My friend wasted all his poppy pods on shitty putty!! What did he do wrong??

[Poppypodlove]

Hey new to blue light and a couple other forums but had some questions?? If I say something wrong please correct me as I am getting use to this site!! I tried looking for similar threads but no luck in this method.. All other threads are too vague in details..

*snip - we don't allow source discussion here*

Anyway he got a half lb and made a 50g batch of tea for him and his gf. Then the rest if it he tried to make putty but he really messed it up.. He really doesn't know what went wrong.

Exact formula he used:

Took 150 g of unused pods and about 50g of used pods that he made the tea with.
He placed the ground pods in a bowl with about 2 liters of water
He let it sit overnight to help release all of the alkaloids. It was in warm tap water for about 2 hours and then put in fridge overnight for about 16 more hours.
(Forgot to mention that he also used the juice from 4 full lemons (fresh) when he left sitting overnight
The next day he removed all the plant matter and then squeezed out anything left in it
He then got a big pot with an electric hot plate and performed a water bath with another pot sitting in the bigger pot.
It took about 8 hours until the putty was formed..(it was actually more like 6.5g of actual dried mold able putty and about 17.4 gr of a thick molasses syrupy mix.

The temp for the hot plate was set at 190F. It was originally on 215 when first put on but once it came to a rolling boil it was immediately turned down to 180F for the remainder of the time. Also it was heated with water bath so the temperature should have lost some energy by the time it reached the concoction..

Once it was done he took about 1g of the putty the first day to test strength and he felt a very mild buzz. Maybe equivalent of 5mg perc. The next day he took about 3 gr of syrup and felt very light maybe like same 5mg perc. Then he tried taking 8gr with still a very slight effect (same equivalent 5mg perc)

Btw he said the syrup tasted like straight lemon and shit and the color was a dark brown. The putty was a lot darker in color.

It's pretty crazy because the tea works fantastic but the putty/syrup was a complete fail. He prefers the putty because the tea tastes horrible so the putty would be a more viable option..the syrup tastes like extra shit btw, even worse than the tea btw. He didn't want to boil it down all the way because it seemed like he would only be getting a total return of maybe 12g of pure putty if it were to be dried out.. And others claim the putty is the bomb..

Anyway I'm trying to find out what the hell he did wrong and how come the tea seems to work marvels opposed to the putty??

Any input would be greatly appreciated and I will relay the msg to him!!

Ouch. That post made my mu receptors hurt. All that prep work, and it was wasted due to a critical mistake: boiling. It never should have reached a rolling boil at all. The alkaloids are unstable at high temps. Next time, tell your "friend" to keep the temp warm, not boiling. A fan set on low to assist in evaporation is recommended, as is checking on the progress, making sure even heat is applied and nothing gets scorched in the process. As the tea gets more and more concentrated, heat should be gradually and carefully lowered as to avoid the putty from getting too hot and burning up the goodies.

Better luck next time.

i have a 1g a day heroin habit and the tea has never even worked for me either, is my tolerance too high? I have done it with both pods ordered online and pods grown in CA locally sourced from turkish purple poppy stock. Neither worked well. The only thing that worked from the pods was scoring them while still alive, harvesting the gum and eating about 2-3 grams of gum got me a nice medium buzz for a few hours. Smoking it had no effect, but then again, I stopped after smoking like .3 or .4 since nothing worked. Same effect with the gum when I sourced it while in Laos and smoking with locals, just too weak, I ended up getting a nice sized bag, an ounce lasted me about 2 weeks orally. never saw the poppies there though.
