I have some poppy heads that im currently deseeding. I was wondering if there is a recipe to make a tincture from poppies. The only thing I was thinking, is that you might not be able to get enough actives into a small enough amount of alcohol using poppy straw as opposed to opium. Any ideas?

Mixing opiods and alcohol isnt a great idea in the first place.. Tea works fine, boiling down the tea into puddy works great too if the taste bugs you that much.

Maybe you could look in the Merk Index and look for solvents that you could wash it with to get out some of the impurities. Then run it trough a still at the vapoisation point. Just an idea.

i would think stong grain alcohol would get all the fun actives.......
just be carfull....not sure if potency would vary from normal tea
maybe take one pod, crush it up, soak, filter, then evap some of the alcohol? so maybe it would work out to 1/2 ounce(shot) is a dose
