Naggers, i would love to spread the wisdom, so to speak but it would be VERY hard if not impossible to find as i bought it at a second-hand book shop for 50p

It's simply named 'illustrated family doctor' with no date of publish (looks to be from between 1940s/1960s) & funnily enough it just says 'by various general practioners'.

See what kind of old books of this kind you can find in a second hand shop near you.

Best Pod Type

Hey,

I want to order some pods.

Between tasmanian, gigantum, turkish, etc--- any particular breeds I should focus on? What do you guys like best?
 
Safety of Pods

:)Hi, I am new here and and am by no means trying to break the rules and ask where to buy pods, rather HOW do I determine the strengh of the pod. I don't want to overdose and was just wondering if there is any way of telling the potency of the pod by the type, color, size, etc. I am a casual user of pain pills and have had pod tea years ago, made by someone who really knew what they were doing. I do not have any clue about this, and am looking for guidance.
Thank you
 
Potency varies greatly with each pod. You want to look for the Somniferum species. It does not really matter what strain of pod you get, as they all work the same. Just remember to dose low to test your system, be careful when re-dosing, and avoid all other cns depressants for the duration.
 
^That exactly! Start low and drink only 1/2 of the cup of tea then wait 30 minutes to an hour to see if it kicks in. If so, don't drink the other half, if not, then perhaps drink the remaining half of the cup. Better to under dose and feel nothing than to overdose. There is no way to know the strength even within the same batch of pods, just be smart and careful. Also, I know you didn't ask about this, but watch out for addiction. It sneaks up on you quickly. Try to not take the tea more than once (twice at the most) a week. I once thought I could avoid addiction and here I am months later tapering off these things. They will rule your life if you let them.
 
Weak Pods? Good Pods?

Alright. So I've tried making PPT a handful of times over the years, and have never had any results that could've even passed for decent. A couple of weeks ago I used what had to have been about a third of a pound of fresh pods. I felt nothing except a little stomach sick, and I mean I drank a lot of thick tea made from fat, fresh pods I picked myself. The only conclusion I am able to reach is that these were not the right kind, even though I am almost positive they were Papaver Somniferum pods. Rather, I don't see how they could not have been, unless there are look-a-likes I am not aware of.

Today, I went to the farmer's market and bought a huge bunch of dried pods, with which I thought I'd give it another go. I used about half of them, probably an ounce or even two(maybe even more) of dried ground-to-dust material for a tea. I've been drinking it and I definitely feel better than I did, and can feel a mild but distinguishable numbness in my body.

Why do I read about people using mere tablespoons of ground material and getting great/potent effects? I can understand that pods ordered offline which are grown in places where the poppy itself flourishes would subsequently be more potent, in all likelyhood. But I must have used the equivalent of twenty or more tablespoons of material. It tastes quite bitter too, which I would think is a good thing, as I am aware the desired alkaloids are indeed bitter as hell.

Next, it simply cannot be my tolerance. I used to have a sky high tolerance, yes, but nowadays it is very low. I rarely take more than my prescribed four Norco's in a day, and never more than five or six. I know if I were to take 40-50mg of Oxycodone or 100mg of Morphine, I would be blasted. So what the hell?

I know that a definitive answer is not really plausible here, as I am really only leaving room for speculation. But, are these pods I used today probably just weak too? Just not as completely impotent as the one's from several weeks back? I really feel pretty decent, just not as decent as I would ideally like.

It's just frustrating, obviously. I know PPT works, or can work incredibly well for so many. I suppose my main inquiry is for people who have experience with unquestionably real and potent pods (like from a reputable source which is tried and true) as well as experience with back yard/neighbors yard/around town regional pods. Is it common for true papaver somniferum grown in North America/Europe to be substantially less potent than those grown in Asia? I would think yes, but to the point where those grown in my region are more or less worthless?
 
^No, they are certainly not worthless. Even setigerum is not worthless IMO, though there is a bit more itching accompanying the effects. But good pods grown in the USA can certainly be damn good at times! The pods typically don't look as dark and misshapen for the USA pods and this probably correlates to the decreased potency. I think this is probably because of breeding of the somniferum species to include setigerum genes (the two species have numbers of chromosomes with a common factor (a multiple) of 11, I believe, which would allow for easy interbreeding and thus easy circumventing of USA law... The result would be hybrid pods that would retain characteristics of both species, like the near-perfect pod shape of setigerum, or the higher morphine percentage in select somniferum poppies...)

Regardless of type, I like to go with the size that is just under the largest available...

Good insight; thank you for the reply. I ended up using the rest of the pods, probably about a hundred or more total. By the time it was all said and done, I was definitely feeling an Opiate buzz, just not like I expected based on the volume of material I used. It was indeed the best experience I've had with PPT though, or rather the only worthwhile experience I've ever had. And the effects did seem to become stronger hours after I had finished the tea too, which was nice.

I'm sure I'll give it another shot before too long, as I now feel some optimism toward PPT based on yesterday's effects.
 
Why is there a shortage in the US but not here in the UK?

Just out of curiosity, today I checked the website of the supplier I used to use (I don't do pods any more) & hey presto! There they are, at the same price as they have always been.

Strange situation...

*edit* they only post within the UK.
 
rumour has it the drug enforcement agency shut down the major US poppy farm - so that might be why. not certain but that's what some have said.
 
For poppy seed tea, which type of seeds would be best to buy? Would they be available at a supermarket like safeway?
 
PPT Question: What is your favorite?

I just asked Pegasus, but thought I would ask you all too. I have been reading most of the poppy posts for several hours and am still very much a newbie to poppy pods (discovered them today). With some advice, we could have a really good time experimenting with PPT this coming weekend. I've been reading and reading and doing a Google search finds different places that I don’t want to spend hundreds or even close to that amount for a few experimental highs.
We are both 5’10, about 160 pounds, 20’s, good health, I’m prescribed xanax and anti depressants and I have a moderate tolerance to opiates -he has about half that tolerance with no prescriptions and we are both weekend warriors with slight addictive personalities although we both don’t like taking substances frequently but enjoy the weekend or occasional high.
The problem with poppy pods in descriptions is this:
They all have confusing sizes / strains / potency is undefined as far as I can tell. I think potency favors the hill(?) and chick and Arizona varieties. I'd like to try a great resource and appropriate dose with him a few times and am wondering what size to get, which strain, what kind has the most bang for the buck -basically what would you get? What is your favorite? Anything you can tell me here or more info in a PM for more info would help us immensely. Thank you very much for your time :)
