PPT with Kratom
A wonderful combination for a euphoric, but non-incapacitating high, is weak poppy tea and Kratom. Also, tolerance is much less likely to develop, and you can switch to Kratom alone to wean off the mix. Individually, I'm extremely sensitive to opiates, so 2-3 grams of poppy material (I typically use 18 grams of flower material to brew 6 cups) with 3 grams of Kratom sends me up, up and away on a beautiful balloon.
This is what I use to brew the poppy tea:
18 grams of powdered poppy
6 cups of reverse osmosis filtered water
1 gram of dissolved vitamin C
3-4 cap fulls of real lemon juice
2 capsules of ginseng
1000 mcg of B-12
I boil the 6 cups of water and let cool for a bit, so it's barely bubbling, dissolve the vitamin C, add the ginseng, lemon juice and powdered B-12...
then I add the 18 grams of ground pod material, and steep covered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Next, I strain the pod material and press out the absorbed water, saving it for a brew of 3 cups.
This yields a total of 9 cups of poppy tea.
I freeze what I do not drink right away to preserve freshness, except for a cup or two which I refrigerate while one is thawing
Imbibition:
When I'm ready to imbibe, I weigh out 3 grams of bali Kratom, add it to a coffee cup, then pour the poppy tea on top, heat it in the microwave until pleasantly warmed (don't overheat), and stir with a teaspoon until the concoction is well mixed.
Helpful hint:
Keep stirring the mix before each gulp to keep the Kratom powder suspended (you don't want it to settle at the bottom before you finish your drink). The drink tastes yucky, but is really not all that bad. I have a close friend that I drink it with, and the lemon juice helps a lot.
Safety:
Get a cheap digital scale (less than ten bucks at Amazon), and use it religiously. When you get a new batch, grind it all up and mix it together before you weigh out your pod powder. This ensures that each brew from that batch will be equally potent. Start with 3-5 grams per cup (or less if you have a low tolerance like me), and drink a little bit and wait an hour to see what happens. Better to feel little or nothing because you can always drink more, if you need a booster.
Frequency:
Since PPT is addictive it's probably best to drink it no more than 2-3 times a week. Also, PPT has other compounds that may be beneficial for certain conditions. For example, Noscapine may help prevent prostate and other types of cancers. Everything in moderation, i say.
For those who try the poppy/kratom mix, let me know what you think.
