This report is a summary on 2 different types of poppy seeds used to make tea. I could not find any info on these seed type myself, so I decided to go about the experiment to find out. I must note, I have been on 10mg hydrocodone 4X daily for about 1 month for shoulder pain, so a little tolerance to opiates has built.

I recently came across white poppy seeds. They were in 400g bags and were only $4.99. Sounded like a deal to me since the only regular (greyish) ones were at cheapest $1.00 for a 28g bottle (F--- That!). Later I found 576g bottles of the regular ones for $5.45 at a bulk food store that I would have never thought of, I will discuss these later in the report. Anyways, here is the story:

So, I did the first hand research and bought the white seeds. I made the tea with a blender, some grapefruit juice and water. I let it run for a few minutes and let it soak. I repeated this about 4 times.

immediately I noticed a white color to the solution after blending the first time. I strained the seeds through an old tee-shirt into a bowl, then into a tall cup. This was about 750ml of solution.

Down the hatch!
5:00 pm

This tasted very sweet and absolutely disgusting. The texture was horrible, very thick. I could not drink the entire solution, only a couple gulps, then wait a few minutes to take a couple more. I managed to drink a little more than half of the tea, blech! I poured the rest of the garbage into the sink.

By 6:00, I only had a mild buzz and my stomach wasn't happy with me at all, but not unbearable. By 7:00 it had not grown in intensity very much, in fact, I was very disappointed. I waited until 9:00 and decided I got all I was going to get, so I took 10mg of hydrocodone (for my shoulder). Not even 25 mins later, I noticed a very nice high even with a moderate tolerance to hydrocodone. I do not know if this was from the tea or just my brain wanting that feeling. I smoked a bowl from my bong and laid back.

Just another normal vicodin buzz, but a little different, more relaxed. I did not consider this a success, my shoulder was still hurting, but I had not abandoned the idea yet.

-------------------

A week later, I came across as mentioned above, 576g bottles for about the same price as the white ones. I also read how pineapple juice works great for the taste.

So, I picked up a bottle of seeds and a bottle of juice, also picked up a food chopper, processor - advised by someone else here at BL. I got home and mixed my seeds and juice to a 100ml to 100g ratio. This made a nice, not too watered down mix. I used about 280g of the seeds for the experiment.

After mixing and soaking and straining, I ended up with a completely different solution. It looked like the juice I put into it, but as soon as I let the solution set for about 5 mins, it would separate into 2 sections, the top looked thin and watery, the bottom looked thick and murky, but little color difference other than slightly darker.

This pleased me more than the previous attempt with the white frothy stuff. I tasted it, it was sweet and tasted like juice! I expected the stale/sweet taste I had got with the white seeds.

I drank this with great ease, as it did not taste like ass.
5:00pm (again)

At 6:00 I was definitely feeling high, but by 7:00 I was blown, felt very rubbery and heavy. I had one of the worst case of itchies and scratchies ever! My nose ended up getting rubbed raw, the itch was worse than OC from what I remember.

I thought to myself - hmmm, 10mg of hydrocodone might be nice with this... So I did, heh heh :).

This time, after I took the vicodin, I noticed an extreme uplift in the high, lots of euphoria, and way itchy. I think this kinda extended the morphine peak a little, but felt great. Still though, my shoulder hurt. I didn't let this bother me though, I was used to it and could deal with it. I just sat back and watched some TV with a cheesy grin on my face. I drifted off into sleep around 10:00pm.

Conclusion:

I must mention that morphine has an unusual effect on dreaming with me, I always dream more clearly and can recall many more things that happened as well.

I consider the second trial a success, and a good one indeed. But remember, if you see those nasty ass white seeds, do not use them!!! I will stick with the other ones that actually work :).

That is about it for now, have fun and be safe!

Much Love
 
Awesome report mate! It's great to see people getting a good buzz from these seeds, they are very underated imho :)

I am yet to come across the white seeds, I shall avoid them at all costs if I do.

Thanks for sharing that with us :) and good luck with ya shoulder getting better!


ps: does'nt pineapple juice make it sooo much more tolerable?
 
Thanks for the reply,

I came upon this idea more or less, because of how difficult it is anymore to get pain relief when you need it most. I hoped this tea would help in that aspect, but it hasn't done a whole lot for my shoulder pain (maybe a stronger batch :)). I get to see a physiatrist (pain specialist) tomarrow, and hopefully get the problem taken care of without all the hydrocodone, or maybe something different for pain. From what I understand, my treatment will consist of injections into my shoulder of hydrocortizone/lidocane and additional physical therapy. Don't get me wrong, I love my opiates, but this is too much, I just want the hurt to go away...

Oh yeah I have now tried grapefruit and pineapple, and pineapple is still MUCH MUCH more tolerable than grapefruit.

Much Love
 
Good luck with your pain mate, I hope all goes well and they find something to help you :)

Cortisone may help :) My mate was getting injections of it for his wrists when he came off his motorbike and that really helped the inflamation alot until he could get an operation.

All the best mate!

Take care :)
 
morphine has always been a great potentiator of hydrocodone for me, it makes the actual hydro euphoria last for several hours, as opposed to just a couple. also, when i did my poppy seed experiment, i had a hellacious toothache (this was admittedly part of my reason for doing it, although i love getting high on opiates) and my toothache totally went away. i also noticed a difference when using grapefruit juice instead of water, grapefruit juice potentiates opiates... but its hard to tell with poppy tea because it can vary from batch to batch.
 
Thanks malfunkshun, I appreciate the reply, and yeah, I went and got nice and high, sorry if I sounded too bitchy in that PM. I just felt like expressing my thoughts...
