POPPY SEEDS

[TheGreenPhantom]

I read on cokehead.s5.com that you can get high by soaking 300g of poppy seeds in water with the juice of 3 lemons for 10 minutes, simmering for 30 minutes (or until gooey), then drinking.
I want to know if anyone out there has done this and what the effects are... is it worth it?

Yes, I don't know if 300gs is enough, but poppy seeds do contain an extremely small amount of morphine in them. Which you can extract and get high off
Why in the hell would you do that though?
300 grams of poppy seeds.. man you could plant a fucking acre with that amount.

You want about 1 kg ( i have no idea what that is in pounds) then you boil water 'wash the seeds" add lemon jice , strain, add a packet of raro or tang or whatever & chug it down , it tastes like shit but does work IF if have the unwashed popppy seeds.
Easy peasy, not really going to get you high, but will ease any dope-sickness you may have....for a while.

Excellent reply, Oopz. It's nice to see a mod from a forum other than psyches or OD with intelligence for a change.
Yes, the bottom line is that the high from poppy seeds would be minimal at best and cost a fortune.
Like all things in life, when something seems to good to be true, it is.
If you were still desperate enough to try to get high from poppies, you could order the actual pods and make a tea out of them. But again, this is a lot of effort and a lot of money for a really minimal high.

It might be wrong but I think all of the poppy seeds available to bakeries and commercially are treated such that they cannot germinate ??? ... anyone know for sure ?? (& I had it in my mind that the method they employed to ensure this was irradiation ??) ... but interested to hear what other people have read / heard. I agree with everyone else - you would be better taking a panadeine (with 8mg codeine) than trying to get the same amount of opiate from poppy seeds !

I have to disagree. I am not going to post sources, but $8 worth of pods from a certain supplier has me nodding off for a good 3 hours, and itching like a mofo for another 5. If you like oral morphine then the pods aren't a bad deal. Yeah, it's more effort than eating a pill, but it isn't that hard to boil water and strain it. The high is good bang for your buck/effort but the euphoria is minimal to nonexistent.

Some are claimed to be bred to have little or no morphine content but I'm not sure of the veracity of that. In any case the likelihood is that if planted, they would grow (assuming you plant them at the right time of year and all that - they seem to like moderate cold to be spurred to sprout, and not warm weather, IME).

Thaks for the above Stardragon - very interesting and I have learnt something. I think in Australia however - we cannot germinate our poppy seeds ??
