Poppy pod/seed tea...
    #10117828 -

Hello guys. I've been a member of this forum for a few years but haven't posted in a while. I'm looking for information about Poppy tea. More specifically, Poppy pod tea. I have some questions about it and don't know where else to ask.

For one, every recipe I've read says to take the seeds out before cooking up the tea, but I've always heard you can make tea with just poppy seeds, so I don't understand why you wouldn't just leave them in and brew them up along with the pods. Can someone clear that up for me?

Also, is lemon juice a necessity? I was told by a friend that vinegar works just as good. Can someone explain to me what lemon juice actually adds to the tea?

I brewed my first batch of tea with 20 pods and split it with a friend. I felt very good, and for the price it was unbeatable, but I'm wondering if there's any way to enhance the high. It lasted a while but wasn't very strong. I'm a very experienced opiate user and would like to get away from pills altogether, hence the tea.

This is what I did :

20 poppies (small to medium sized) in the blender for 2 minutes
I brought a pot of water to a boil, dumped the pods in and turned the burner down. It boiled for about 30 seconds, then I let it simmer for about 30 minutes while stirring.

I took a T shirt and filtered the pods through it into a pitcher, then squeezed the shirt as hard as I could to get everything I could out of it.


I added honey to the tea and split it with a friend. He reported feeling nothing at all, while I felt fairly good for quite a long time.

I'm wondering if I should take the chopped up pods after making the tea and brew them again in the same batch to make the tea stronger, would this work? I'm scared to use more pods because I don't want to overdose obviously, but it would be nice if the buzz was enhanced just a tad.


Anyway, I'm looking for any and all advice when it comes to poppy pod tea, so feel free to drop me any suggestion you might have.

You're fucking up bro.

First of all, get a french press.

If you put ground up material for 20 pods in a french press and split it with someone, you'd probably die unless you had a really high tolerance.

Also, never, ever boil water while you have material in it.  You're just breaking down the actives.

Buy a french press for 10 bucks.

Grind up pods in a coffee grinder.

Put a tbsp per person into the press.
Boil water, let it cool for a second so its only steaming.
Pour water into press.
Let sit for 15 minutes.
Push the press down, and serve.

YES. biggest thing is to not boil the pod material at all, not even for one second. let it steep in hot water for 5 minutes and you'll be golden. oh, and if you need more than 4 pods/person, you have shitty quality pods.

I'm not even sure what a french press is, can you buy one at Wal Mart? I know 10 pods apiece is normally considered a lot, but these pods aren't very big and I have a very very high tolerance to opiates in general (I typically have to do upwards of 120mg of Oxycodone to get high, just to use an example).

I got my pods from a website, is there a better place to order them? I've read so many contradictions about whether or not to boil the water, but I'll try it next time without putting the mix in while boiling.

Here's a pic of the pods I was using.

dont ever gauge your dose on the number of pods. you should powder your pod material and then use a measuring cup to get a more accurate dose

but yes, get a french press. and next time do your homework before dosing

Yeah, you can get one at wally-world probably.  If not, check Target or other home-type stores.


I wouldn't go with the measuring cup idea, I always measure my grounds by the tablespoon.

Seriously, the french press is the difference between a bunt and a grand slam.


And what do you mean, 120 mg oxycodone?  Like, you take 12 percocets with 10 mgs oxy each to get a buzz?  Or like one and a half 80 mg Oxycontins?


And for heaven's sake, remove that link from your post.  No sources.

...or a Mocha pot.

I don't think pods are a good idea. It seems they are the worst of the opiates. Less pleasant high, and there are many different actives that will linger and metabolize into other actives for a few days in your system, making it more addictive than synthetic opiates. Someone that is able to stay ahead of physical addiction with something like oxy is likely to fall into addiction with something like pods. Doing pods every other day or every few days is sort of like doing opiates every day.

A lot of people on the shroomery and e-dot forums have reported some nasty addictions with pods.

Boiling poppies for prolonged amount of time is not good. It extracts unnecessary crap that can hurt your stomach more. BUT... boiling them for ONE minute at the beginning and end of the tea making process will ensure you got all the good alkaloids out.

I've boiled my pod tea in the past, to reduce the amount of water I need to drink, and each time I've felt fuckin great.

hey  whats up i had to post i have been makin tea for about a year now. i have been takin opiates for prolly 7 years. heroin, oxy"s( hillbilly heroin),methadone and whatever else i can get my hands on. but i have regularly kept tea in my fridge for almost a daily consumption. my tolerance is way to high. so i will stop tea for several days and it goes back down. but here is my method.. i tried alot of different recipes but this works best for me
  i crack open all the pods and separate the seeds out. if u come across a pod with black in it throw it out it"ll give u diarea. throw out stems too.. i will crush the open pods in a big blender and make powder. then i put it into a big container i got all the powder plus seeds.. then add lemon or lime or vinegar which turns it into a higher stenght.( something to do with the chemical reaction)drugs.com then i add warm/hot water and shake my ass off. i realized that boiling water reduces the effect. then i will strain out the liquid in a shirt. if u just throw the pods into the blender without separating the seeds it turns to a milky substance and is discus ting. DO NOT CRUSH SEEDS add then separate from powder. its a pain but it worked the best for me and i have tried alot of ways.just put ur own little spin on it. i strain into a big frying pan and keep dumping the liquid into a koolaid container. now after i am done i us ally make a gallon at a time. but i use alot of pods. i will pour into a big gas station cup 32 ouncer and i add TANG it kills the grossness and its actually not bad plus i get my vitamin c. aight peace get at me for any questions. o ya i am high right now writing this woo woo

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY would push thinkers of trying this road to turn and go the other way.

this shit put me in P-A-I-N. maybe certain methods of opium are legit and do their appropriate pain-relif, but straightup opium tea was just a bad bad experience for me. watching johnny depp die the slow painful death in DeadMan, feeling like i was being put through something of the same sort....uncool man.

Pod tea is great and horrible. Im still trying to figure out if it's worth it.

I really enjoyed what I got from the 20 (split with a friend, so 10) pods and apparently a horrible method. I understand the addiction potential. I'm already addicted to opiates pretty badly, which is one of the reasons I'm trying to use the tea in its place. I know it's substituting one addiction for another possibly, but I just recently lost my job, thus my insurance and my suboxone treatment. All I'm really looking for here is advice on the tea. I'm going to pursue the tea regardless of anyone else's bad experiences with it. It may end up being a bad choice in the end, but I'd like to be educated more on it at least. I truly enjoyed what I got from about $5 worth of pods the other day, so hopefully if I can refine my methods I can get even more from it.


Anyway, now that that's out of the way, I basically need to get a coffee grinder and a french press, grind the pods into a very fine powder and measure the doses that way? If I do it with this method, then the size of the pods shouldn't matter, just the amount of powder, is that right?

Once I have the powder, I bring some water to a boil, turn the burner off until it's not boiling, pour the pod powder and water into the press, let sit for 15 minutes and then push the press down? Do I still add lemon juice or vinegar to this mixture?

I really appreciate all the advice, keep it coming. If I use this powder + french press method, is the end result going to be a much more potent mixture? If so, I'll lower the pod count quite a bit before brewing it up.

Basically yes. I wouldn't eat 12 percs because of all the tylenol, but to get a good buzz I typically have to do an 80 and 1/2 of another, or 3 40's, etc. I have a similarly high tolerance to morphine and hydrocodone as well. I know the tea itself is addictive but at least until I get insurance again it will be a cheaper substitute.

Another thing I've always read is that grapefruit juice enhances an opiate dose. Is this something that would work with the tea? Should I just mix it in the tea or drink it separately.

Once I get my method down I also wanted to know if it's OK to brew up say a week's worth of tea and store it in the fridge? I didn't know if cooling it would kill any of the drugs/alkaloids or whatever in it. I'd like to make a super concentrated batch of tea and mix it with some regular tea as the taste is just awful, but I don't know if that'd work.

Anyway, I appreciate all the advice I've gotten so far, this place has always been a fantastic resource for me. I didn't mean to come in here so ignorant and anger anyone. I didn't realize posting links to legal sources of things was against the rules, but I won't make that mistake again.
