Poppy tea is the fucking devil

Oh, okay. Thanks! Today I did my second attempt. I did 2 pods about the size of golf balls, maybe a bit bigger. I used about 14oz for both pods and I used coffee filters (I agree they do suck) and I mixed with OJ and some sugar... the taste was awful, I pinched my nose... I feel pretty good right now (it has been about 45 minutes since I consumed it. When I ground them with the mortar there were still little pices like the size of cashew halfs, is this okay?

Oh and as for stirring, if you don't stir it just settles at the top and bottom, so wouldn't it be more beneficial to stir occasionally? Thanks again.

Can someone answer this question? I would like to know as well. I am in a similar situation. If I had a break for a few weeks, and then just went on a heavy binge over the weekend, would it be fathomable to expect slight withdrawals from this?


I'd expect a bit of a sniff, bit of the shits, sore head feel abit low/weak but nothing much more really.
 
pharmacist-

The little pieces are fine, but it's best to grind it down into a fine powder.

Yes, you should stir it up.

I wouldn't bother mixing anything with it, it'll just taste more funky. Just chug it straight.
 
^I always do 1:1 with orange juice or lemonade (or both) and add a little sugar and its so much easier for me to get down.

Am I the only one that enjoys the taste?

I wouldn't say I enjoy it but I don't think its near as bad as people make it out to be. Especially when you are used to the taste of Kratom. Kratom makes pod tea taste like it came from a 5 star restaurant.
 
Most times i can handle the taste but once in a while it really gets to me and i can't finish the last few sips. That's usually when I've been drinking it for a few days and I'm just tired of it. I will say this, I've tasted a lot worse. Kratom tea is awful to me, that's why i ordered the capsules this last time so i can just swallow one or two.

At first i had a hard time finding something to help with the taste of poppy pod tea (w/grounds), i tried everything. I finally tried apple juice and it was perfect. The sweetness of apple juice really helps with the taste. It's not a cure-all to the taste but it makes it doable.

I've tried drinking it with no flavoring and i couldn't hack it- EW!

Now Poppy Seed Tea, the taste doesn't bother me what so ever. I just add a little bit of real lemon juice. I can even drink the seed tea with no lemon, no flavoring but i prefer it with a little something.

And Poppy pod tea without the grounds doesn't bother me to much. Sometimes i can handle it other times i can't.

It really depends on the pods too. Some pods taste stronger than others, some taste spicier. I've always noticed the spicier pod tea is (with or without grounds) and seed tea, if it taste on the spicy side, that's a good sign. When it's spicy i usually have a good strong batch and a good high.

I get tired of pods after a few days though... i couldn't have a daily habit, i just couldn't drink that stuff every day. Well.. if i needed to keep well i suppose i would but i wouldn't like it. I only do pods when i don't have my DOC- Oxy/Fent. I'm not a huge fan of the morphine high like i used to be. I prefer the stimulant high of oxy than the more sedate/body high of Morphine/pods.

Here's something I found for those that don't like the taste:

One time I accidentally poured my tea into a cup that had some coffee in it. The tea tasted just like coffee (albeit really bitter coffee).
 
I'll have to try that, or the decaf tea and honey deal. I didn't find the taste that bad when I first started on pods, but I grew to anticipate it and now if I don't have something to chase it I most often puke. I always talk to people that start to like the taste of it after a while, I envy them.
 
I don't know what kind of pods you're all using, but I've never had opium or opium poppy pod tea last very long. 3-5 hour high at best. Heroin lasts a lot longer for me... even kratom usually does.
 
^ Wow... even the time I got pods that were pretty weak I was high for hours and hours and fucked up into the next day.

Seeing as how the alkaloid content can vary a lot, I'd bet the content of the certain acid that is believed to cause the longevity of effects can vary quite a bit as well.
 
Ah, the wonderful taste of pod tea. Sometimes I can get it down without an issue, other times it's a challenge just to get a few sips down.

THe other night I vomited for the first time just from the taste alone, and I've been using for 2 0r 3 months now (albeit somewhat irregularly).

Anytime I've used pods I've noticed a duration of at least 8 hours. usually longer. I remember kratom never lasted any longer than 3 - 4 hours for me.
 
What one would you recommend i get then as someone who has never done any opiate other than morphine and kratom?

Also how much do you need to get high and how long does the actual stuff last once you have it? do you have to store it away from the sun or something?

Might wanna remove that link as I don't think source discussion is allowed, even for "legal" pods.

But yes, they'll keep for a long time. I had a box of them stored in my closet that lasted me months. Just keep them out of sunlight and heat.

Depends on the potency and your individual tolerance. It's not something that can be given a definite answer.

Just start on the low end of the spectrum, 1 or 2 medium sized pods and work your way up if you don't feel anything.
