I am a long time Roxicodone user and currently take 150mg a day and that barely effects me anymore. I suppose I have a high tollorance for opiates now.
I am looking for something that can help me much like the roxy but not something I need a script for.
I tried Krartom and it did nothing for me. However, I only got it from one place and don't even know if I did it right. I did read an FAQ on another forum about making Kratom Tea... followed the directions but nothing happended for me at all.
So, I have been reading about the Poppy pods. I ordered 3 large ones. They are the size of a tennis ball. They are dry and look dirty. I don't even know if they are the right kind. I read I should get Popii Sominer something or other kind and that is what these are. However, when I opended the package, there was a note stating "Do not take internaly - for ornamental use only" I suppose that is what the primary use is?
Anyway, before I screw up and do something dangerous, I wanted to ask a few questions...
<snip>
2. if I accidentally swallow some of the "mold" will it be dangerous?
3. Some people on here have said to not bother with tea but just crush them up and swallow. ???
4. Becasue they are dry, brittle, and hollow except for seeds, will they still do what I want them to do?
I'm sorry I am so vague here but even though I have Googled and read about this stuff, I am still confused and want to be sure I get the right kind, and eat it the right way and use the right amount.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Yeah, they are commonly used for decorative purposes
2. I would throw moldy pods to trash as some molds can be very unhealthy to consume. Although i have ingested pods that have been maybe a LITTLE bit moldy inside and am still alive... But what i have read about the subject it is wisest to just throw them away. Moldy pods are easy to recognize, i suggest googling/searching bluelight for more info on the subject if in doubt. The have this earthly smell and fuzzy growth inside.
3. If you eat the grounds instead of tea they will last longer but the come-up will take much longer too. It is also very much material to eat too, i haven't even tried that myself.
4. Yes, that's how they are supposed to be. You can also take out the seeds before making tea and plant them to get more poppies if possible, or make tea from the seeds later when you have them enough. I usually don't include the seeds in my tea.
Remeber the size of the pods can vary greatly:
If i have the largest giganteum pods, i use 5-8 without tolerance for a nice high/nodding even
but with the much smaller variety i have to use 40-80 for same effects. Always test your batch with safe amount to find out the potency!
And as tommy said above about the pH, i too usually make the tea acidic with lemon juice or ascorbic acid to get the goods out better. Whether this really affects the potency of the brew, i can't say for sure. I have been pondering this for years...
Also if you want to get everything out of your brew then drink some white grapefruit juice (from 2-3 fresh grapes) an hour or so before ingesting your brew. This will make more codeine convert into morphine.
It helps also to grind the pods as fine powder as possible so their surface area that reacts with water increases.
I usually boil the water first and make it acidic, then wait it to cool down a little and throw the poppy grounds in it. Then let it simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally (lesser time will do also, but it's better to let it simmer longer on cooler temperature). Don't boil.
edit. Since you have so small amount of them, i'd definitely suggest to make another batch from them after the first one. You should get at least 2 "boils" (simmers) off them...Nothing stops you from trying even more tho
double-edit. Almost forgot the thing i came to ask in the first place:D :
Does anybody use the straws also?
I find them very usable myself if you have no tolerance. Not an earthshattering high or anything like that but they surely do their job if used enough.
