Hey guys, I'm a NewB and I'm inquiring about the use of this infamous "poppy seed Tea" and it potency. I have no knowledge or personal experience, other that it can be used to "cure" addiction and not only to get high but as pain management.

My doctor prescribed Tylenol 3 with codeine in the beginning for migraines. My tolerance built up and I am now on Tylenol 4. Ive been on this since 2006 and i wanted to try something more natural.

People tell me to try weed, but I don't know anyone who sells (plus i can't stand the smell) and I would like to try this Poppy seed Tea. I'm aware that a 17yr old died of a OD so i know i have to be careful.

My dumbass ended up buying poppy seeds from the indian store but they were white and i heard they SUCK, so i got a refund and got "Spice Island's Poppy Seed" from the grocery store. They are Black, blue and grey-ish and i noticed some white stuff which probably indicates they weren't thoroughly washed --which is good.

Any experiences? Does it relieve pain and get you "high"
Any Good recipes?



**another question, if a make quite a bit, am i able to refrigerate and save for later without affecting it potency?

It depends on the variety of poppy seeds, what kind of poppy they are from, whether or not they were washed before, etc. Poppy seed tea is always a gamble because the poppy seeds don't actually contain any alkaloids. You're just washing the residual latex (opium) off of them. Poppy pod tea is much more effective in general.

Poppy seed tea can much stronger than Tylenol 4, and harder to titrate your dose; it contains a variable amount of morphine and codeine every time you make it and is super nasty to drink. Lots of people have walked straight into addiction with poppy seed/pod tea - be careful if you decide to use it with regularity, and especially if you're trying to catch a nod.

If you are only on T4s I suggest you try Kratom; it is legal to purchase online or through mail order in many countries and is much easier to dose - you only need ~10 grams of leaf for a dose, less if it's any good, and it's not nearly as awful tasting.

Leaving tea in the fridge will eventually make the alkaloids degrade and mold will grow.
 
i tried kratom last week and while i have no pain it gave me decent sedation and took away all the anxiety i had. No real euphoria but I didnt dose high. I think i took like 7g then dosed up 12. I believe that if you took the kratom and your T4 your pain would diminish. However if your looking for a better high then what your getting poppy pod tea would probably be your best bet havent had the opportunity to try myself but i only read good things (aside from the addiction). anyways cheers bud hope you find what your looking for.
 
As mentioned above, there is already a mega thread.

Anyway, yes it does work, there is morphine and other alkaloids on the seeds. Your best bet is to buy them in bulk as these usually contain the most alkaloids.

The danger is that there is no way to tell how much morphine is in each batch. To be safe, evertime you buy a batch of seeds, mix them well in a bowl to get the concentration as even as possible and make some tea using less seeds than you normally would, if it comes out weak then you can label that batch as normal, if you get the same effects as you would from a "normal" batch then you know that this particular batch is stronger and vice versa.

Hold your nose when you drink it.
 
I got addicted to poppyseed tea from the first time I tried it/amidst heroin WD. I did a large amount and felt even better than I would on H (minus the IV rush) I loved it because of the duration of the high. It is very potent IF you find a good source. That being said, I recommend you start slow. .5 lb, 1 lb, 1.5 lb etc. Work your way up.

The main indicator to find if it was potent for me was the smell. Good seeds have a certain smell that I can't quite explain, it just smells nasty. I purchased them from a bulk foods store by the lb. I would look to make sure there were plenty of "Globulars" which I call them, that are like 3-8 seeds all stuck together by a glob of dried latex.

Be careful, START SLOW, and don't get in the habit of doing seeds everyday.

Good Luck.
 
Jesus talk about lame. No offense, but if you can't be bothered to do even the slightest bit of research and hunting down info (and just doing a thread title search here for poppy tea would have provided you with tons) then why should anyone help you? I'm sick to death of people popping in here saying "hi I'm a nubie and am incapable of doing anything myself so please hand the answers to all my simple questions to me on a silver platter, k?"

Being a nubie is not a valid excuse to be a lazy fuck.

Ok look I'm sorry, earlier I said no offense - I take it back, I hope I offended you greatly.

Oh and by the way NO there is absolutely nothing to all that poppy seed tea bullshit, if it were true don't you think everyone would be stocking up on poppy seeds and sipping their way into oblivion all day long? Now go away and don't come back.

God I wish I could tape a "kick me" sign to your back.

OFFENSE!! LOTS OF OFFENSE MEANT!!
 
^time to take a xanax and some deep breaths, buddy (although you're completely right, no need to get worked up! ;))

The first thing you need to learn about BL, OP is that you can't expect to pop in here and have people do all the work for you. We've gathered an extensive collection of really quality information on a number of topics and have even organized in ways to help you find what you want. Please always check out the directory, mega threads and use the search engine before starting any threads.

Erik pointed you in the right direction - we've had a couple poppy tea mega threads that very thoroughly cover all of this so please check them out.

Let me know if you have any questions.
