Poppy Pod Tea, Review of Experince

I know this may sound like a trip report but I thought I would share my first poppy pod tea exp with you all.

T- 0:00 Measured 5 grams of dried poppy pods on a scale which ended up being 4 medium size pods. Ground them up with a coffee grinder and added 2 250mg Vit C tabs. Boiled 1 cup of water and then turned the heat to low and added powdered pods.

Boiled for 20 mins then strained into glass using cheese cloth tea strainer. Took the left over mush and boiled again for 20 mins with an additonal 1 cup of water and 2 more Vit c tabs.

Strained second serving and added to first. Restrained tea once more and added 2 packets of sugar to it.

Prep time about 50 mins. Over the course of the next hour sipped concoction until almost done.

T +:20 Start to feel the same type of vicodin high. The taste is terrible and had to continuie to drink soda just to kill the taste. Tastes like wet straw which may not sound bad but its horrid.

T + :45 Have a good opiate buzz going but feeling a bit queezy from the mixture. I have no opiate tolerance so the effects are quiet noticable. Have to chase the taste down with malox.

T + 1:30 Feeling very floaty, much like one would feel with 4 percocet 10 mg's pills. It starts to feel a bit much for me and I lay down.

T +2:00 The high is peaking, very strong effect now, not enjoyable at all because I wasnt prepared for the power. Seeing how I have seen comflicting reports as to measurements, I thought 5 grams would be a safe bet. Regreting not starting with 1/2 as much.

T +3:00 High still going strong, but no itchyness I get with opiate pain killer pills. Feels very heavy though, large body load. Feel very dizzy and tired. Had a mini anxiety attack from the power of the brew.

T +5:00 High begins to come down. Feeling pretty sick at this point. My bad back however was feeling much better. :D

T +7:00 Still feeling lingering effects of poppy tea. Pretty lightheaded and sick to my stomach.

All in all I would say it was a negitive experince. It does work, maybe too good, but I believe it is very difficult to get the right amount of pod needed without some testing. Another thing I noticed is I didnt get the euphoric feeling that you would get with enough pills, but just a body high. Then again the anxiety may have played a part in that. I defintly dont think I will be doing this experiment again.

Well great, I'm happy you got high. This does sound a lot like a trip report, probably because it is, and the way you share your experience with us all is by posting it in the trip reports forum.
 
Nice trip report. :)

This post will be moved to Trip Reports soon, I would imagine.

How the hell was that a ass comment your freaking out l0ser BIG L.

oh yeah, but really nice trip report.
 
I thought it more of a how too rather than a TR since it really isnt all that exciting of a TR.
 
From what I heard from a couple of other posters here the Vit C tabs have absorbic acid which helps in releasing the morphine and codine alkoloids. Not sure if this is true or not. Dont think i want to try it again. Although I am curious about making the brew then drying it out. Scraping the resin and smoking it. Not sure if this has been done or not.
 
Just goes to show you that one should start small with a new substance and work their way up. Sorry you underestimated the strength of pods, they can be more powerful then people give them credit for.

Also, the Vitamin C converts the morphine freebase into a water soluble salt so it dissolves easier

Where did you ever hear anything like that? If you have a source I would be mighty interested in reading it, logic does not dictate its truth though. Morphine is already plenty water soluable, five times moreso in hot then cold water. And even if the above were true, it would not matter about 'releasing' the Codeine, as less then 2% of the overall mixture of Opium is comprised of it.

It still surprises me that 5g of dried pods had this much of an effect on you, it leads me to believe you have very little to no opiate tolerance or very potent pods, probaly a mixture of both.

Yea I read some sites state 1-3 good size poppies for new users which is about 4-5 grams. I saw a couple of sites state 10-15 grams min to get desired effect. So I thought 4 pods, about walnut shape size, measured 5 grams dried would be ok. It didnt "knock" me out, but was just a lot more than I was anticapating. I wasnt expecting it to act as strong as it did. You are right, I have 0 opiate tolerance so it hit me harder then someone that does. I guess it would feel comprable to about 30-40mg of perc's.
 
Yea I had Kidney stones awhile back and they gave me percs. After about 2 weeks on them I could do 30 mgs. I would nod but not completley out. But I havent done opiates in a long time. So I guess maybe it felt like 10-15mgs of percs with someone with zero opiate tolerance. Its hard to pin point.....its like I wanted to nod a little but I was still coherant...you know what I mean??

Pods can make ya nod. But they can also make ya kinda up and jittery. When you make PT you get alot of all the stuff that is in the pods, not just morph and codine. And you can stay high from pops for a long time . And you can become addicted to them too. And it ain't any fun w/ding from them at all. Nothing I know of makes the taste palatable. Honey and lemon juice sort of helps a bit. And the potency definitly varies from time to time.
 
I just cant bring myself to drink that shit again. I dont care how much lemon juice or honey I add it still tastes worse than ass. Too bad you cant just boil out the water, scrap the resin and put it in a capsule and swallow. But I highly doubt that would work either.

I think its better I just deal with my back pain naturally....whine and moan a lot.
 
^ ^ Of course that would work. Why do you think it won't? Any tea can be boiled down to a solid and scraped up. Might require more than one capsule though...

More than likely by boiling till you got to a condensed enough solution to evaporate easily you'll have broken down all the morphine from the pods (the codiene should be fine). But if you boil the tea for any time at all your likely to do the same.

My method of prep:

Take desired ammount of pods 3-25g depending on tollerence, experience and quality of pods.

Grind to powder

Put pod grounds in french press with lime juice, a teabag and a tablespoon of honey.

Boil water but dont pour over grounds immedietly, let sit for about 5 mins to cool down.

Pour water over pods/lime/honey and stir rapidly for another 5 mins.

Press the thing so none of the bits of pod are floating in your beverage.

Drink whilst still warm (I tend to find it tases MUCH worse if it gets cool).

Have fun!

You're right, I guess it should work. I was even thinking about putting it in a pan of water and on low heat to evaporate te wate slower. I was just worried that by letting sit over heat for too long would either evaporate the morphine and codeine alkoloids or break them down.

I think I might try that some time and report back to weather it works or not.

Regardless of what you do to your tea, it will never taste really good.

Haha! Oh Yeah? Why don't you drink a strong cup of it daily for 2 weeks and then go cold turkey?

Trust me. That makes it taste pretty good. ;)
 
BTW, not to preach, but for anybody who's new to opiates and thinking about experimenting, do yourself a favor and read some of the posts in the Addiction and Recovery forum at the place for Somnifiles before you decide to 'experiment'. I was already an opie addict long before I got involved with tea, but there's a lot of good reading material there.

Tea is extremely addicting and nothing to screw around with unless you can either keep it under control (of course we can all keep it under control, can't we) or you don't mind having to keep a steady supply of pods around. Trust me, the WDs can be VERY bad and can be worse than from pharmies in my opinion.

It's easy to start out as a 'weekend warrior' and next thing you know, you've got a daily habit. Just be careful folks.

part of the TR concept is to show drug use "in context", and how to's of this manner are quite welcome :)
