Hey all,

I got 65 Extra Large Poppy Pods from this website PoppysPods. They werent he biggest ones they had; they were like the 3rd or 4th biggest and are like little golf balls--some a little bigger, some a little smaller.

I used to take 160-200mg of OC a today before judgement day (shitty OPS)... When these things came in the mail, I started by grinding 8 of these down and adding boiling water and letting it steep for 15. It hen filtered and drank.

It wasnt that bitter or horrible tasting at all... I was able to down it easily. Does this mean I got some weak ones with no alkaloids or something? 8 of them got me feeling kind of warm and fuzzy but nothing too serious. After it wore off, I did like another 7 and now I feel comfortable again but im not nodding or high like i was off the OCs.

Do you guys think I bought some off a source that isnt that potent, or is this normal? I even re-steeped the mash for a second infusion tea and drank that too.
 
Good pods generally are pretty bitter. And the resultant tea is pretty dark. But of course, that all depends on how much water you use.

Considering your tolerance and the number of pods you used for your first brew, I think you got decent pods. You can probably find better, but your tolerance is fairly high.

If my tolerance is at about 120mg of OC to feel good, not even close to nodding, I use about 6-8 pods to feel about the same. It's been a really long time since I've nodded on pods (by choice), but I think it would take about a 15 pod dose, maybe more.

But it's a totally different high from OC. It's warm and fuzzy, with rubbery-legs from the morphine from the more sedating pods I use. There are other pods that are less sedating but the characteristics of the high are the same.

But it will take you a long time to get used to the difference between the high of OC and the high of pods. I consider OC the most stimulating opiate out there. I consider pods to be one of the least stimulating. You may prefer OPs over pods.

You should also try eating the grounds. Grind them as fine as possible with a coffee grinder, then mix with juice and drink. The high is more stimulating (I think) and it lasts longer. You'll save money too.

Pods have long legs and they can be affordable. They're a hell of a lot less affordable right now because of the shortage. I'm not holding my breath to see whether the prices will come down after this either. The DEA is not being kind to pod farmers and vendors, and you should be aware before you develop a pod habit, that there's a good chance of pods drying up all together.

I consider it a matter of time, but that's just my opinion. There was a shortage in '06 because of weather and there's no question that weather affected this year's crops. But the busts in addition almost broke the camel's back.
 
firstly you will probably need more, i dont have much of an opi tolerance and sometimes use 8-10 pods similar size to what you described, secondly DONT USE BOILING WATER it will kill alot of the alkaloids, use like 60-70c, like a warm/hot tap but not boiling!
 
Water from the hot tap should be avoided when preparing food/drink. Bacteria (some of it quite nasty) grows in hot water heater tanks. Use 'cold' water and heat it instead.
 
hi guys really quick question, but the more pods you use, the more water needed? ive always used about 500ml, but this time im using 15 small/medium pods and think i might need 2 x 500ml and put half in each, this sound correct? i tried it earlier and the result was good, but it was so grounded it was like pod powder/mush absortbed alot of the water, it was so cramped up in there and not alot of water came out.

thanks.
 
Four years ago I first tried making the tea. Then I got the idea of just consuming all the grounds instead of just steeping it with hot water. I got much better results. I think making the tea is a waste of time, and efficiency. I grind the pods with a coffee grinder, mix it with some kool aid, the clear kind in the green packet(kiwi watermelon), and drink it all down. I've found it to be more potent, and nothing goes to waste, and its quicker to prepare. With consuming all the grounds you don't have to use as many pods. I've been doing it this way for the better part of four years. I always check for mold, or how clean the pods are inside, but other than that, I've had no health problems from doing it this way. This way is also probably more risky with overdose, and is more addictive with putting all the alkaloids in your body instead of throwing some away in the left over tea pulp. It doesn't taste as bad as the tea either. I can't see any reason to make the tea now that I do it this way.
