No it was another poster who put up the pick of the pods that look like mini-granny smith apples.

I know, I meant to respond to both of them separately in the same post but the quote got messed up for the person with the pod image.
 
Tried TEN pods at 13:30ish, I'm nodding pretty hard but no warmth or euphoria. Only steeped for 15 minutes though as I was in a rush. I think this batch is just shit tbh. Ah well, guess we're all gonna have to wait til the next harvest :(
 
I have ordered 0.5kg of dried poppy heads labelled "medium/large". Just a few questions, roughly how many will I expect to have? Also, I have a high tolerance to tramadol, like 700mg is a typical use to get high, spread over a few hours (stupid I know). So how much will this affect my tolerance to the tea? Since gtramadol supposedly isn't a "true" opiate.
Lastly, how many of the pods should I make into tea for my first time?
 
Pods aren't like a pharmaceutical with exact strengths, they're a natural unrefined plant and many things affect the active properties, even in a single batch O levels can vary greatly from pod to pod which is why it's advisable to ground the whole batch up together even out the potency. additionally there is no industry standard that all vendors adhere to - what might be one vendors mediums are anothers smalls. given that, there's no way to safely advise you how many to take other than it's always safest to start small and work up - keeping in mind that it can take an hour to feel the full effects, so patience is also key before dosing again. when pods are strong just 1 or 2 crumbled up in a bit of hot water is enough, but there's no telling what yours will be like. keep in mind too that once you start, pods can really bring tolerance sky high very quickly.

lol yes they are, already got a confirmation on shroomery man.

Anyways I'll just dose the tea with 8 of these pods:

If anyone else thinks they're not somni's, holla, cause ya never know.

They look like somnis to me, but if you look at the little one you see the crown erect? that means it is ripe and near peak morphine content.
On the huge pod the crown is still rounded down to the edges of the pod, this pod has a way to go before reaching peak morphine content.

Did you look at the first picture he posted on page 15 though? because you can't see on those 2 how the caps really look unless you see it from above like in the other picture.

So far I'm pretty disappointed with pod tea. I guess I may have just been unlucky and received a really shit batch, but I've yet to experience a decent, lengthy high from them and now find myself 'chasing the dragon' 1 week after my first attempt. I started with 2 large pods (about the size of a tennis ball) to test the waters, that got me nowhere; 5 pods gave me a feeling like a codeine high starting to come on for 30 minutes then died; 7 pods (3 large, 2 medium, and 2 smaller ones slightly bigger than golf balls) gave me a pretty nice high for about an hour, then I started nodding pretty hard for about an hour and then it went. So like I say I'm yet to feel anything close the the 12+ hour highs that have been reported. I've not even felt anything close to a proper opiate high for more than an hour.

I'm pretty sure I've got my recipe correct:

- boil 2 cups of water (about 650 - 700ml)
- allow water to cool for 10-15 minutes to avoid the possibility of destroying alkaloids with boiling water
- Add the water to desired amount of pods (grinded to a powder) and steep for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
- filter through a sieve, straining the grounds to get all the water out

The resulting water has been very dark each time, with bits of grounds which made it through the sieve. What could be going wrong? I've been taking codeine about twice a week for the past few months and my tolerance is ~500mg, though I haven't had any since last sunday - 2 days before I first tried the pods. I would have thought, even with my tolerance that 7 pods would be enough, no? Someone in another thread suggested eating the grounds, which I did try with the leftover grounds after the attempt with 5 pods... but I would really rather not try that again, it was a struggle to say the least *shudder*.

Any thoughts on what could be going wrong with my tea? :(

Well, even before the pod shortage there were plenty of weak/inactive pods on the market so it doesn't shock me at all when someone says that they found PPT unimpressive or didn't really catch a buzz.

In my experience (and also observed by a couple of other PPT users) usually when you have a relatively dark tea it's good stuff. Often when I get weak pods they brew up into a yellowish tea, the really good ones sometimes brewed dark black like coffee. It's not a surefire way to gauge the potency though, I've had dark teas that didn't really effect me much and have had lighter colored teas that floored me, so it's not completely reliable. Another possible way to gauge is by how bitter the tea is, and usually dark brews are pretty bitter too.

It sounds odd to me that you say you are getting a buzz but it's only lasting like an hour. Even plain morphine should last longer than that, and dried poppy pods contain many alkaloids and definitely have a long duration (if they contain morphine, at least). I would typically feel high for 24 hours when I had no tolerance. I would have suggested placebo effect but your experience with 7 pods perplexes me. You say you felt high for an hour and then started nodding off? Did it feel like a typical opiate nod?

I can't imagine why the pods you have would have you nodding and only last 2 hours. If I catch a nod on pods, I'm guaranteed to be high for a LONG time.

First of all, I have to say it.. Are you trying to have a seizure from the tramadol? Come on man that's not safe at all and you're playing russian roulette taking doses like that. I know you already are aware of that risk but still I can't help but say it.

Anyway, I'm sure that the trams have had some effect on your opiate tolerance. Are you dependent on them? The high from the pods will be very different from tramadol and if you are hooked on them be aware that pod won't fully substitute because tramadol has SRI/NRI effects too (again I'm sure you know this). I can't really recommend a dosage due to the variability of pod potency and my uncertainty of what 700mg of tramadol is equivalent to even with regular morphine. So start out low, use 2 or 3 pods and see how dark the tea is and how it effects you. Then slowly build up from there, just be careful. I try to drink it on an empty stomach so it takes effect quicker, it makes it easier to gauge yourself when you are trying to build up your dose carefully without overdoing it.

Looking at the picture, I would say that they don't look unusual or anything. There's only one real way to find out how good they are though so report back with your finding :) Good luck, hope you got quality product.

Honestly those look a bit odd compared to what I'm used to seeing. Just because they're so oblong with teeny caps - but the caps DO look somni like - it's just that they're usually more in proportion to the pod and the pods are usually more tapered at the top. There are many different species even within somni family though so my hunch from that somewhat unclear pic is that they are the right kind.

One way you can hide them is to go ahead and grind them all up and keep them in some kind of plastic jar. Like I said before it's a good idea to grind them all up together anyway to even out the potency, since the strength of pods can vary so much from even one to the next.


Here's an example of somnis - tannish with some purplish hues, caps are round, pods are plump at the bottom and taper at the top.

I'd never experienced that either until recently. Got some very weak pods that fade within a couple hours. With quality pods, crumbling a couple in hot water turns it brown in minutes - prepared the same way these leave the water clear, but if really hot water is used and they're steeped for a lot longer it does turn brown, but still the effects fade very quickly. My only guess is that some of the shorter lasting alkaloids are present in small quantities but the longer lasting ones are lacking.

Thanks mate. And what about the black marks? They look a bit like mould which is a worry for something going in my body.
 
I've just made pod tea using fresh pods, hot water and a blender. I put the pods and hot water into the blender and mixed it on and off for about 30 minutes until it was a browny yellow watery paste. I then poured the mixture through a towel to get rid of all of the gunk, and leave me with brown water.

I should add that I scoured the pods beforehand and quite a bit of whiteish liquid came out, so they did have quite a bit of opium in them.

However...the water doesn't taste bitter?? Should it?? I don't see why this method of prep shouldn't work?

If it's just the pod that's a bit blackish colored then that's the dried O latex from where the plant was bruised or something when green and the O dried inside the pod - nothing to worry about. If you open one up and it's full of black gunk inside then that is mold and don't use it.

Might be a bit different with fresh pods, but yeah quality dried pods are bitter. Lots of plants "bleed" white though, you sure they're the right kind? Bottom line though is if you feel the effects then you got it. The real deal won't take any guessing.
 
Hmm, I only used 3 of them ground up, steeped in hot water with lemon juice added and holy hell. Intense.
To be honest I think 2 of them would have been enough (they are of the gigantum variety). How people say they have 6-8 and I've seen some mention 12 or even 20 is beyond me!

To be honest though, it isn't really as enjoyable as I had hoped. It's an intense body high without much of a mental euphoria feeling at all. It's been an hour so far and my head an neck feel kinda strange and flushed, and I'm very aware of my intestines (if that makes sense?!). Is there more to come? Hopefully a bit more euphoric...
