I know what you are thinking, not another post about Poppy Seed Tea (pst), but for me, the tea effects me in a different manner then others I have read about, so this is why I decided to post. Also, no bellyaching about letting the 'secret' out, it is out and has been for some time, and though it is a lot harder to find good seeds nowadays, plenty can still be found, you just have to look. Now on with the show...

I have been an opie addict for more then 6 years now, and recently went through a 21 day Methadone detox, successful, about 10 days before this experience took place. I am not done using yet, but I done being physically dependent on Opium. I have tried every drug out there, but nothing compares to the effects that Mother Opium provide me. I have been doing seeds only for the last two plus years, and don't remember exactly when I had Poppy Pod Tea,(ppt), because if you find good seed stock, the effects of pst vs ppt are identical, and seeds being easily found on the shelves 24/7, well, it does not take a scientist to understand why I prefer seeds.

Amount of seeds used was 5 pounds, as I wanted to get as high as I could, without the possibility of Od'ing, and it is a REAL possibility. I would estimate that the seeds I have are equal to about 160-180mg of Oral Morphine in strength, for 4 pounds, so I knew with 5, I would be taking in about 200mg of Morphine, and I was comfortable with that amount, having taken much more then that before. Please, please, ALWAYS test a new batch of seeds before you go for the gold, as you really have no idea how strong they will be judging by their looks, taste, smell, or color of the liquid that comes from washing the Opium off the outside of the seeds.

Zero hour: Empty stomach, 11am, and I begin to drink over a quarter gallon of the bitterest tea I have ever tried. Usually a good sign of potency, but one can never tell.

T+0:05- I can already feel the come-up. A feeling of warmth begins in the deep part of the belly, and begins to slowly radiate towards my legs and arms. This is some strong tea indeed!

T+0:15- Greater effects being to become evident. The center of my head, towards the front feels heavy, and if I let it, it wants to pitch forward ever so slightly. The timber of my voice deepens, a slight body buzz makes itself known.

T+0:30- My tea is finished by now, and effects are still building. My vision sharpens to the point that I can see fairly clearly without my glasses, and I have a strong prescription. Normally I cannot be still without my glasses on, but at this point, I would not care if I lost them or not.

T+0:45- The skin of my upper chest begins to flush. Nothing too dramatic, but it happens only the times I get a good dose, so I know I am in for a real ride this time. At this point, the mental effects are quite pronounced as well. Worries of the day, week, and month disappear like whispy clouds on a bright day. Nothing can get me down now, and I feel like I am really 'home'. Back at a happy time in my childhood, my Mother's warm embrace envelopes me, and I feel a kind of membrane of euphoria covering me head to toe.

T+1:00- Things are really rocking now, that slight body buzz in the beginning is now such a comforting feeling, that it almost feel like I am coming up on MDMA. Tactile sensations are very pleasurable, such as walking with shoes off, or lying on our soft and large couches. Any pain that I had in my body is now gone, replaced by a unique, and pleasurable, numbness all over. My muscles also become slack, but if I had to work, I could turn around all this pleasure energy I am receiving, and make back-breaking work seem like nothing.

T+2:00-3:00- Now this is where things get different for me beyond the typical effects of opie pills of any kind. If I close my eyes, which is very easy to do, I slip into a semi-awake state, not quite a nod, but almost there, I then concentrate on nothing, and the mind movies begin. I see fractural patterns everywhere, lazily rotating this way and that, similar to what one would see on LSD or Mushrooms, but the speed of the visions never go past a certain point. Second gear I call it, they pace themselves, I have no control over it unlike with LSD.

Muted colors of purple, greens, and blues are seen behind my closed eyelids, and some animal shapes begin to form. It is never anything common, such as a housecat or horse, but always some exotic beast, like a Jaguar or Elephant. I have never seen any 'entities' while under the effects of Opium, but I do feel a strong connection to the plant, and the plant world in general while high on it. It seems I can almost understand what the plants are hearing, feeling, and seeing, but this never occurs until later in the trip. I firmly believe that Opium is a true Psychedelic, but for most people, to reach that point they also reach coming close to an OD, so sadly for many, no one in large numbers will ever get to see how far Opium can take them.

I am also full of energy at this point, almost feeling like I have had a couple of cups of strong coffee, and yet I can sit perfectly still, with no jittery feelings. This stimulating feeling fades around the 5-6 hour mark.

T+3:00-5:00- My mind feels clean and open, as if I could walk up to a stranger and have a deep, meaningful conversation with them, and remember it later. My body is completely relaxed, and lifting heavy objects, 100 pounds or more, is a chore, and best avoided at this point. My face is warm and slightly flushed, and I desire not food, drink, or companionship. It is not as if I cannot eat, indeed food tastes fully alive when under the effects of pst, and something as simple as drinking a soda becomes an event, being able to feel every single bubble go down my throat, the coolness covering my insides, and washing out to my skin. Really the only thing that is not pleasurable on Opium is being in bright Sunlight, as my pupils get so constricted, that unless I have sunglasses on, it is uncomfortable to see the light.

T+6:00- 10:00- Euphoria is still strong at this point, but sadly the fractural patterns begin to fade after about 6-7 hours. I will still be high beyond the 10 hour mark, but mostly all I feel is a pleasant afterglow, that will last until around 20-22 hours. When I do finally make it to bed, my dreams are often not remembered, which is contrary to what most people have said. Normally, and for the first few years, Opium would give me very intense dreams, wild landscapes populated by bizzare plant and creatures would be the norm, but not anymore. I only dream when awake now, and that is fine with me.

I hope you enjoyed reading this report, and please do tell me if you also get any of the other non-typical effects that I do. I feel the Opium Poppy is a plant to be heavily respected, because if you treat her wrong and abuse her, she will unleash a Hell upon you of the like you could never think of in your worst nightmares. Occasional use of Opium, in all its forms, once a week at most, will keep you from physical addiction, but mental dependence can easily occur with any amount of use, so please be careful. BTW, I only stir my seeds with warm water for 60 seconds in a t-shirt, then do a single rewash, as this is all that is needed. Cold water can also be used, but near boiling or very hot water should be avoided, as all it does is cause the seeds to soak up water, and release oils that you don't need to be taking in.

Have fun, and be safe!
 
Wow it sounds like you get the most out of your PST.

I have tried PST twice now but I never got anything from it. I was told to be careful of OD so I only used 500g of seeds, it tasted horrible and basically just made me feel sick from the taste.

I am planning on making it into a smokable form next time (I hear you add weak acid, semi freeze, filter then boil it down to a precipitate). That way I can forget about the taste and having to drink 3 litres of water which puts me off taking it in the first place.

I'll give it another go this weekend.
