Well, it would seem, the tempting box of 'extra large' poppy pods got the better of me today.

After having merely just sampled them in yesterdays test run, we will be trying for their full potential today.

Note: I am 220 pounds, which may or may not play a big role in the amount I consume.

Onward!

5 huge pods were picked out of the box

Weighed on a crappy analog scale to 30grams (+/- 5 grams)

Pods were broken apart, stem, knuckle/knob, and crown removed. Then these broken bits were placed into the corner of a Tyvek mailer envelope from the post office, tucked into the corner tightly, evelope folded around, then vigorously stomped on. This actually made a very fine dust of most of the pods, with only a few dime size bits left.

About 1-1/2 cup of water was put into a pyrex measuring glass and microwaved for five minutes. (water boiled)

The ground pod was then added to the pyrex glass, stirred, and covered with a plate to help retain heat.

7:07pm-7:57pm- Pods left to soak. Stirred three of four times through-out that time frame.
Also, a couple beers were drank while the pods soaked.

8:00pm- Pod filtered off with t-shirt into a large coffee cup. Twisted and squeezed to get every last drop :)

8:02pm-8:05pm- About 2/3 of the cup gulped down. Going to give this a few and go from there.

8:10pm- decided "fuck it" and gulped the last of the liquid down........

8:20pm- slight 'head change' feeling setting in..... slight muscle relaxation also creeping up, at a pretty moderate pace

8:25pm- eye response getting pretty slow now...... that warm relaxing glow/heavy feeling is starting to pulsate from mid arms and legs at the joints........

8:30pm- heavy relaxed feeling spreading more....getting stronger, spreading down the arms now....legs to a bit...... going to crack a third beer and go outside and smoke a cig....

8:43pm- feeling good now.......still not as stong as I figured from this much pod, but I'll give it little while still before making that decision......although a bit stronger than yesterday's experiment, I was hoping to catch more of a heavy nod.
I think I'll go lay down a bit, enjoy the feeling and catch some TV..........

9:26pm- Overall the high only became slightly stronger.....nice body feeling, heavy head....

Have to say im dissapointed though, for the amount taken, I do feel I should be much more inebriated.....

Maybe a longer soak time would have helped?

The rest of the pods will be weighed, ground, and soaked in grain alcohol for a week in order to be used as some putty. If results are not improved from this method, a different supplier will be used in the future.
 
Try using a food compresser, coffee grinder, or blender to make the pods into a fine dust. I use to just stomp on my pods until they were broken up pretty well. Then started using a blender to ground up the pods to a fine dust, it made a HUGE difference. Much stronger batches of tea than the same pods just crushed on.
 
nice to read another pod report up here as im a avid pod user.

how often you use? 5 pods isnt that much, reasonable high for low tolerance. im a daily user but even i can bring my dose down to 5 or 6 pods at times.
 
I use about 3 times a week, not consecutively.

This causes a mild tolerance, but taking a week off here and there remedies that.

Opiates are something that I find very enjoyable, and I know getting dependent on them would ruin it. I dont seem to have any problem controlling use, so its like a match made in heaven :D
