That sounds like a crazy hassle, and a waste of time. If you are already have a commitment to narcotics, then just order some opium poppy pods, make tea, and be done with it.
^I was going to suggest exactly that (i actually do that too.. easier than growing)... but i wasn't sure if talking about the availability of dried pods was allowed on the boards -
--also, i'm paranoid of the sources disappearing... god forbid. love my pods. and hate them.
