Poppy tea is the fucking devil

allover said:
For all you poppy tea drinkers, how does poppy tea add up to oxycontin snorted or heroin (black tar) smoked? I'm looking for a comparison of the strength and effects of the high. A brief summary will do, thanks.

Can't speak for Black Tar heroin, but poppy tea is considerably longer-lasting than oxycodone. The tea high is also considerably more sedating, in my experience: the tea "body buzz" and warm fuzzies are equal to if not superior to Oxycodone.

On the down side: poppy tea tastes like fermented cat piss, gives me a sour stomach and completely suppresses my libido. Because the high is long-lasting, so is the recovery time: if you get good and nodding on PPT on Saturday night, you may still be hurting on Monday morning.

As far as "strength" goes: how much oxy are you snorting at one time?
 
Its pretty obvious something besides the morphine is either interfering with morphine metabolism, or in some other fashion is causing real WD from tea to not even kick in until 36-48 hours after the last dose.

Listen I am a pod tea addict right now, and here is my advice for WD:

Taper, Taper, Taper......

You don't need a hard schedule, get down to two doses a day. Then to one dose a day, its very easy because of the insane half life.
Now when you are at one dose a day start reducing the amount of pod powder you are using, it might actually be helpful to go by number of pods to keep yourself from "cheating". When you are able to get down to one pod a day order yourself some medium tan oval pods, experienced tea drinkers will know what I mean here these are really weak. From there keep tapering.

You will need some generic loperimide for the shits, I also recommend a change of pace to distract yourself.
 
for me the body load is very heavy. before I even start to feel high my limbs get real heavy like I just did a shot of hydromorphone. then the warmth spreads out from my chest outwards. it is very very sedating.

if you make the pod putty you only have to take about 4grams and it fucks with the GI much less.
 
Honestly I have never noticed any GI problems aside from the INSANE constipation, never any sour stomach or anything. I can't stress how severe the constipation is though.
 
why the fuck do people say pods have a long half life?
It's the morphine that gives you the desired high, and the half life is not gonna change, morphine is morphine.
The other crap might last a while though, but do they feel opiate-ish?

someone enlighten me please!
 
For those of you saying that pod tea W/D is so bad, why not switch to another opiate and withdrawl, I've withdrawled from a lot of opiates and I've found fent to be the worst of all. Pod tea is mainly just morphine and codiene that you withdrawling from, it's so dumb when people list all these other chemicals like thebaine, Thebaine is toxic, it doesn't get you high. I mean it really depends on your habit, are you drinking the salts of 30-40 pods, if you have a 15-20 pod habit and your not new to W/D's you won't find it that diffult. I find a high dose of oxy to be much harder to kick then 15-20 pods a day.

Someone who has never had pods, or someone who has abstained for a long while will still be nodding on a strong dose 12+ hours post ingestion.

Those who are addicted can dose once every 24 hours without feeling a bit of sick, its pretty easy to go 48 hours as you're just starting to feel WDs.

Are you going to tell me plain oral morphine can do that?

I'd like to hear from someone who has had oral opium, I wonder if it also lasts so long.
 
My theory is there's some other chemical in the opium that inhibits morphine's metabolism, thus extending the effects of poppy tea. The high itself lasts at lest 12 hours.

The withdrawals from poppy tea, for me at least, are not alleviated even by heroin. Bupe works great, though (at least for me).

IMO good pods absolutely blow oxy away and are about equal to heroin in feeling. I find them more euphoric than oxy, and MUCH longer lasting. Once I had a tolerance to oxy, the high lasted like 3 hours. With pods, it's at least 12 hours and just feels better in every way.

yes, but that won't be because of the morphine then... It's all the enzyme magic and other stuff going on when you ingest pods. People say pods=morphine, which is not true. It contains morphine, yes, but i believe morphine is not what makes a pod-tea characteristic!

People just make it sound like it's the morphine that gets you high 24/7... If you'd ingest the same amount of morphine that is in pods, without all the other alkaloids, you're most likely just get a buzz for a coupple of hours, if anything. So there is a lot more to pods then just morphine.

Grow your own pods to make tea to compliment your other opiates. In that case, it doesn't matter if the strain contains morphine or not. Just drink it for all the other stuff in it, when popping your Oxy 40mgs... In theory, that should produce similar effects, and can be done so easily.

No, strangely.

It still lasts a long time (5-9 hours usually, depending on if one has eaten beforehand), but there's something unusual about tea from dried pods.....

Have you ever done Opium?

well, the "other crap" is kind of like.....

a perfect natural synergy.


More things to enjoy at once, however, means more things to be addicted to.
 
i said "other crap" cause i had no other word for it, i didn't mean it to be negative ;) The formulation is like god's own recipie for perfection.

And yes, i have done opium. Both the one that i bought and the one that i grew myself, later one feeling more "natural" than the bought one. Maybe because i just put a lotta love in these plants :)

To answer your question I've done tens of thousands of dollars of oxy in the past couple years. Anything from small bumps oxy to such much I'm nodding in and out while sitting on the toilet trying to piss.

Damn, after reading these posts on pods it makes me really want to try em out. From what little I've read it seems ebay is the best way to go, or are there sites out there to buy on (don't source, just say ebay or other site, I can take it from there).
 
^^ Nothing is ever the right way to go, get that out of your head if it's in reference to drugs.

Listen, pods have such terrible withdrawal, they aren't worth it.

What the fuck do I know though? I'm just a fucking benzo-head.
 
ohh please poppy tea is fine as long as used in moderation. it can help with pain and what not, gives good releif, as long as you dont over do it man. i do feel for you and your withdrawls. be more careful
 
Well, it depends on how you take them. If you are eating the grounds it lasts like twice as long, and I assume you are getting more alkaloids and maybe even a little XR action with those pods.

Eating the grinds makes the withdrawls last twice as long too.
 
Thank yopu for a;ll of this info, I had NO idea that poppy pods had ANY strength at all.
Good Luck with the taper.
\ Would this (pods) help someone to taper off of methadone?
Thanks,
Peace,
Hana
