Poppy seed tea - relative naive - 1st time: zero effect

[pstftw]

I decided to give poppy seed tea a shot yesterday, and was very disappointed with the results.

I bought two bulk bags of seeds from a local food market (NOT a grocery store). One bag had .44 pounds (roughly 199.4 grams) and the other had .49 pounds (222.3 grams).

A bit of background on my tolerance level:

- About 30mg of hydrocodone gets me feeling pretty good. Not "nodding" (I still don't know what that means - so I assume I'm not getting to that point), but feeling nice and euphoric and happy.

The last time I had any kind of opiate was about a month ago - 180mg of codeine. Prior to that, it had been about 2-3 weeks and I'd had 30mg of hydrocodone for a few days.

So yesterday first I started with the ~200g bag of seeds and used the following procedure:

- warm water
- shook for ~5 minutes
- drank 1/4 @ 5:10
- drank 1/2 of what was left @ 5:40
- drank rest @ 6:00

Results?
- zero noticable (pleasurabl) effects
- a little bit of fascillations (muscle twitches)
- maybe a MINOR feeling of well being (likely placebo)

So about 7:15 I realize this is going nowhere, so I mix up the other bag (220-ish grams of seeds) with a slightly different procedure after reading a thread on here:

- cold water
- shook for ~1-2 minutes
- drank 1/2 @ 7:40
- drank rest @ 8:05

In both cases, the taste wasn't "bitter" but more "musty". The smell and taste actually kind of reminded me of shrooms hehe.

Anyway, even after the 2nd round, nada. Although I woke up this morning with sort of the opiate "hangover", so I dunno.

So 10mg of morphine is equivalent to 16.67 mg of hydro, roughly, right? Which means I'd need to extract just short of 20mg of morphine.

I guess these seeds were just pre-washed (or weren't the right kind of poppies? do they sell non-opiate poppy seeds?)

I might try a different store today, but I'm kind of hesitant of either a) wasting my time or b) getting a massive dose like poppyseedtea.org and dying.

There are a lot of variables when it comes to poppy tea: potency/quality of the seeds, preparation methods, empty vs. full stomach, tolerance level, other drugs involved, mood, and personal body chemistry. If any one of these factors is off, it can ruin the whole experience.

I'm a pod user myself and am hesitant to suggest using seeds for a lot of reasons, such as widely varying potency levels, possible heavy metal content at high doses required to make tea, and the taste, which is worse than pods IMO. If it didn't work out this time, don't give up; just do some more research and try a different source/prep method next time. Of course, it's better never to start using opiates at all, especially ones like pods and seeds that are so cheap and easy to obtain.
