Very Impressed- Poppy Seed Tea

Same old, same old...

Fizz is right. The never ending subject of poppy seeds strikes again! As Fizz said, seeds themselves DO NOT contain ANY alkaloids. There is some residual coating but by and far most seeds available in supermarkets, etc. are pressure washed and wothless. As I have said many times [andeven once here in this thread], one is much better advised to acquire dried pods from floral supply shops and brew your tea the right way. Bottoms up.
 
I have tried both fresh pods and seeds from the supermarket
and the supermarket seeds are very strong, stronger then fresh pods. I am not sure why people think that the seeds are weak. All you have to do is read the trip reports or look in Australian social. A lot of people are making seed tea and everyone is getting great results.

What do you mean by stronger? Like on a by-weight basis, or by volume, or what?

ebola
 
Seeds are stronger...

Let's see...On one hand we have "pods" which contain the alkaloids that get people "high" and on the other hand we have "seeds" which contain absolutely zero alkaloids...Common sense tells us that seeds are no comparison. If you feel that seeds were better, more power to you, but I think you're a bit confused.

Placebo effect is one thing, so is dishonesty, in the end it just comes down to common sense. As far as "trip reports," they are worthless. Merely examine "trip reports" for "Red Rock." People can say anything they wish...it does not neccessarily have to be rooted in reality.

Laminated: It is not the same thing because in addition to the minimal amount of opium one finds in "pods" they are ingesting a large amount of plant material. Generally, opium is refined to remove the majority of plant matter.
 
Exactly except on top of this opium is regarded as the crude form of the drug. It is not until one obtains pure morphine that we are really dealing with an actual "drug" in the pharmaceutical sense.

Still, good luck to you kids if this is an adequate solution for you. I did some crazy things when I was younger, enough that I would not fancy experimenting with this.
 
Buddah...

Big difference: Once the plant is harvested [as opposed to the latex] it stops producing latex. Whatever latex is in the plant [ there is a smidgen in the upper half of the stalk as well] quickly degrades so that it is only a shadow [alkaloid wise] of the harvested latex.

If you harvest the plant at the right time there are at least 2 methods of extracting most of the alkaloids without having to "milk" the opium. Sadly, these methods are not for the casual do it yourselfer. The idea of course is to harvest the alkaloids...not the opium. If your question is then will the two methods provide equal [or almost equal] amounts of alkaloids the answer is that machine based extraction provides a greater yield. however, the two processes are time consuming and require specialized equipment.
 
if I go to an asian store do I just ask for "poppy seeds" most of the time the workers there don't speak english well, is there a different way I can tell them, brand name, or in their language.

same with actual pods, when I go to a florist what should I say to make myself not look like I'm trying to make opium. do I just ask for poppy pods?
 
No way in hell its a placebo. All common sense and factual info, not to mention numerous people attesting to it PROVE just that it works.

Anyways, i use roughly 2lbs for tea. Costs about $2.75. Much cheaper and cost effective than pods. If you use enough you get as stoned as pods. It's easier to make than pod tea. I use the bottle method that juggalotus came up with. I used grapefruit juice, and it sends me into the clouds.

The only annoying part is always having to answer the nosey cashiers questions.

do you put the grapejuice in the bottle with seeds?
if so, how much grapejuice?
 
not grapejuice. GRAPEFRUIT juice. Grapefruit is similar looking to an orange, but bigger, and bitter. Grapejuice is made from grapes.

You put enough in to cover the seeds by an half inch to an inch.
 
Well, good to know this post is still going.

I personally use lemon juice, as someone said it converts some of the "good stuff" into "better stuff," whatever like I know; it works lol...

I've found that poppie seeds acquired from the local "persian" or "afgan" (i can't even tell the difference) store; and the brands of seed is in some type of middle eastern language; anyways these seeds are better than the normal american type manufacter. Well, I guess that makes sense...

The tea tastes like shit but it works, I definitely feel it and I'd say it's better than Tylenol #3's...

how do I get poppy seeds from these stores most of the employees don't speak english, how did you get this from there?

Well, in my case these employees do speak English (kind of).

But there really are no words involved in the transaction. I went around the store and just started looking for the spice section; come on ...it's a middle eastern store :-)

Needless to say their were many spice sections....it says the price of the seeds on the packaging (it doesn't cost $2 a pound, however, more like $5, but thats $5 for a pretty good high for me)...keep in mind I've never used more than like 30-40mg of Vicodan (*hydrocodone) and some T3's before, so I have limited opiate experience.

Anyways, with 5 packags of poppy seeds, I go to the counter. He rings them up, it costs $4.95 (99 cents a package!) and off I go.

I am really not afraid of getting weird looks from people in this store as I am the only white person in there and get weird looks from people as it is...

So to stop my rambling and answer your questions....find the poppy seeds yourself, in the spice isle, go to the counter, and show them the green.
 
Man my poppy seed tea habit is ridiculous, my preparation includes dumping about 2000 grams (around 4 lbs) into a bucket and stirring and let water sit in it for like an hour, then i have to drink like 3 cups of teh vile fucking liquid and i get a nice buzz. Honestly though, this shit is the devil, and it boosts your tolerance hardcore. All i've been doing as far as opiates is drinking seed tea for like a month and I can snort like 100mg of oxy at once and get pretty buzzed but not wasted.

I haver never been to China but I have been to Mynamar and Thailand [and other nearby places]. I also have a Hakka wife so I usually do not experience too many language difficulties when traveling there. As far as China, while it is extremely improbable that you would even find enough living opium addicts/users to populate a "den" you could esaily find enough heroin addicts [in most provinces] to keep you busy for the near future. If you make it back to China try down in Yunnan. It has replaced Thailand as the number one route of overland opiate smuggling out of Mynamar. Of course it is a crap shoot as a foreigner is likely to fall under "trafficer" regardless of intention and as I am sure you already know that easily results in execution [as it does in both Thailand and Mynamar [in differing amounts].

For opium, last year a good book came out about one reproters search for the "last surviving opium den in S.E. Asia." The author did in fact find one but it was far from the idealized vision most hold. It was a refuse laden hole in the ground [literally] that more closely resembled the underside of a person's porch rather than some brocade and velvet drenched parlor. I will dig out the author's paticulars as well as the title of the book, etc.

If you are considering a more personal search yourself you would be best advised to make your way to the Thai/Mynamar border and prepare to spend a little time at it. With all the Western trekkers making their way there in the last few years they have been innundated with people "searching out the real experience." Of course most local tribespeople no longer grow or use opium [with a couple of exceptions]. The Thai have even begun using opioid substitution therapy to wean the hardest cases. It has changed considerably, even without the scourge of YaaBaa. If you spend the time and effort, and are prepared to cross a forbidden border [to most] you will probably find what you are looking for...Mynamar at least still has a sizable amount of opium users [but their numbers are declining rapidly as well].

As to the subject of the thread, Dex, anyone that says "seed tea" has given them a more powerful experience [than "pod tea"] is doing something wrong. It is not really a debateable subject becuase one substance has the goods [pods] and the other [seeds] has none whatsoever. To each his/her own I always say so if you truly find it a great experience than count your blessings. I wish I could obtain a satisfying experience from seeds.

ABCD: Simply research the subject. If you look about on the internet you will find more than a few distributors of dried pods. They usually include pictures so that you may familiarize yourself with their appearance. That way when you go to the shops you can simply point to what you want. Here in NYC one can simply go the flower district and see cases and cases of them on display on the sidewalk. you really do not have to ask them anything. Of course you should never tell them what your intentions are, only that you are shopping for floral supples to make "favors" for a baptism [or some such nonsense]. Seeds on the other hand, are usually available in most supermarkets and do not require the assistance of anyone. just pick and pay.
 
is it true you can die from this tea? I want to be safe I'm going to start with a 1b. since I have no tolerance, I don't have much experience with opiates at all except the occasional hydrocoden's a few years ago. any suggestions?
 
damn, I'm getting confused I'm getting all different kinds of answers one person says 200g, you say 1/2 pound which is about that much and somebody else has told me 2 - 2.5 lbs.

so first i'll try a 1/2 pound, in a half liter of grapefruit juice, do I drink the whole half liter? how much time does it usually take to feel effects?
