Mega Merged: Ultimate poppy pod/seed tea thread (getting the most out of your pods)

Yes

hard boiling for 5 minutes followed by 15 minute simmer is optimal imo


in fact i usually boil my tea down afterwards and little to no loss in potency takes place


as for water i just make sure there is 1 inch of water above the pod material in a pan and then boil it down to 1 cup after filtering

thx for the advice, BB.

BTW - have your ever tried any of the alcohol methods?
 
don't boil.

well, i have heard others do it,
but morphine breaks down in heat, simple as.

boil some water, then pour it in;
do not boil the water, with the pods in there.


maintaining a temp of ~90degC would be ideal,
though this is not not necessary.

i usually just use boiling water,
leave for 30 mins, drink (add ice if its too hot), then make another extraction with half the amount of water, for half the time.
mostly just to reduce to % loss within the soaking grounds.




i.e 100ml lost out of a 1000ml dissolved 100mg is 10%, 10mg.

so (900/1000)*100mg = 90mg yield. 10mg remaining

once more, (900/1000)*10mg = 9mg yield. 1mg remaining

total extract 99/100mg - 99% yield

not worth it after that.

short Boiling doesn't break down morphine in my experience and that of many others . Opium is typically purified by boiling it so believe me the losses are minimal and only codeine if any.

Naw i never did an alcohol extraction since making tea works so well , i would think alcohol would pull out a lot of plant fats.
 
i guess i'm just not cut out for the poppy experience...i've tried twice now..the first time the effects were very mild...but i know know i made a weak tea and i couldn't drink it all. and the second time(this morning) i couldn't make myself drink it.. I almost wanna puke just when i smell it. i tried in grapefruit juice this morning and still couldn't do it...:(

i'm very sad about this b/c i was really looking forward to this as it sounds like something i might like.

i take hydros on the regular and thought this might be a cheaper/ more efficient way to get high.. oh well

I think you can go ahead and drink the rest of the cup

colour doesn't say much in regard to potency , bitterness does though

are you talking about poppy seed tea? in my experience, color plays an important part, but bitterness is the true decicive factor, true. you can be almost 100% certain, however, that if your tea is almost yellow, that it is bunk. if it is a nice medium or dark brown, it's good in most cases (there are rare exceptions). there's a poppy seed tea thread in the trip reports section where somebody posted a picture of a glass of PST and it was a nice medium dark brown. the same color as I used to get when i had potent seeds.

edit: nevermind, a few posts later and i saw you were talking about pods. sorry.
 
hope this hasnt been asked but i looked everywhere. is there a volume measurement for ground poppy pods, such as 1 tablespoon=1 medium pod, or 1/8 cup (standard coffee scoop)= ? or similar conversion?

yeah i think im getting some minor withdraws from using four nights in a row. I just have the chills like a flu, and my nose is a little stuffed up. it just took like 36 hours for me to really start feeling it which is weird. im gonna eat one pod now and save the other 15 i have ground up for another time.

Any other opinions on this? Can you really get physically addicted and have withdraws after only using something for 4 days?

How long it takes to get addicted to opiates is both personal, and psychological. It also depends on whether you've ever been addicted before.

With a history of prior addiction, it can take only 3 days to get addicted again. For a newbie, it isn't likely for at least 5 days or more - imho.

But the psychological factor plays a large role in any addiction. I've found that at times, if you're a beginner, and you just don't think about it, it might not happen at all with short-term use - especially if you haven't gone wild.

Not saying that the physical part doesn't exist - but much of it can be avoided, if you don't expect it to happen, and keep your mind occupied with other things.

I thought it was considered desirable to get rid of some of those fats, i.e. cleaner tea, without inactive ingredients. Or are there actives in the fats?
 
Man Like I said before I just love eating the pods. Getting a coffee grinder was the best investment ever. I grind till its a flower like powder than eat a spoonfull and chase will some strong ice tea or fruit juice. It makes it better for stealth dosing too because of my mom being home sometimes and my sisters SxE boyfriend being here. Its also more potent to me weight for weight than making tea or putty. Its the best way to take pods IMO

Ever try a blender? I find they work better for all plant matter mainly because they are more powerful. The motors for blenders are usually in the range of 400-550watts where coffee grinders will be 30-120watts.

According to the Merck index, (the "bible") Morphine decomposes at 254 - 256 degrees. So boiling water which is only 212 degrees, really should not be a problem.

re-using pods (ground up) to make tea

I had used about 40 pods to make some tea, I saved the ground up pods and put them in a plastic bag in my drawer. They smelled like shit (moldy sortof smell). This didn't stop me! I boiled some water and threw them all in the pot, went to church because my dad made me, and I just got back, the water was cold and I chugged it all. It tasted somewhat potent but also much nastier.

Normally I can down a glass of fresh PPT without any taste problems. This time, the moldiness taste and the lukewarm water almost made me gag. Anyway, I drank it all...do you think i'll get any opiates out of the grounds? do you think i'll get sick?

I know I probably should have asked this before I drank all the tea but eh, sometimes I do shit backwards. Your responses are appreciated.
 
will you get high? no.
will you get sick? possibly. if it actually smelled moldy, i'd prepare myself for an upset stomach at least ;).
did you chug that for nothing? ...in all likelihood, yes, because you've already washed it of most attainable alkaloids and whatnot the first time (assuming you did it properly)
 
Don't drink sour moldy poppy tea please it's not worth it

after haviong boiled your pods do a re-run immediatly if you want to store pod tea 1-2 days in the fridge is ok , if you want to store it for longer boil it down to putty


im merging this into the mega thread
 
I didnt get sick and I didnt really get high either. Oh well at least I learned something.
