Poppy seed tea - Very experienced - killing my self slowly with a legal opiate

I have been using poppy seed tea sucessfully (sadly) now for over two years. This is my most recent experience with the tea. At 1.60 a pound it is a deal--3 dollars to get high, provided I already have bought some benadryl to take for the itching.

Lately i've been putting a whole lemon into the mixture and a drop of vodka. I leave it on the boiler for about a second till it gets hot and I strain the mixture as soon as possible--i've learned the longer you leave it soaking, the less potent and more disgusting the mixture. I put 3/4 cup sugar into the mix and put some kool aid into it to get rid of the nasty, oily taste that lingers over the palate.

Like every time I get high I promise myself this will be the last time (ha) and I ingest the delicious yet disgusting tea slowly. Since this method is more potent, i've found out having more than a cups full will make me throw up violently. It isn't as bad as getting really drunk, but still, i'd rather not throw up.

I feel a numbness all around my body like a warm blanket--nothing troubles me at all. A delicious protective fog I never want to escape from, my face gets blotchy; itchy, my pupils become pinpoints.

An hour or two pass and I have some more tea and it's really working in me now. I'm nodding really hard all night, I can't go to sleep yet i'm really tired by now. I lay in bed--and wake up in different spots around the house, ususally the bathroom, standing and sleeping at the same time. This is normal yet everytime it happens it scares the shit out me, and anyone else in the house--usually i'll be told I really need to get some help. The last thing I remember is waking up with an Ac adapter in my hand on someone elses bed for no apparent reason.

I end the night by smoking tons of weed and downing shot after shot of scotch. Things are ok, at least till i'm sober again. The tea last for more than a day or two--I get a small withdrawal, nothing too big. It's the horrible mental cravings and consequences to my emotional state that are difficult to handle.

Always use this stuff with care...
 
How many seeds do you use in your mix? Have you ever combined this with any other subtance beside weed & alcohol?

this is something i'm interested in trying...standing and sleeping at the same time...that is pretty scary tho...

thx for the report, stay safe!

I never use more than two pounds even when I have a tolerance. A pound is a good place to start if you have no opiate tolerance, but drink the stuff very slowly, it can take at least an hour to really kick in. Do a search to find more info--it's very easy to make and acquire if you can buy bulk. Don't bother if you can't get bulk, you might as well spend the money on real opiates if your going to spend that much.

I've never tried it with any other drug--except maybe coffee and nicotine--that potentiates it very nicely.

Yeah it is scary, but that's because I take a lot. If you keep the doses low you'll be fine. If you take too much you'll be nodding out everywhere--if you overdose you'll be vomiting and feeling mighty ill for quite a while.
 
yeah, tea is a bitch. sometimes late at night i am disgusted with myself for becoming addicted to it. then the next morning when i wake up and mix up some tea for my daily dose, i feel ok... like you said, wrapped up in a warm fog of 'don't give a fuck'.

will i ever have a life again free from opiates? i just don't know. i do know one thing... opiates have given me just about the only bits of happiness that i've ever had in my life, but at what price?
 
Tea + H was the death of my opiate fun for 5 years.... now my life revolves around visiting a clinic everyday for my daily dose of nasty red methadone syrup that doesn't do shit but make my w/d's go away.

Be careful of the poppy tea, legal morphine is hard to pass up, it tastes like shit, but absolutely great at the same time, I totally understand.

I was using *at least* 20oz (455g) of seeds daily (and I mean daily) for over a year straight, and not to mention H and/or OC alongside with it for the previous 4 years.

I found that the wholesale seeds REALLY sucked ass for potency. I found a nice store that basically sold the same "Spice Island" poppy seeds that you would buy in a regular grocery store for $3+ for a 28g bottle, except they sold 20oz (1 1/4lbs. or 455grams) tubs for $5.99, with the same logo as the small bottles that were supposedly more potent than 'bulk' or wholesale seeds. So I was getting a nice dose of morph for 6 bucks.

After finally finding some MSir 30mg toward the end of my fun, I found out that I would have to take at least 4 of those to feel the same effects from a "normal" dose of tea - one 20oz (455g) tub.

Something I have been thinking about -- Are the w/d's identical to heroin, since heroin breaks down into morphine?

So to all the tea drinkers out there, be safe and don't get too caught up with morphine. You will live to regret the "I am literally going crazy and never thought it would happen" feeling of withdrawl.

Be safe and Much Love
 
As much as you guys might hate me for saying this I'm really glad I get to read your bad experiences with poppy seed tea because I've done it in the past, usually between 1/2 - 1lb of seeds, and I love every second of it.

Now I'm back home from school in a foreign place where I've basically never lived, where I know nobody, where I have nothing to do or nowhere to go at anytime except for work. And I work at a bagel place where there is a HUGE bin of real strong poppy seeds that serve no purpose except for me to take them (the bagel maker is broken). Not to mention I live 5 minutes away from a store that has 100g packs for $1. I'd rather not find myself depending on the shit, but I couldn't see myself stopping it from happening. Except when I read your experiences. So uh, thanks guys!
 
Could you go into a little more detail with your preperation. I had always heard, longer soak = more potent. Also I heard sticking the seeds in a bottle of orange jiuce and then straining the juice through the threads with the lid slightly unscrewed was the way to go, for taste and potency.

malfunkshun the first time I have seen your avatar while I'm high, and it is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
 
I have always gone with the juice/straining method and I have found that soaking the seeds for more than even an a few hours at a time will decrease the potency. A full 24 hours and you've wasted everything!

My preperation is the same as everyone elses, except I will wait no longer than 10 minutes to strain. You should re-read what CretiNation said--1-2 hours is still a waste of morphine. Use a whole (very small) lemon and squirt some (like one slivers worth) grapefruit into the mixture before you add the water, which by the way should be hot (not boiling) this will help sap out the morphine a lot. The best part is you can re-use your seeds two or three more times and it will still be pretty potent. Be very careful if you do this though. Don't do your usual dose--you will throw up, and probably blame it on the taste of the lemon like I first did. I cut the dose to more than half and I got the same effects as I normally did--with tons of tea left over.

I would worship the man if it didn't go against everything he stood for.

Reading everyone elses post is scary--this stuff is definately addicting. Even more so I think, because no one else will really think it's that big a deal, I mean their just seeds after all. I've held myself off to true addiction because i'm unemployed and even 3 dollars is a cost to me--but every weekend, I can't help it, I have to have the stuff. I tell myself i'll start over on monday, get clean, get a job, but you know how that goes... my head is aching right now, and i'm so depressed, and god damn bliss is 3 dollars and a 5 minute walk away.

Oh well. I don't blame the seeds. I would be pissed that they cracked down on seeds or pods, even if I was clean.
 
Everyone who likes the poppy seed tea needs to try it with grapefruit juice. There's something in grapefruit juice that inhibits one of your liver enzymes (CYP-3A4). Long story short, that increases "abuse potential". It makes the high stronger and last longer (8hrs+).

I normally buy the frozen concentrate (supposedly the frozen grapefruit juice is made from the fruit and the peel which should increase the amount of enzyme inhibiting goodness).

All I do is put 3 cups of seeds in a large plastic bottle, cover with grapefruit juice, shake on and off for an hour or two, separate juice from seeds and consume. I'm not sure how much 3 cups of seeds weighs...
 
^^ thats interesting , how much would you say it boosts the high?

The taste of poppy seed tea makes my gag reflex kick in with every mouth full of that tea, honestly im not sure i can do poppy seed tea ever again just because it taste that bad.

At first the taste was alright but after 8 or 9 times i grew to hate that vile taste or that euphoria in a cup.

I can use the tea without getting dependent on it easily , opiates are good but weed is my drug of choice , but togather they make a great high , up there with the best.

Seeds around my way are potent , 300g puts me on a warm fluffy cloud drifting along the summer breeze without a care in the universe.
 
I can really say how much more it boosts the high, but it's enough for me not to use the poppy seed tea without grapefruit juice.

The grapefruit juice really covers up the taste of the tea as well. It doesn't taste good, but compared to kratom it seems like it does.
 
i used to used grapefruit juice all the time and felt the same way. But now just use hot water and a fat squirt of lemon juice. Then use TAGAMET for potentation. Like what for $4 you get 20 pills of tagamet vs. for almost the same price, ONE bottle of GF juice. just my 2 cents.
 
ok. i went and purchased .4 kilos of the stuff as im in canada and they dont use pounds. i was told .4 kilos is a pound, is this true? im hoping that i get a good buzz from these seeds if it is a pound.
 
that sucks so i have somewhere around 400 grams sitting in the bottle then. should that give a 270 pound guy a buzz??
 
Wow. THIS SHIT IS SO GOOD.

This is my first opiate experience of any kind. Havent even done opiate pain killers before.. the only way i can describe how i feel right now is just ..amazing..i cant wait to do more.. (which is bad im sure) warm blotchy face, extremely euphoric.. i understand totally how you can describe it as a warm blanket now..mm..so good..i feel so great i dont know what to do with myself..i cant wait to double the dose and try again tommorow. Woot.

im so happy i now understand what a low dose opiate experience is like - i cant wait to experience a nod..wow, that must be amazing...at the same time..ill never be able to say im an opiate virgin again and just from this one great experience ill crave it in the future - oh well, its worth this feeling IMO..

i still have a 2 litre bottle filled with seeds, can i reuse them? i think it was 3 times it said? if i can re use them i think ill go make another bottle of tea right now..
