Misc Diazepam + Poppy Seed Tea - Is my dose safe?

[Polynomial]

A little background - my source for poppy seeds, which I will not state typically varies in potency very little. I use 1 1/3 pounds typically, which gets me buzzed, but not very much so.

2 days ago I picked up my script for diazepam 10mg. The first night I took 40mg total. Yesterday I took 15mg. Today I am brewing some tea as I post this, and am planning on taking another 10mg of diazepam; however, I am using 2 1/3 pounds of poppy seeds for my tea this time.

My question, in essence. Is how much does diazepam potentiate morphine? (Poppy Seed Tea) And in addition - is there any easily obtainable method of reducing pupil constriction?

Dont take diazepam and have poppy tea!!!!!

Poppy tea is a best guess dose as it is! It's already easy to OD on it. Dont take another CNS depressant with it!!!

Will my diazepam from yesterday effect this?

If you're going to be mixing the two substances, I would lower the diazepam dose.

 

[madog11]

Yesterday's should be ok. And if you were taking pharmacutical opiates then the above advice would work. With poppy tea it doesnt! Because you can't have an exact dosage. It is FAR too risky!

So, I'm going to drink half the tea - followed by 5mg diazepam. After an hour, I will drink more PTS if I feel up for it. If I am still within safe limits I'll take 5mg more of diazepam. I have a good idea of when I'm reaching danger levels. I always consult someone before these things, so I will keep you all posted if anything goes wrong.

Out of curiosity, say someone DID OD and had combined opiates and benzos - does this effect the efficiency of opiate antagonists such as Naltraxone?

 

[madog11]

Bare in mind that diazepam has 100 hour half life. So you will be adding to your dose from last night and could end up accidently ODing.

And yes it would effect that. Because of the benzos!

My reccomendation is don't do it. You're playing with your life.

Here's to hoping I didn't get some extremely potent seeds..

Drank my tea 10 minutes ago and the body load is already very intense.

 

[madog11]

Don't do anything stupid and get to a hospital if you start having problems breathing.

I'm sure you've heard of heroin OD's cause they got a good batch. Poppy tea is, in my opinion riskier than that.

^ lol bro, im sorry but no, that's not correct. poppy seed tea is not that strong. i dont think ive heard of anyone ODing on poppy seed tea. most batches are shitty aswell and dont even get me feeling anything


the thing with poppy seed tea is that no one knows how potent it will be. its a wildcard yah kno??? i would drink your tea, wait 30 mins and if you feel fine and not too wrecked, take 10-20mgs valium

 

[madog11]

I would suggest waiting at least 2 hours IF you were going to do it (which in my opinion is a stupid idea with something so random). 30 Mins is not nearly long enough!

On the contrary. I have had doses of poppy seed tea without potentiation that are so powerful I am barely able to move. Thank god I didn't take grapefruit juice, or benzos because I would be dead.

I hate to link to a different forum but it is very informative, and something everyone should see:

I agree entirely with madog11. The time it takes to come up on PTS varies - ESPECIALLY if one is using a method of potentiation. I'm not sure exactly why this is, but that's the way it seems to be.

loool you must have the tolerance of a 6 year old.. my bad...i didnt kno wthat

Wow, that's really respectful. How about learning some HARM REDUCTION that's what this forum is for!

With all due respect, you obviously haven't enough respect (or are perhaps just naive) for the mission of this website. Education, harm-reduction. Your posts should be good-willed. Please know that you are well informed before you post information that could cause someone to harm someone else.

Yea making fun of someone for having a low tolerance to opiates makes perfect sense 8)

I'm seeing a lot of this problem as of late... for those in a vunerable position they may take it and could end up being harmed. As in this situation.

If someone has a low tolerance I want to congratulate them! Not belittle them.

I agree. I'm not going to stoop to a very low level, but my urge is there indeed.
So I say: laCster, my habit is cheaper than yours. (Nahnah nahnah nah nah)

If anybody is considering doing this (and this being a harm reduction site, it seems appropriate to strongly advise against doing so), it would be well worth following the advice given by posters above, i.e. drink the tea first, and wait until the opiate effects have reached their peak before taking any sort of benzodiazepine.

One of the dangers of taking benzos is the effect they have of lowering one's inhibitions. Taking a benzo before you drink your tea could very well lead to you throwing caution to the wind and taking more tea, or more benzos, than you first intended. I'm sure I don't need to tell anybody why that's a bad idea.

Extra caution would also be advised in cases where the subject has little or no experience with benzodiazepines. The first few times I took diazepam (and at far higher doses than a GP would prescribe) the effects were FAR more pronounced than I experience now: extreme aggression, both towards others and myself (hospitalized for cutting my thigh to shreds with a stanley blade); complete loss of inhibitions (hence stupidly taking ~60mg more than I had intended), not to mention sedation lasting days (falling asleep into my food after being discharged from hospital, falling asleep in the bath (!), etc...). If I'd combined the benzos with a strong cup of pod tea, I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be sat here typing this now.

One last word of caution. If anybody does decide to mix the two, they'd do well to make sure they're not going to be around anybody they wouldn't want knowing that they were really high. The first time I took diazepam with opiates I had to meet up with my dad, and I found it physically impossible not to nod out every few minutes. God knows what he must have thought. It sure was a lot of fun though.
