Opioids Poppy Pods advice----- Hen and chicks, Giganteum

[Seattle_Stranger]

I overdosed on poppy pods and my kidneys ended up shutting down because of the effects of the drug. I almost died and if they didn't do a kidney test I definitely wouldn't be here today. I can't believe how lucky I am.

I took too much and ended up unconscious. One thing I can recommend is if you do take pods make sure you lie on a bed and not the hard floor - it can save your life. Put a mattress on the floor so if you fall off the bed you don't fall onto the hard floor as well. People harp on and on about how opiates are non toxic and it's the lifestyle and addiction, blah blah blah. They give the impression that if the respiratory depression doesn't kill you or cause brain damage your body can't be damaged. Well this is very misleading and I paid the price. I couldn't walk properly for months and my left foot still feels strange to walk on. It gives the same sort of sensation you get when someone scratches a chalkboard - it's a very unpleasant feeling. I have to wear socks and slippers or shoes at all times now because of it.



I was not new, no. I wasn't addicted but had a big tolerance. I wasn't using seeds, I was using pods. If I was using seeds the dose would have had to have been too large. The amount of pods I was using was huuuuge. I was gluggling down litres of this foul tasting liquid that I would almost invariably throw up. It was disgusting and would take hours each day just to prepare. I bought them from a certain online auction site too, if you can believe it. I won't say where though.

It's cool of you to show your concern for the OP's health and safety, however, this situation you just explained here sounds like quite a special case. Litres of it? What was your average dosage of pods by weight? I used to dose on ~20g of ground up poppy straw, steeped and filtered into a tea, sipped over the course of a half hour, and I would repeat this every couple of days for several months. I never remember getting even close to feeling unconscious or out of control of my body, it was never more than a mild pleasant, warm, VERY long lasting opiate buzz. I cannot imagine how much you must have been using to get to that point..

The honest answer would be I don't know what my dose was because it was so long ago. However when I switched to methadone substitution therapy my methadone dosage ended up being 60mg.

The problem with poppy pods is that you can get used to using a particular amount and then one day when you get a new batch, possibly even from the same vendor, and bam, the potency is much stronger and you OD. I know because it happened to me.

Unfortunately it's not the same as being given a medically supervised consistent dose of opiate drug so it can be very dangerous indeed.

edit: as for the volume, I said litres but it was probably one or two large cafetiers full of liquid. I don't know what volume that is but since it's foul tasting whatever the amount, glugging it all down is difficult and incredibly nauseating.

But the dose is less important, as novice users are just as prone to ODing IMO.

I thought the whole point of growing poppies was to slit them and harvest and then smoke the sap? My impression is that there must be significant amounts of alkaloids in the stem and other parts of the plant then, yes?

So a question, if you did just harvest the sap to smoke how many poppy plants would be needed for one dose?

Cheers

Good day peoples, I'm new to this forum so go easy on me!

I am going to make some poppy tea and was looking for some advice. I would like to be able to have 2-3 doses and would not need any more for a while.

I can either buy a stash of 30 hen and chick pods(no weight available) or 0.5kg of Giganteums.

I have done a lot of research and it seems the hen and chicks would be my best option as they seem more potent,

The problem I face, is that I don't know where to start with dosage. I know it varies massively from pod to pod, but I see a lot of people saying 2-3 poppy heads is a medium dose and others saying they take 20-30 pods ( assuming each pod was a gram) is a low-mild dose with hens and chicks.

I would not like to waste my time and money (which i am strapped for) and not even get a good dosage or high.

I have taken very high dose codeine every other day until about 4 weeks ago for 2 weeks, is 6 ft 4 and weights 140 pounds But no other opiates have been used. I also currently take Citalopram an SSRI which shouldn't have a negative effect at all.

Would love it for someone to give first hand experience with hen and chicks pods and what dosages they took and what their experience was like


Peace

Mate, this is the big danger with teas and pods. You DONT know the dose your getting...EXTRACT for safety, know your dose!! Pods can vary enormously depending on strain, weather, good or bad year, its endless!!
