Why is it so popular? Comparable to kratom?
 
It isnt an "herb." It is simply the very same poppy seeds found on muffins and bagels. Seeped in hot water and flavoured it offers a relatively light opiate experience. You cannot buy it as tea anywhere. You need to make it yourself and there are umpteenth threads about how to do it both on BL and online in general.
 
Look up on google- "Papaver Somniferum Seeds" look up how to make it; it's really simple I have my own techs but I can't release that info due to site rules, sorry. It's better to just buy a half a pound and grow the shit it's about 4-6 months of growing from seed; once you study on google for a few hours, or here on BlueLight. You'll understand how hard it is to get a "buzz" off of poppy seed tea unless you're hypersensitive to opiates/are young or have an odd metabolism. Bottom line is; just grow the shit.
 
I have a very limited knowledge of PST, but i've had it a handful of times.

The seeds found in bulk can be very powerful. I know folks who switch it up between heroin and PST, depending on where you source the seeds, 1-2 lbs can be as strong as a bag of dope. The high is mainly from morphine and codeine which are a small part of a wide number of alkaloids found in the raw opium deposits that cling to the seeds within the flower pod.

There is nothing 'light' about the high. You either get good seeds and extract them well, or you don't. I've had shit seeds that gave me a slight buzz and i've had the same amount of good seeds that put me in a 12 hour nod.

It's not sold in tea or head shops, it's a baking ingredient and must be treated as such. Bulk seeds are the way to go if you can find them.

It't not really comparable to kratom, i think it's far stronger and more addictive and mainly comparable to morphine.
 
There is a Poppy Seed Tea Mega thread somewhere around here that goes into great length about PST(Poppy Seed Tea). I used t make it quite often and although it can give a decent buzz its very inconsistant on when you will get that good buzz. This is because most of the active chemicals are not actually found in the seeds, but is found in residue from the poppy pod left on the seeds. So the best seeds to use are ones which have not been washed very much and will have a deep black color and might look a little sticky. Seeds that have been well washed look more of a grey/dark blue color and will just seem cleaner.

PST is diff from something like kratom because it contains actual opiates like opium and morphine, BUT ONLY IN SMALL TRACE AMOUNTS. Which is why as the above poster said you need lots and lots of seeds to make anything happen. I'm talking like a half pound to a pound of seeds. You do not boil the seeds you just want to soak them in either water or white grapefruit juice or a combo of the two and shake them up in a container of some sort to wash over any residual residue from the poppy pods. thats where the magic is.
 
I've bought the dried pods legally online several times, I usually throw the seeds away as they don't seem to do anything and make the tea out of the crushed/ground dried poppy pods instead.. just add hot water, leave a while and give a GOOD filter through coffee filters/kitchen roll etc. and drink.
 
i just got off a 60mg a day oxy script for a surgery

read on here about the magical poppy sead tea

ordered 5 pounds on friday then it came on monday had my first cup that same night out of 500g poppy seeds i was FLOORED and my pain was staved off well into wed


i think guys that are not feeling anything are getting the wrong seeds LMAO
 
I've been doing PST for a long time now, just because since I've discovered them I save soooo much more money than the jacked up prices on other stuff where I live. Yes to have a good time 2 pounds is what I use to feel great. I use one pound if I just want to keep the WDs off. Use cold water, never hot, the opiates on the outside of the seeds will disintegrate at even moderately high temps.
 
Really hope someone can give me some insight: I have run out of my hydrocodone RX 2wks early. Usually take
80-90mg of hydrocodone daily, and as a replacement have been using Poppy
Seed Tea (no more than 200grams daily) for the last 3-4 days. My question is if I use PST as a temporary 11-14 day replacement for hydrocodone will I withdrawl from PST when I resume taking hydroconde and discontinue PST? Does anyone have experience in using PST short term as a replacement to make it through RX gaps?

It's hard to establish perfect equality when switching between opiate medications. Ideally, you can switch any opiate and as long as you take an equivalent dose, your tolerance wont rise. But if you are getting much 'higher' off the PST, then you might end up withdrawing from it when you switch back. If you are only taking enough to stave off withdrawals, then when you switch back you should feel better. It depends.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm taking an intentionally low amount simply to combat 1) Withdrawal 2) Pain .....not trying to get whacked out of my mind, just trying to use it as a very short-term alternative. I will admit the first few days I took it, it was a bit much so have lowered it to 200grams daily and will probably go even lower. If just one tiny sip daily does the trick I'm happy -- just dont want to end up PST dependent after 11-14 days of usage. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

This is very true; use cold to ice cold water if you really want to make poppy seed tea. Like I said before I'd personal grow the shit.
 
Not smart to say pounds and pounds are needed. Let's not let a child read this and go and experiment and lose another life. Be smart people. Start low and don't say you need pounds and pounds of the stuff.

100% agreed, if you read my first post on this topic<snip> I said it's best to grow than to buy pounds of the shit just to make a half ass tea that doesn't work for me & most nonnaive opiate users. <snip> I've gone through a habit of 12mg's a day injected dilly with 160mg of hydro/oxy IR tabs by mouth at the same time so I know that just poppy seed tea will only make your WD a tad bit manageable. Telling people the wrong info could lead to some ones death or bad OD if they are naive opiate users...

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this on the thread cos I CBA to read all the replies...

As far as I am aware (and I have this all on good authority) Poppy Seeds themselves are very low in Opiate Alkaloids, I'm sure if you had enough you could get something out of them but it is the pods and the stem close to the pod you want. The opiate alkaloids are formed in the green fleshy part of the pod in the sap which is white latex. As I am sure most people know Opium is this sap but dried and is usually extracted by lancing the pods and when the sap oozes out it is collected. So assuming you have the right poppies (Papaver Somniferum) then there will be opiates inside the dried plant pods but not really in the seeds. You should crush the pods and remove the seeds as they are full of this nasty waxy shit.

If you gently heat the crushed poppy pods in water the opiates will dissolve into the water. Depending on how good those pods are, how big they are and many other factors will dictate how much opium is in the water. I've heard of people using just a couple and some using ten. I know that you can get about 70mg of Opium latex from one poppy pod so getting high off two seems plausible. The point is you have no idea how strong it will be so you could have a very bad time if you are reckless. Best to start very low and see what happens.

If all you have are seeds then plant them now for a harvest next summer. They will grow into little seedlings now before winter and then in spring will shoot up and produce beautiful flowers. Making poppy tea from seeds is pointless.

The pods I get only require a quick blend, then some lemon juice with white grape fruit juice to fully allow the pods to extract the opiates/alkaloids. I don't cook it into a tea due to the strength of pods of I have, & the fact that opiates seem to burn off easily; I
prefer juices and or cold water with ice to fully crush and extract the goodies.
 
some food for thought there. im very opiate naive so my question is would say 300. /500 grammes of blue poppy seeds be a good startin dose??
I can't help with this question other than looking on google for a 'foral décor' for dried pods that seem to be always opium pods; so I'd buy some pods instead of the seeds due to the pods are stronger and longer lasting- so trust a nonnaive op user man. It's not worth the cash for seeds when you could spend cheap money for opium pods you can easily find online and get them legally shipped to your door. No deep web underground marketplace bullshit it's on the normal web, so have a crack at it homie; Mabye you'll get lucky like me and find a plug for poppies & pods shipped to my doy with next day air/2 day air; &, very good pricing and constant supply they have at all times.
 
Poppy Seed Tea does have an effect if you get the right seeds. One thing that is certain is if you are using this for pain relief or I guess just recreationally for that matter, is the cost to dose ration and effect.. While I will say bulk buying is best, I did not find that it was an efficient way to really get the desired opioid effects. Sure it has some in higher dosages and if you got the right seeds. In my opinion Poppy Seed Tea works while Kratom does not really! Of course if you are taking any prescribed opioids the tea is useless. The tea varies so much in potency and you don't have any real way to know the dosage only a guess at best. Depending on your goal of use, pain relief or just recreational use, I find the tea is not going to work on either goal short term or long term... Its just too varied and the amount of liquid you have to consume...
