smokable opium from dried pods

[stimutant]

just use a microwave to dry it completely out. try out with small amounts first, so you know for how long and so on.
works fine, gives real god o in the end.



...and please dont bitch around without even having tried.


ps: in my experience the product deriven from a cold water extraction done with fresh plants&pods tastes much better when smoked than an extract that was derived from cooking the plants (my explanation would be that hot water solves more fats&oils than cold water). i didnt notice a real difference in effectivity, though.

Angelus is correct. You can extract a smokable substance with a high concentration of alkaloids in it but it is not opium. That must be from incising the pods when technically ripe.

Some dried pods will contain enough opium inside that can be carefully picked out, but these are rare.

Yup, that's how the "Polish heroin" is made. It's not heroin per se, it's just the alkaloids extracted from pods and stems. They even iv'ed that shit!

damn pods are getting to be a pretty big deal now..... I hope they don't make dried pods illegal anytime soon.

I think it be pretty hard to stop at this point... A quick search on everyone's favourite auction site reveals 238 items. As I've said it before, poppies grow wild, even in the states, an seed themselves very well. I've even heard of people finding them in Central Park, NYC... On the other hand, they actually are already illegal in the US, poppy straw is schedule I...

Recently I've had some success by putting powdered grounds in high % ISO alcohol and shaking for only about 7 minutes. Then I strain that and allow to evaporate over very low heat so as not to burn it. This seems to work pretty well.. It is MUCH more smokable than a water extraction (which has always been all oily foe me). I'm pretty sure only allowing the grounds to soak in ISO for a short time is why you get a more smokable, and more moldable, like hard hash, product this way. Fewer oils and other soluables are absorbed... On the other hand, I suppose you could very well be losing alkaloids too.

Honestly I've experimented with the ice-o-lator, this method, and even a method with a water extraction then a CWE, and this method definitely produced the best results. 10 pods only gave me ~2G as well, so it seems to be fairly concentrated stuff, which is much unlike a water extraction (which give you huge amounts of goo).

I'm still most fond of eating/drinking them... I definitely get the highest this way. It's fun to experiment though.

Allegedly, smokable opium a century ago was all made with hot-water extractions. Rather than trying to smoke the raw opium resin directly, a crude extract was made by dissolving in hot water and filtering, then dried to produce something that would vaporize more easily (the opium pipes used indirect heat, not an open flame).

funknsoul, how much of your opium extract did you need to consume to get where you wanted to be, and what was your MOA?

Smoked worked okay, certainly not as well as real opium would. I guess about .6 or .7 to myself in a bong - I didn't really measure what I smoked, only the whole product from the experiment. I WISH I had a vaporizer.. I bet that would've worked much better. Eating the stuff definitely works very well, and it is a good way to avoid the taste of tea.. I've done it a few times. Smoking it is just such a different feeling than eating it. It is much quicker, lasts much less, but intense in whole different way than the come up of the same alkaloids consumed orally - Honestly, I found it to be very lazy. Keep in mind I've only tried this experiment a few times as I would rather have tea. It's interesting for sure and worth a try though. So are some of the other methods.. this is just what I've liked best.
