Micho~Riso's Illustrated PST Recipe
mods: I'm just a GreenLighter, so please edit and/or place this post in it's proper place
A bit of background:
• I'm a big fellow (6'2", 305 lbs), have a moderately high opiate/opioid tolerance (90mg hydrocodone dose) built up over the past 8 years, and I inherited a pre-disposition to addiction that (I believe) helps promote my overall drug tolerance.
Preface:
• I have read and tried many suggested opiate/opioid potentiation methods, but personally notice no advantages worthy of adopting any of the methods permanently. I have found that the addition of OTC DXM and/or diphenhydramine do add a pleasant 'bonus' or 'combo affect' to my daily opiate dose.
• The following is for entertainment purposes only. I do
not condone use of this recipe or the production any illegal opiate/opioid. I
strongly discourage the ingestion of
any opiate/opioid without the instruction and assistance from a licensed, professional healthcare provider.
My personal advice to others is: if you've never ridden the opiate train, don't get on it.
Recipe: The following PST recipe is one I've come to through more than two years of daily preparation. It is much the same as other recipes found on the web, with a few different techniques I've found beneficial to the desired outcome.
Supplies
1.
(1) lot Poppy Seeds (preferably more than 1.5-2 lbs (24-32 oz); can be purchased online or at local, specialized food markets)
2.
(2-3) Containers with secure lids (1 quart canning jars are ideal, and will be used in this example)
3.
(1) Scoop (for seed transfer; a measuring cup works very nicely)
4.
(1) Small Strainer (note: large strainers have larger mesh, allowing seeds to pass through; small, hand-held strainers have smaller mesh, trapping tiny poppy seeds)
(images: large bag of papaver somniferum seeds 3 quart-sized jars with lids, 1 small strainer, 1 measuring cup)
Steps
1.
Get some (Papaver Somniferum) poppy seeds.
a. Other strains of poppy seeds such as Orientale, Rhosea, etc. do not produce the alkaloids we desire for this tea. Papaver Somniferum seeds are pale blue to dark blue or black in color. Some common poppy seeds (without opiate alkaloids) are reddish-brown in color.
b. Fresh, good Papaver Somniferum seeds smell ‘earthy’, much like dirt or soil. Bad seeds will smell and/or taste much like black pepper. ‘Black pepper’ seeds are worthless for making tea.
2.
Using your scoop, move 1.5-2 lbs (24-32 oz.) of seeds to a single container for washing.
a. Note: seed potency varies considerably, and cannot be measured precisely. Papaver Somniferum seeds will yield a full range of opiate alkaloids. Overdosing is possible. When allotting seeds for washing, start small and work your way up to a desirable allotment
without harming yourself! Don’t be a jackass.

b. For this example, we will be washing approximately 1.5 lbs of seeds. The author has found this to be a reliable, single dose. (Note: The author has a high tolerance, and this recipe yields a considerably large, strong dose)
(image: approximately 1.5 lbs (24 oz) of seeds in a jar container)
3. Add cold water to your seeds for washing.
a. For best results, use cold water in an amount that settles just above the top layer of seeds.
b. Hot water tends to yield poppy seed oils, which are undesirable.
c. When compared to hot or warm water, cold water tends to yield the best solution.
(image: approximately 1.5 lbs (24 oz) of seeds in a jar container with cold water added for washing)
4. Wash your seeds.
a. Shaking or washing your seeds is the most important and widely disputed (in terms of applied time) step in your process. The author has learned that when vigorously shaking the seed/water solution, 1-5 minutes is optimum and additional time does not yield a better product. Additional shaking/steeping begins to produce poppy seed oils as opposed to more alkaloid content.
(image: capped jar container being shaken vigorously by hand)
5. Filter (strain) your wash
a. After shaking your seeds for approximately 3 minutes, your water solution will have absorbed a desirable amount of alkaloid dust. Note the beautiful, dark, milky appearance of your solution. This is good. The darker the solution, the better.
(images: using strainer to separate seeds from shaken wash)
6. Repeat (wash & filter)
a. Your seeds can be washed up to 4 times with significant to noticeable yield. After the 4th wash, yield is negligible. (I have discovered that the first 3 washes produce desirable yield; this example demonstrates 3 washes).
b. The first 2 washes will yield product of significant potency. Potency (determined by estimation: based on darkness of color and bitter taste) declines exponentially after the 2nd wash. (The darker color and more bitter taste are measures of higher potency).
c. For this example, the 3rd wash is separated into two batches. The first amount is added to the current brew to attain desired quantity and the remaining amount is added to an empty container to be used as ‘starter fluid’ for the next batch.
(image: final product yields approximately 1 quart of yellow/brown colored, slightly bitter tea, and enough 3rd wash yield to use in beginning the next wash)
Notes:
a. 15 minutes. This process takes a maximum of 10-15 minutes from start to clean-up. A nice dose of tea in the morning is a great way to start the day. The author likes to make a spot of tea before work each day. Some days call for an afternoon follow-up.
b. Clean your mess! Poppy seeds are miniscule in size, and no matter how careful you are, they will get all over your preparation area. Unapproving spouses, guardians or other authorities will certainly end your tea making days if you don’t clean up after yourself.
c. Spread the wealth like a ‘Johnny Poppy Seed’. Why flush away or trash your used seeds when you can pitch them out in the back yard, a nearby vacant lot, or countryside? Birds love poppy seeds as much as you do- trust me. Share your used seeds with Mother Nature. (If you’re exceptionally lucky, she will pay you back).
d. Storage time is minimal. PST will turn rancid in a very short time depending upon temperature. I've learned that
refrigerated tea will not spoil when stored for up to 72 hours. However, in temperatures above 80°F, PST will begin to sour in as little as 3-4 hours. And I do mean sour, son. Rancid.
e. Be careful, dammit! Remember: You are brewing up opium in a most crude fashion. You cannot precisely determine potency. Use your common sense. Never over-do it. This is serious shit, sailor.
So there's that. Enjoy.
