Tomorrow, I will be receiving my first ever batch of pods. I purchased the small to mid sized ones of the Turkish variety. I have read tons of these posts from the first and second mega merged threads and have decided ultimately to make my recipe as follows.
(Just to add; I'm about 5' 9", 140 pounds and have a fairly low tolerance to opiates. I have delved into my fair share of all the different pharmaceuticals and have been lucky enough to never experience withdrawals due to the spacing I put between my vacations to the land of nod.)
1. Grind up 10 pods using a coffee grinder just purchased from the store.
2. Bring 20 oz. of water to just under a boil and removing it from the stove burner.
3. Adding the powder from the aforementioned ground pods and allowing 20 minutes of steeping time.
4. Cover the opening of a glass with material from an old t shirt and straining the tea through; then squeezing the remaining liquid in the grounds into the cup as well.
5. Consume a glass or two of grapefruit juice as a potentiator.
6. Bottoms up with the tea.
7. If desired effects are not achieved within an hour to an hour and a half, I will then attempt eating the remaining poppy grounds with some applesauce or pudding.
Sound good? Questions, comments?
I will post something tomorrow with a detailed time line of my experience.
