On average which is stronger if you had say 100g of each?

I've seen some studies say that none pharmaceutical strains of dried pod's are 0.2% - 0.8% morphine by weight and that kratom by weight is 2% mitragynine, not sure the percentage for 7-hydroxymitragynine or the other two opioid's in kratom though.
 
Pods definetly. You can be gouching for 8-12 hours from pod tea. However it can be tricky to find pods that have an appreciable opioid content, i read a study that claimed the ornamental strain of poppy had been bred into most commercially (civilian) available dried pods, pods from florists and seeds ect to considerably lower the alkaloid content.

So knowing that i might go for the kratom if you need it for a rattle cause iv had dried pods do fuck all for me left me sick an the vendor sold them as pap.som. Kratom i feel is more reliable even if it is weaker than (good) pods

On point.

I have been out of the pod game for about 15 years. But back in the 90s there was a rumor that most poppies were going be bread to have more thebaine than morphine for all pods. The thebaine then converted. However I am not sure that was anything other something said than something that was done. When we owned a busy floral shop back then cases of pods from all over the world came in. About 70% of the ones I received were potent. Of course some were useless. I do not think the lower content ones were anything other than nature causing that. (Keep in mind this is from memory, a lot could have happened in 30 years and this could have become a true way of growing these days. Apologies if I missed something) A friend just got a case of 100 from a local florist who is his friend and they seem medium strength he said. Not sure where they were from.

I think in any way you slice it if you have *good* pod powder it will be way more potent than kratom. Kratom has a ceiling effect too. Morphine was always stronger for me. Kratom is safer. I will say the 100 grams compared to another 100 grams who knows which will work better. There is also a lot of bunk kratom out there. A good online vendor is the best bet.
