Why hello there bluelight, I just registered to comment on a blue lotus thread and saw this cute little thread here and felt like I should contribute. I have made PST 100s upon 100s of times and would like to offer my expert opinion on the subject. I will include what I believe to be the most simple and efficient way to make PST.
Firstly, I must address the reference of
http://poppyseedtea.com/ This is misleading. Most depressents are fairly hard to OD on by themselves, PST even more so due to the fact that you have to drink tons of liquid. The person from this site had a number of other depressents in their system, including BENZODIAZEPINES. It would be more appropriate to say PST mixed with other downers kills To be fair though, I have gotten to the point where my breathing was so labored that I thought that if I stopped moving I might pass out, not breath, and die a few times. This was back when I had some of the post ghetto poppy seeds I have ever seen (with starw mixed in) plus a very small tolerance. So, be careful, but honeslty, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Unfortunately now I have worse source and typically make PST with 3.5 lbs of seeds. This keeps me normal and keeps them cravings at bay. I occasionally use OxyContin TM (my drug of choice, preferably 80s, but have been stuck with the 20s lately). Anywho, when I use it I usually rail 60 mgs and get a damn good high, but don't really nod unless decently potentiated. This is to give you an idea of where my tolerance is it. As an aside, any oxycodone I've snorted that was not namebrand OxyContin has been a waste, better to just eat it.
Anywho, here's how I do it.
First, start out with a gallon jug of water. I make this on the go sometimes (start with water then add the seeds because of this which is more due to the conditions in which I make the tea), so I just buy one and dump out water until the correct amount is it the bottom (I've done this so damn much I eyeball it, sorry) Basically, you're going to want just enough water so that it covers the seeds and when you adds the seeds and shake the jug with everything in it, you notice that the seeds swish around in the water instead of being merely clumped up.
Next you will need a funnel. If you have a funnel, great. If not, grab to sheets of printer paper or something equivalently stiff, and make a cone out of the and tape it together. You will the want to cut off the bottom just enough so the seeds don't clog up the funnel, but it can rest nicely in the top of the jug of water.
Now poor the seeds in (most of you will probably add water after this, unlike me, for instructions on that, see above). Also feel free to add a little lemon juice or grapefuit juice to change the pH to more ideal level. (not much, just poor it in for a few seconds)
Here is where I differ, and what I feel is the best way to do this part. You want to shake the jug for 3-5 minutes. No more. The longer you do this, the more crap you will get in the mix that can make you sick to your stomache. Most people I've made tea for have puked off of it (especially when I let is sit for 10-20+ minutes). Basically, all the latex is washed off the seeds almost immediately after giving it a good shake. I honeslty really only do this for 3 minutes and I feel that is a few minutes longer than necessary. Trust me on this step, the unique nausea that occompanies this stuff is not pleasant and the only real way to deal with it is to puke.
Now, grab some rubber bands and some sort of cloth. I generally use a t-shirt, but currently am using panty-hose which seem very nice for this job. Tightly bind the cloth onto the rim of the jug and squeeze all the liquid out. I would now add a decent amount of grapefruit juice to the mix and take it with benadryl and DXM if you are so inclined.
The reason for taking benadryl it is an anti-histamine. The reasoning behind taking DXM (something I have just today began experimenting with, so take this bit with a grain of salt) is that I have been doing some research and it seems that DXM may prevent the formation of tolerance. My assumption is that this is related to DXM being a N-methyl-D-receptor antagonist which means that it helps with the withdrawals and cravings for opiate, as well as pretty much every other major highly addictive drug (I did a very well done research paper about NMDA receptor antagonist for an intro psych course, ketamine and ibogaine are also such).
