Why is there not rampant use of opium?

SWIM has bought from a Canadian vendor before because of cheap prices, the customs form listed them as a different variety of dried floral then they actually were. Perhaps large shipments are also handled the same way.
 
Discussing sources or smuggling methods will get this thread locked and will get you a warning.

Cut it out.


I don't want to close this thread, as I'm sure some people are learning from it.
 
Poppies, kinda like pop, as in popping a pill. Hmm. I wish I could come up with a punderful one-liner.

Anyway, pharms have the advantage of people knowing what they're getting over buying random plant matter from a strange drug dealing individual. I mean seriously, who would ever do that?

The 10 acres part is most correct of all. Though in the start of The Wizard of Oz, doesn't it show a poppy field? I've always wondered if the creators of that movie did exactly as this thread suggests.
 
but to a non daily user. I could grow a few of them un noticed as long as I use my green thumb. I could score them and harvest a little bit of opium, enough for a few uses right? How many plants would it take for like a months supply that would just be for me and not actually using it all in a month? once scored I could still dry my pods and make tea still as not all of the liquid comes out right?

sure if you want, i like to eat the pods fresh picked and green <:D like apples
oral o feels more complete to me
 
Perhaps it is just the area that I live in but no one seems to mind the small garden of poppies I had right outside my house this summer=D I dont do it to harvest though so im not really worried.
I cant stand the tea and opium is a pain to harvest so its more for looks/decoration- I like to paint faces on the really big pods...

Ill admit that at times I have gotten desperate and went a slicin'.. working my way through and eating some goo along the way-nasty stuff but its better than tea. After that I would cut them down and make up some pod putty:\

WTF are you on about? Dried pods are easy to visually ID, it would be impossible to confuse them with any other dried material. Any vendor selling "random plant matter" in place of pods will quickly find him/herself out of business and smeared all over the internet as a scammer. I have never once heard of a pod scam being pulled thats how rare it is. And while pods can and do vary in potency thats true for all plant products.

Trust me its impossible to fool opium addicts, they know whether their receptors are being agonized or not.
 
Me either. I've even gotten freebies from pod vendors back in the day- 1/2 gram ball of poorly cooked opium hidden inside a pod for me!

I gave it to a friend since there was no way it was going to get me high. He loved the hell out of it.

yuck, fresh opium latex burns like hell on your tongue.

I find it kindof numbing in small amounts... weird. Although, I usually try and get it down quick without letting it sit around on my tongue too long.

It cant be worse than pod tea which I find myself physically unable to drink..:(
 
I've heard of people eating fresh pods "like oh so many fresh cherry tomatoes" do you have to empty the seeds first still? I can imagine just eating a whole fresh pod and it feeling oh so good. I like the method I've been using though, just eating the dried pods pulverized with some hot coffee or tea to wash it down and brew tea in your belly. I was concerned with constipation because opiates can do this too me, but I think ingesting the plant matter actually helped give me more fiber and not to be gross but I've been shitting freely latley. It is pleasant to be able to be regular again. They should sell poppy pod powder as a fiber supplement.
