Hey all,
Done a ton of research here and elsewhere on poppy seed tea and just want to confirm some final things before proceeding to obtain them and make the tea:
1. Which seeds would likely be best for PST? Those sold for growing or for cooking?
I would think growing would be best since those for cooking are washed? But then i know those for growing are not recommended for consumption since they are pretreated chemically?
2. What does washed mean and what does pretreated chemically mean? Same thing or not?
3. What type of store or purchasing situation has gotten you the best seeds? For example, online, supermarket, gardening nursery etc?
3. With regards to the different and unknown potency risks my idea is to buy a lot in bulk, mix them all up properly if they arrive in different packets and then test PST carefully to find the correct dosage. I should be able to then assume the remaining bulk amount is likely the same potency when making further tea from the same purchase.
They new purchases are once again treated to the same careful process as per above? What are your thoughts?
4. Any other risks you think is necessary to mention?
Thanks.
