So, for some time I was under the impression that thebaine was very unlike other opiates in its effect, so I figured its prescence in poppy pod tea or opium might only result in a bit more stimulation, but now I read that oripavine (thebaine's major metabolite) is quite like a normal opiate in its action. I guess my question is are opium or poppy pod tea consumers feeling the effects of this oripavine or are the amounts negligible or what? I am confused, and would like to know more on oripavine.

Hmm good question alex i've wondered alot about that as i'm a fan of pod tea and seed tea. I wonder if the amount of oripavine metabolised from thebaine would have any effect.. I suspect the effect will mainly be codeine and morphine though

Yeah good point, alas i have no idea why but i love the long duration, morphine tabs tend to have a peak of 3-4 hrs while Tea can last up to twenty four IME. Puzzling :/Limpet_Chicken

Thebaine in larger doses is a convulsant poison-it acts as an antagonist of glycine receptors, like strychnine and tutin do, although like strychnine in smaller doses it should be useable as a stimulant. My guess is that its likely responsible as the reason why pod tea is more stimulating by far than morphine or codeine on their own.
