I'm in the middle of reducing some poppy extract down to a "tar". Or is it SWIM that's doing that? No it's me. I'm quite excited, should make the consumption a bit less of a gut wrenchI took 15 pods, powdered them and made 1.5 litres of tea. Then I filtered it through coffee filters, they get "clogged" quick though so I ended up using about 15 filters. I've had it sitting in the oven at about 70° for about 30 hours now, with the door ajar to allow water vapour to escape. The oven thermostat light is off most of the time so I don't think it's using much power. The evaporation takes a long time but it's looking like it won't be much longer now.
I should end up with something like this:

That's someone else's end result.
I don't think it'll be smokeable because it's just a crude extract and wouldn't be very nice on the lungs but it should be edible. Ideally I'll have a dry product that I can dissolve into a small volume of water for plugging. That picture makes it look quite dry and possibly something that can be powdered with mortar and pestle.
Anyone else done this?
It is a far more palatable way to take ones tea. I should be down to 2 g tomorrow, havent done the calculations on making say 100g/50 if that would yield 50 2 g di=oses. id have to start weighting and sghit then too. Have been pveeing today though, so not to sure ill how ill hold up to some mild WDS. Come on MAN the fuvk up, as clint eastwood is rumoured to have said. Its prlbably not worth the hassle for tiny doses.
apart from rambling, i will be sticking to my morning 2g, evening AH is down to 78 mg. You know at this rate the opiate taper is a piece of piss. What fills tha gap frtterwards though. Not half confident bout quitting benzoes.
The last poppies i ordered - allegedly "very strong" turkish hens and chicks - I first tried 2 pods "just to be safe", and felt nothing, then tried 10, then 30, then 100 and still felt fuck all. And I've got zero opiate tolerance. That's put me off the poppies for a while.
You sometimes see poppies for sale that have already been slit. These were the very good stuff but you're doing the equivalent of picking your own fruit. Other times, you can wind up with poppies for exclusively decorative purpose from which the active ingredient has been genetically removed. Doesn't matter how you prepare them, you're never going to get high.
Unless you've reliable confirmation of the honesty of advertisers' claims, you're best off using the seeds from pods that got you offa your head last year; you'll know what to expect, it won't cost you a penny and, with thousands of seeds in every healthy pod, there'll be plenty to go around.
in the climate here and it would look a bitto the neighbours...

Here's my end result:
NSFW:![]()
That's 15g of powder from 110g of poppy heads (15 of them). (by the way I've only consumed 2.5g of it, I don't have much of a tolerance)
Feeling it now, so I'm quite pleased with my work!
Fuck sake though, over two days that stuff was sitting in my oven. But it's just sitting there so it's not taking any of my time, apart from checking it every few hours.
james303, I have never left pods to brew that long, usually I leave them for 15 minutes. I think the good stuff is extracted pretty quickly as it's very soluble in water. If you leave it so long you're probably just getting more of the unwanted tars and fats. So that's my suggestion, don't brew it for so long.
edit: actually you have a point on the quantity of water, too, it might well have been too much for your stomach, but if you're trying to get 50g of material into yourself then you're going to need a fair amount of water in the brew to capture the goodies. Maybe you should try reducing the brew down like I have done, but it does take a lot of time. The other option is eating the poppy grounds after you've made your brew, but I couldn't face that myself.
Thanks dude, I will look into it.
