Opioids Average amount of active chemicals per 1/g poppy grinds?

[muie]

With morphine sulfate I have limited experience...only 2-3 times snorted and it was the greatest better than smoked fentanyl or heroin. With pods I have used a lot of times and always taken the pods not in tea but ground up and swallowed back with water which hits harder and longer (also you need less to get buzzed). Many times on pods I've had the same amount of sedation and nodded out as hard as on H or on regular/pure morphine sulfate...many people say that what pods lack is the sometimes extreme euphoria that other stronger opioids cause and although I agree with this I believe pods should be used for the more subtle and unique feeling they give.

1) Taking in consideration an average poppy pod, when dried out and ground to powder how much morphine and/or codeine would one say they contain?

ie: min and maximum or for example an average (medium-large) pod when ground to powder weights about 2-3g and when I take 5-7 pods at once I get nodded out like I mentioned previously. Therefore whoever says that there are only 1mg/g morphine and considering the low bioavilability of morphine there must be either a) Much more codeine/morphine or b) some completley different chemical separate from codeine and morphine that gives the effects of the pod


2) I hope this question is allowed as I have no personal interests other than self knowledge:

How much do you pod users think that it is too much $ for a pod? (ie: would you pay $2 a large/giant pod....what would be too much?

1) Depends if the pod has already been "bled" of all its latex before being dried. Most pods have already had this process done, but as most people know, it's literally impossible to get 100% of the alkaloids. So if that's the case, I'd say there's 1% worth of morphine by weight. Otherwise, if it was a private grower who didn't use the pods for its latex, I'd say morphine concentration to be between 5-20% dry weight depending on plant quality and what kind of poppy was grown (the Tasmanian poppy has the HIGHEST amount of morphine).

And don't forget all the other active alkaloids like Codeine. If you're just brewing tea, codeine will be in there, and roughly 10-14% gets converted to morphine. Taking 1-2 Tagamet tablets or drinking 100% pure white Grape Fruit Juice 1 hour prior will potentiate all opiates so be CAREFUL! When potentiating, take 1/4 to 1/3 of your usual dose. You can always drink more if he desired effects aren't satisfying enough. But remember to wait a good hour before re-dosing just in case the first brew hasn't reached its peak effects w/ the potentiator(s).

2) And yes, ever since eBay banned the sale of poppy pods, websites have been popping everywhere and are all charging a premium for them. AFAIK, poppies (papaver somniferum) can be grown legally in the USA (though technically a "gray-area" but I've never heard of anyone getting busted unless they were selling them like that guy in California), just as long as you don't start bleeding them for their latex. But even then, you'd need lots and lots of them, and their bright colors might attract some unwanted attention as they can grow relatively high (2-4ft). And since the media has "educated" the populace on what they look and that they're used to make heroin, your "friendly" neighbors will think, "OMG, our neighbor is making heroin! Call the cops!!" Unless you live in the country, far from everyone, I wouldn't risk doing it.
