Opioids Are poppy seeds decreasing in quality? (more washed)

[coolname]

Hi fellow chemheads,

I am a poppy seed enthusiast who had been partaking of this magical, “legal” source of opium since March of this year. I buy from a very large grocery store in the Midwest. The brand I’ve been buying most often sold for no pricing a bottle (actually right now it’s no pricing, the most expensive it’s been was no pricing so ya a pretty cheap drug habit). I don’t know why the price keeps changing but its’ not exclusive to poppy seeds--- this is a very cheap spice manufacturer which also has the same pricing on its other spices. The amount in each bottle is 4.4oz, which means that I limit myself to 6 bottles a day. In other world 26.4oz a day, or 1.5lbs. Obviously this doesn’t mean a whole lot since the quality varies a lot. Why I’m sharing my quanitity uses is not clear to me… haha, just thought it might be interesting to someone out there. Anyways…. Back to my concern…

For the past month the quality of these seeds really went down to the point where the water was a "bright, clear, light yellow" and it barely got me high. It was a tease. In fact it wasn't even good for staving off withdrawals!! It was seriously weak. At that time I was trying to withdraw from this stuff to permanently quit (but I haven't been able to because my mental well being right now is quite low w/ being an unemployed college graduate... I have an interview tomorrow though!) but haven't quit... I use every other day.

Back when I was trying to quit a few weeks ago I got an amazing batch. Just half my daily dosage (3 bottles) got me high. This turned me on to poppy seeds again. But then when I went back to the store to get more the batch had gotten worse but not as bad as a month ago.

I thought that manufactureres were suddenly washing their seeds better but then when I found the "dirty batch" I though maybe not? And then the quantity again went down but not as low as before.

Also, when there is no more of this brand or when I am tired of the low quality I'll splurge on the bob's brand which is expensive at $3.15 for z. Even that brand has gone down and it was super reliabel before. In fact, right now I would say it's worse than the 4.4oz brand bottles I usually buy.

Also, the 3rd brand available in the store that also worked is super week. It's like no pricing for z and it's just not worth it.


So how can it be that 3 perfectly great brands that I'd buy from have worsened all at the same time??? Before the stores (there are 2 of the same stores where I go shopping) would RUN OUT of poppy seeds on the weekends... in fact they would even run out of all 3 brand. Now they NEVER run out (may be because they overstocked, both 2 stores I'd get them are way over stocked hence the price decrease from no pricingcents a bottle... super cheap I know) they never run out probably because people aren't buying as much?


I hope that this excess washing of the seeds is just a temporary thing. I did get a batch of dirty seeds 2 weeks ago... maybe they were lying around the warekhouse or something. Also, the quality of the seeds is better than it was a month ago from the bottles so I'm keep to my habit.

Sticking with my habit even though it's not as strong. It's kinda good the quality is down as I get to decrease my tolerance, just hope this isn't perfect. I haven't nodded out in weeks and this is not just a tolerance thing I assure you!!! That's a big reason why I was going to quit using, I just think they weren't making me high anymore. But almost at the end of my taper I ran into a great batch which got me hooked again.


--------------you can stop reading here if you want to stay on topic, the rest just describes my struggle with this drug and drugs-------------

On a personal note, I am truly grateful this substance is available to me. Otherwise I might kill myself or just get super crazy depressed. I suffered from severe massive mind blowing depression in high school and beginning of college and though I haven't been as depressed again in years I am terrified of it and I am quite sure that this staves it off. Nothing worse than being unemployed college graduate living w/ unemployed neurotic parents. I have an interview tomorrow,

wish me luck on my interview tomorrw!@!!!!!!!! I am sure once I get a job and move out of the house things will get better. I was working out of state this summer and loved it, but had to come home because the job ended. Bam, the minute I come home I start using.... when I was working out of state I NEVER used... didn't use for 3 months!!!! didn't even really want to use. But the minute I get home it's BAM... back to self0destruction. People say that the geographic cure is a myth, however I believe it. Everywhere I got in this town I have images of my drug usage... pills, weed, even crack cocaine w/ the homeless. And I'm a middle-upper class white girl!!! not trying to be smug about that or anything but I was doing crack cocainea t 19 w/ homeless people because I was so depressed and lonely. I feel like a need to leave this place but am tired of working $9/hr kitchen jobs where I can barely suppport myself. Hopefully I land this office job tomorrow. Hopefulyl I will ahve some hope in my life where I wont' have to use to stave off severe loneliness. I don't even feel alive somtiems, I feel like I'm burning.

It's like living in a tombstone and pretending it's a cocoon.

Had to remove all the pricing from your post.. it is not allowed here. Most of this post would probably be better suited to your blog as it's just your personal experience, but I'll leave it open in case anybody wants to comment on the quality or lack of quality of poppy seeds.

k, thx mr. scagnattie for leaving my post up. Sorry you had to make all those corrections, I thought it was ok since it's a legal thing but I didn't write the rules

Hope to hear form all the poppy seed tea afficionado's on bluelight what their experience w/ the quality of the seeds has been.

Part of the issue is that "breadseed" poppy is not bred nor controlled for alkaloid content. You're not even *supposed* to be able to derive narcotics from culinary poppy seeds. It's just a neat little trick.

What you consider the "manufacturer" may actually be a reseller/repackager who buys whatever the cheapest poppyseeds are on the market and packs them for your local store. So different lots may be from entirely different strains of poppy, different regions of the world, etc. And local weather conditions could also influence how much alkaloid adheres to the seeds. This is why poppy seed tea is so hazardous, if you accustom yourself to "weak seeds" and use several lbs per brew, if you get a lot of "potent" seeds, you can end up sick or dead.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the seeds to magically get more potent. This thread is really more blog material than anything else. Even if the poppy farmers were washing their seeds more thoroughly, you can't do anything about it...

theres got to be a good amount of morphine alks on poppy seeds, I failed a drug test with 1000 nano grams per ml last month.

down508, what dosage of what were u taking?

so the quality is back to good again. so good that one store is out. previous to the worsening quality it was frequent to find no canisters of poppy seed at the store. the shelves have been full throughout all this time that the teas have been less potent.

athough i dont think that its as strong as it used to be however it could just be a tolerance on my part influencing my perception of the strength of the brew.

switch vendors, there's always going to be decent poppy seeds around, you're just going to have to look. Sometimes the batches are shitty and it seems this time of year many others are having issues. I had to quit PST because of this back in october. Order in bulk and online as well, try a wholesale company for best results.

tolerance does play a huge role though, i went from 1/4lb to 3lb in a matter of months.

 

[coolname]

ya, i shouldn't underestimate the power of tolerance.... thankfully the seeds are back to being strong and it's worth my effort to not use for a few days so that my tolerance decreases.

but the quality was not as good, i swear, last week as compared to this week. the color is stronger, dirtier, and taste a little bitter (like the way nicotine has this peppery bite in your mouth) now.


honestly the best thing would be just to quit. RobotRipping-- you were probably very lucky to run out of a source... blessing in disguise.

i suggest finding a good place to get the pods. you get strong pods and thousands and thousands of seeds too. not sure if its cheaper to order seeds by themselves, but at least you know their not washed when you pull them from the pods yourself. plus the pods themselves grind up and make a great, long lasting buzz. a good 8 hours solid.

3 Poppy seed bagels. I'm on 8 mg suboxone a day. wherever the bakery was getting their seeds from was doing something right, they were some serious shit.
