    Looking to get into tea for back pain.

    So ive been wondering where the best place to start is. I don’t have any tolerance and what’s the best route using seeds or using pods I’ve seen examples of both but not sure how to do it and haven’t had much luck online.

    Making PST in advance?

    Hey all!

    Just a quick question, how long does Poppy Seed Tea last after being made?

    If I want some in the morning can I make it the night before?

    If so, do I have to refrigerate it or room temp etc?

    Cheers in advance!

    Will shop start asking questions?

    In Aus, a certain place I’ve found have almost the same type of seed I used to have back in 2021…. Super earthy flavour with that nice sour tinge to it, and smooth effects. However, they only sell in small amounts…. What are the chances of questions being asked if I order online and go in store as well too often, I went today, but I must have more of this for weekend..Anybody have any suggestions? I’m sh*t out of luck with oxy atm.

    Measure the content of alkoids in poppies

    As the header states, I wonder if you somehow can measure the content of alkoids of the latex in the poppies - not the seeds! Like, what's the percentage.

    Why I'm wondering is because I have a variety of different high alkoids strains and is curious, and also for safety.

    Weight?

    Have crushed up some of my harvest. Maybe 40 pods. Seemed suprised by the weight? Deseeded the total weight came to 35g. Ive heard most pods are atleast a gram? I don't believe any went missing and the average size was maybe bit smaller than a golf ball.

    So it's confusing me about dosing. Some say 3 to 5 pods or 10g but considering each pod was under a gram im a bit confused?

    Extraction question

    Is it possible to evaporate the tea and get left with a paste or a powder from the poppy seeds and use that to dose or smoke. Idk if silly question or not just curious if anyone else has tried.

    Is Pod Tea Worth it?

    Hey newbie here who rather liked the feeling of hydromorphone when I used some after my back surgery. My recreational drug policy has always been natural products only, such as shrooms, weed, kratom, etc, and I recently became curious to try the one and only opium.

    I'm big on product safety so decided the only way I'm going to try this is if I grow my own. It's been a few years with a few failed crops (learned a lot, this year I'll succeed), and this year will be the first year I have a successful harvest.

    I like to be in social settings with friends having deep conversations while I'm using drugs. With that said I've read experiences of people recounting exciting tales of "nodding off" on opium. Personally I dislike the idea of taking drugs to turn into a motionless zombie.

    Does this happen every time on opium? Is there a dose/strength level I can take to feel good/euphoria/social while not being comatose at the peak?

    Thank you for reading.

    Question about varieties

    I read that breadseed poppies(somnifer) have almost no morphine and primarily contain papavaine I'm looking to obtain papavaine or all the minor alkaloids without the opiates. But when I looked to see which variety would be best I found that opium poppy is also somnifer. So when they have the exact same name but different chemical profiles how would I know which seeds contain papavain and are for food and which contain morphine.

    Does anyone feel like refrigeration changes the efficacy?

    I usually make my batch at night and refrigerate the leftovers for the next day. It always feels to me that the refrigerated tea isn’t as effective as when it was warm and just made. Is that all in my head or is there some science behind that?

    Was anyone kinda shocked at how much time had passed?

    When the seeds were good I was in what felt like a years long dream that I only realised I was in once the poppy seed drought forced me to quit.. I was just constantly high. Poppy tea is insane like that compared to other opiates with the half life being so lengthy. You literally never come down. Can't believe I was on this stuff for five years.

    How is this level of inconsistency possible

    It’s literally 50:50 with one bag being decent and then next pallet the supplier gets is entirely bunk (currently the case fyi) and this is the case whether from Netherlands or EU (iykyk)?!? I just can’t figure out how the apparent exact same crop (would have to be if it’s mere weeks between supply) produces such markedly differing quality (or lack thereof)

    50 poppy pods

    I got 50 poppy pods my idea is to make them all powder and mix them all together so I have a base consistency in my doses it would be my first time so how many grams should I do ?

    I seen people recommending for a first time 5 or 10 grams it would be my first opiate experience the other close experience I could say I have is kratom. I know the risk that why I want to know how much should I dose to be safe

    Lomotil for withdrawal

    Hey all, I plan on jumping off after Christmas day this year, seeds in Aus have been pretty average but I’ve still managed to maintain a decent habit some how even through the bad drought, I had a very niche source.

    Anyways I’m over it and ready to stop, tried tapering a million and one different ways and it just doesn’t work, so cold Turkey with comfort meds is what I’m going for as I’ve got like 2 and a half weeks of work and can basically just chill and go to the beach everyday.

    Anyways I’m looking for advice on using lomotil. I’ve used lope in the past and it honestly worked really well I’d pop like 4 in the morning and 4 at night and it took the edge of big time. I’m thinking lomotil will be similar but potentially work better ?

    I’ve also got access to pretty much unlimited benzos, which I’m gunna be using freely. I know the risks and everything I’ve used them plenty over the years and can quit them very easily when I need to.

    I’m thinking the benzos to take away that anxious restless feeling as well as general anxiety, sleep and RLS. Then the lomotil or lope for that anxious stomach feeling like it’s in a knot feeling as well as the obvious diarrhoea as well as just that faint little warmth it can bring back to your body. Also got plenty of good bud and cbd/thc tincture which is a god send for the RLS and boredom. And of course some vitamins/supplements.

    Sorry for the essay, just writing it is helping me get things prepared in my head to. Thanks for hearing me out.
