Ive been cultivating opium for about 20 years now. It depends on how big the pods are, but I doubt you will get 10 grams of raw O. I use metal halite 1000 watt bulbs and serious nutes and I average a half gram of raw O per pod. I grew whats called Giant pods. About the size of a tennis ball...
I grow hundreds in a 25 square foot area. I never counted the pods though. Lance them before bed and when you wake up, you will have O. Most people do not lance the proper way and dont get shit as far as O. Its an art form to properly lance a opium poppy. You cant cut too deep or not enough.
Not true... You can eat raw opium or smoke it. It does not require processing. If you want to convert it to heroin, then it must be refined. I agree though with putting them in the blender with grapefruit juice... thats the best way.
Lance the pods vertically. Lance only about a quarter of the pod then the next day lance another quarter until you go all the way around. Use an exacto knife or razor blade. The pods have to be ready before you lance em. Make sure the crown at the top is sticking up. If it is, they are ready. As far as using O to get off M, I would blend the entire pod with a juice. Grapefruit or orange juice. I usually eat 3 giant pods. Thats like 30 mg of methadone to me.
