I know it is possible to OD on poppy pod tea... is it one of those things that when you know you took too much, you're fucked? anyone have any knowledge in this area? I have made some tea today with 24 smaller pods, about 3 inches around, and came up with an MUCH stronger brew than I have making tea with the same amount previously. any suggestions would be helpful 8o

grind all your pods from one batch mix and then store in a cool dry dark place and this way conistency is guaranteed , in fresh pods the differences in potency are even bigger it wouldn't be hard to od at all with a low tolerance , however i have noticed with Pt that if it's too much / too strong you usually puke it out

also to fruther minimize the risk of od when drinking your tea use more water then usually either sip on it slowly like over half an hour or drink half of it and the rest like 30 mins later ; that way you can guess the potency and know when you had enough , also the colour and bitterness of tea are good indicatprs of potency too the trained eye/tounge , .

if you eat grouns obviously you have to even more carefull since dose is halved and it takes sometimes over 2 hours to be felt.


well hope i was of help
 
thanks man.. this is hopefully my last hoorah ao o speak. I am starting a new job monday, a really good one, and want to be in the right mind for training. I am looking to get HIGH and hopefully I dont overdo it
 
Well, I'm sure one could OD on Poppy pod tea if they did a lot more than they could handle. Although.. I've never heard of anyone ODing on Pod tea but i have heard of someone ODing and dying from Poppy Seed Tea. There is a web site on the net, about these parents who dedicated a web site to their son and how he died from Poppy Seed Tea. The website has the toxicology report on it, along with the Autopsy report on it. The Toxicology report is kinda interesting. It list what was in his system and how much of it.

But, the way they found their son when he died is blacked out with a marker. They said it's to protect the privacy of their son. I guess they didn't want people to know how his body was found.

I don't have the link to the story but if you Google "Teenager overdoses from Poppy Seed Tea" it should come up some where. Or replace 'Teenager' with 'Kid'. I think it also comes up if you just type 'Poppy Seed Tea' in Google. If you want to read the story, just Google the above.

Anything's possible with opiates, especially considering the fact that pods/seeds are impossible to get consistent dosages on or to tell strength any other way but by testing them yourself. 24 pods sounds like a lot...not necessarily to an experienced user but with pods you still never know until it's too late. Next time, I'd suggest titrating up using about half that dose.

The biggest threat of overdose is probably if you were to fall asleep and stop breathing from an undiagnosed case of sleep apnea intensified by the opiates or from simply taking too much. Also, mixing them with other CNS depressants increases this risk. Some people like myself have what's called "vomit continence", which means their fear of vomiting causes them to avoid it at all costs, with some finding they can't do it even if they try. I don't know how common this is, but it could be a problem if one were to NEED to get rid of the drugs in the body and couldn't...
 
i think i might have overdosed? so on sunday night around 11pm i made a cup of tea with 6 tablespoons worth of ground up pods (probably equal to around 6 pods). i also took 25mg of meclizine. earlier in the day at about 5pm i took 30mg of adderall and 25mg of meclizine too. after drinking the cup of tea, i waited for a couple hours and smoked some weed too. i was feeling pretty good but i wanted to try drinking more, since i didn't feel too tired yet, so at around 1 am i rebrewed the powder again and drank it, which is half strength right? i smoked some more weed and kept nodding out for a while, watching tv.

i got extremely itchy, even with the meclizine (more itchy than i had ever gotten before) and i had never nodded that strongly before either so i got a little worried that i od'd or something. i figured i would be fine though and i went to sleep at around 4am. however, i was still extremely tired when i woke up the next day at 12, so i kept sleeping and i ended up just sleeping until 6 am today (about 26 hours of sleep in all). (i also slept for only about 4 hours the previous 3 nights so that probably had something to do with it too.) so right now it's 7am and i still feel really out of it. i just tried to eat something but i threw up almost right after. do you think i took too much or was i just too tired already or something? thanks!

I dont want to tell you to repeat this or anything...But to mee it sounds liek you got the perfect high..the high im always looking for..but cant get anymore.
I'd love to get that high. You didnt have trouble breathing right? You just nodded out hardcore...well thats wickd then.

yeah it was pretty good at the time, but i never took that much before so i was just a little worried. the only thing that was annoying was sleeping for like 26 hours after. do you think that was mostly due to the tea or because i hadn't slept much for a while? like if i was fully rested before drinking the tea, would i probably have been able to sleep just like 8-12 hours or so and be fine? or is do you always need a lot of sleep after high doses like that?
 
A few times I worried I had OD'd. I went to bed, and after lying down, it became overwhelming. I couldn't feel my body, my breathing was really slow, I had to concentrate on breathing and tried to stay awake. It was tough because I was nodding like crazy. I've learned to be more careful with dosage.
 
I know I've taken more than I can handle a few times. About 30 minutes after I drink the tea, I start feeling good as usual. Then another 30 minutes later, I start feeling sick. Over the next hour I feel sicker and sicker and I throw up so hard I swear I puked up half a lung or something. I also get so, so, SO SO tired that I fall asleep wherever I am, including sitting at the dinner table. If I feel that way, I always make sure I throw up and then wait until I'm not so incredibly tired. Once it goes away, I feel like I'm safe to go to bed.

yeah that's like what happened to me but it was right after i lied down to watch tv and go to sleep soon. i also smoked a couple bowls too then, and that's when it got the strongest. i felt really good but i was a little worried since i never had that much before. i didn't feel any more than usual nausea or anything though, i just felt really tired and i couldn't keep my eyes open no matter how hard i tried sometimes. i was worried when i went to sleep but i had no other choice. does anyone know if this is how i should feel on a regular dose, or did i take too much? because the only unpleasant thing for me was not knowing if i took a safe dose, but if i know it's safe next time i'll be able to enjoy it more.

edit:

yeah i got so tired too, i think i would've fallen asleep anywhere. but i barely noticed any nausea at all. when i got up i noticed a little bit, but it didn't seem like more than usual. then i was wondering maybe i was just feeling so good that i didn't mind feeling nauseous and i actually did feel more nasuous than usual. i tried looking it up and i still couldn't find much on what danger signs to look for when drinking poppy tea. does anyone know any ones that are easy to tell?

oh yeah and is it normal to fall into such a long deep sleep like that after using opiates? i think it might have been also because i took 30mg of adderall 4 days in a row including the day i drank the tea, and i was getting like half the sleep i usually get. i also drank tea the night before the night i had too much. anyway, i usually sleep a while after doing adderall but never that long i don't think.

The long period of sleep doesn't sound out of reason for being up several days on minimum sleep, then ingesting a strong dose of PT before sleeping. Even without the extended time spent awake, sleeping 15+ hours when one falls asleep with a strong, long-acting opiate like tea isn't unheard of
 
My kidneys failed after a PPT OD and there was nothing I could do after I'd drunk the tea. I woke up face down on the floor the next morning covered in vomit and in extreme pain.
 
A case of fatal overdose in 2003 has been reported on a website authored by the victim's parents. The site alleges that a sample of poppy seed tea was sent for laboratory analysis. This victim is reported to have used 3.5 lb of poppy seeds in his tea preparation as on several previous occasions. The concentration of morphine in the tea was shown to be around 250 μg/ml and the amount of morphine which had been consumed by the individual was around 500 mg.[1] This is about five times the lethal oral dose.[2]ABC News reported on the incident in January 2008.[3]

5 times the lethal dose for who? I could eat 500mg and barely feel it.
 
You would barely feel 500mg of morphine? That's like eating 100 vicodin (minus APAP). I could see that being potentially lethal for the wrong person. I'd be fucked up, but likely not dead. Certainly not dead *5.
 
so what i took was probably pretty safe then? does it make it significantly more risky to take meclizine or diphenhydramine with the tea? i usually prefer meclizine though so i don't get too tired.
