Try taking a few days off. I just pmd you but I'm pretty sure at this point its my tolerance. I got high as shit the other day by just taking a 3 day break. I use everyday so its like some magic tea that does nothing but keeps me from going into wds at this point.
Tolerance ultimately ruined my poppy experience the first time, I wound up in a detox.
And the second time around it seems to be heading in the same direction, except I don't have insurance, so now I'm fvcked and must taper alone. Pods are always fun when its new, then after 6 months to a year it gets old and you wind up just taking pods to thwart wds. I slept from 4am to 4pm today, my sleep cycle has become delayed and greatly extended since taking this shit. I start classes and a job next week wow this is gonna be a lot of fun!
I hate my life, have nothing but the pods to thank for it (and myself of course).
sound exactly like me. i haven't slept in my bed in about a month. usually lay on the couch watching tv kinda half nodding out till i pass out. it is very hard for me to wake up too. my sleep cycle is so fucked right now. i have a horrible diet too, which consists of 3/4 a cup of pods eaten raw in powder form. i've noticed it really going downhill in the past few weeks / 2 months or so. just feel much more depressed than normal and hate that i force myself to dose so im not sick the next morning for work. i think im going to taper soon.
seems like i've had my first bad reaction to pods. last friday i dosed and got a pretty bad stomach ache. i never get stomach aches but i thought it was because i hadn't eaten anything and just ate pods. nothing real big it went away when i smoked some weed.
tuesday night i got home and dosed. i had eaten at noon and at 5. i wasn't hungry when i got home like i was on friday. after about an hour i had the same stomach ache that i had last friday. waited about an hour and smoked some weed. my stomach was still in pain but it wasn't that big a deal. out of nowhere my nose just stops working. instantly clogged and tons of sinus pressure. about 20 minutes later i look in the mirror and my face is insanely swollen. i mean BIG! this never happens to me. pretty much went on for the rest of the night and is still a bit swollen now about 21 hours after i dosed. really weird though. anyone else have any bad reactions?
I got some small hens and chicks along with some regular pods. I almost always use the regular pods as they are bigger than the hens and I knew the dosage for the regular pods. Anyway, I made some poppy pod tea with about 10 gs or less of hens without chicks and ended up with this really dirty looking tea. It was sort of grayish brown, not the usual clean dark amber I'm used to. Didn't taste that bitter either and I'm not sure, but I don't think it was that potent. I lightly washed off the outsides of the pods (not too hard there were bits of dried O all around it) and checked the inside of each pod (maybe a little to quick) for mold. After drinking most of the tea, I decided to filter what I had left through a paper filter and got a light amber, only a little dirty looking drink. What the fuck was that nasty shit? I don't remember getting sick or anything from it.
Is this common? It seems like it'd take forever to find something this specific in a megathread.
^Yeah, you may want to look into coming off the pods for at least a little bit. Kratom is a viable and great option for this IMO, considering that you are in the USA and it is so easily obtainable legally. IMPO (in most people's opinion), kratom is a much, much better than loperamide for stepping down whenever you decide to. I would taper down a bit with the pods first, but once you decide you're ready to stop taking them, kratom should help immensely with the unpleasantness that is sure to follow.
Jesus dude I can relate to this very much. I've found myself dosing more and more often these days, I think I know that the end is nearing with my pod addiction so I'm just kind of going all out now and using multiple times per day and using higher dosages than ever before (not too smart, I must admit).
My sleep cycle is shit, I stay up till 3 or 4AM and sleep till about 12 noon sometimes. When I try to take a break from the pods, I usually can't sleep at all or won't doze off until a ridiculous time. I don't eat so well these days, nor do I give a fuck about anything except getting high. I've never been more depressed and unmotivated in my life. I also find the withdrawals practically unbearable now, like they are getting worse and it's taking more frequent dosing to keep myself comfortable.
Oh boy, just so many signs that the end is nearI need to clean up so fucking bad.
Bump... I keep searching, and to the best I can tell, the only thing I should be concerned over is the pods containing predominately thebaine and not the alkaloids I am more interested in. So, worst case scenario, I get a tea that contains limited or no sought after alkaloids... Is this a correct interpretation?
