I am really liking pods right now. The only way I can consume them is by grinding them up and mixing with cookie ice cream. I find tea to be terribly vile, not sure if my pods were dried improperly but the tea tastes like old jim socks. Mixed in the cookie icecream there is no problem. I have taken a steady prescribed 10mgx5 hydrocodone per day for 10 years for neuralgia from a surgery on my nuts. I wasn't expecting much from the pods but just 4 of them really give a nice heavy body high. I guess the poppy is my "allie" plant, some people are cannabis plant allies, some its the coco plant, some shrooms or peyote, others tobbacco. But God just made the mighty poppy my best friend. I've read a lot of extraction techniques but none of them look right to me. The stupidist one is the icelator where you are guaranteed to throw away at least half the actives. I think the correct base + solvent is a well kept secret that hasn't surfaced on the internet, probably just as well. The poppy icecream is fine for me.
verrry interesting. so just eating the pods raw works? i hate the taste of the tea too, and would me more motivated to buy pods if they were easier to ingest.
Yes ground in a coffe grinder and added to icecream you actually get more of the good stuff per pod. The tea can leave behind some of what you want and heat can deactivate some of it. I need 1/2 the # of pods in ice cream vs. tea.
Another thing I have stumbled upon is called Bergamot. You have probably heard that grapefruit juice binds some enzymes which leads to a better opiate high. Well grapefruit's close relative called Bergamot actually has more of the inhibitors. I have found that drinking double bergamot earl grey tea gives crazy potentiation, they sell it at Giant groceries. You have to get the earl grey made with real oil of bergamot. I fiound out about this because I like earl grey tea and I brewed some of this tea one day at work and had to leave early because I was so f-ed-up on my normal hydro regiment. I am absolutely hooked on this earl grey.
interesting. i've done the whole potentiator thing...drank a bottle of grapefruit juice, bottle of tonic water, and those other pills and whatnot and the only thing i noticed was being a little more groggy from the benadryl and dxm
So you grind up the pods and dump the powder onto your ice cream? That seems like it would taste disgusting. You said 4 pods gives you a nice buzz, so you dump four pods worth of straw onto your ice cream? How much ice cream are you using? Must be a lot... and how often do you dose?
where do you even find pods? do you have to order seeds and grow em or are there places you can just get the pods? also are they legal?
they are kinda a gray area, they are considered poppy straw which is illegal, but they are tolerated because of their wide use in crafts, and floral decorations. And blitz for finding pods google is truly your friend
I made a big mistake. Instead of using the coffee grinder I got lazy and used my blender. Mixed with the icecream the texture was too straw like to swallow, made myself sick. I now have a better method. Cold Grafefruit tea. Get a fine mesh tea strainer. Using the coffee grinder turn the pods into dust. Fill the strainer with the dust. Dunk in Simply brand grapefruit juice 30 times and squeeze. Use just enough juice to cover the strainer. Take a Soma. Hits like a blast of M from the Hospital. No gagging. I feel great. I only dose 1 a week but am on a daily regiment of 50 mg hydrocodone from the doctor. 4 pods is plenty. Avoid the moldy ones.
It's weird, no matter how much pod material I use and how much I drink I don't get anything out of it. Admittedly I did get to a near nod-like state, but there was no "high" before or during it. It was just like being really tired and falling asleep easily while sitting up watching TV. It does keep me out of WD though. Then again, I never liked or got anything out morphine either of the times I was prescribed it other than helping/keeping me from WD and some pain relief. But even when I tried to get something enjoyable out of it I wasn't able to and I was taking into account morphines low oral bio-availability. Guess it just really isn't for me. Still... I'll keep buying these stupid pods until I'm better able to manage my monthly script. *sigh*
