The Opium Poppy FAQ

FAQ :: Poppy Tea :: How do I determine how many pods to use?

The amount of pods used can vary widely by strain and pod size. So just because one batch can be effective with 10 pods, another might only need as few as three for the same effects. So always keep this in mind when deciding to brew tea.

Whenever you have a bunch of pods, it is best to first grind one up, and measure how much powder a single pod makes. After you have measured that out, grind all of your pods and mix the powder to create a homogenous product. By creating a homogenous powder you don't have to worry so much about variations in potency from one pod to the next.

When it comes time to make the tea, you can measure out the amount of powder for a single pod and be relatively confident that it will be of similar strength to the rest.

Please keep in mind that you are dealing with a potentially deadly substance of unknown potency and adulteration. Overdose is a very real possibility, as well as a host of other potential problems associated with introducing substances of unknown quality and potency to your digestive system. This and all of the information on this site is provided in the interest of protecting those who have already made the decision to use these substances. If you are not currently an existing user then do not start. That being said, if you're going to insist on trying this, it is imperative you take it slow or risk "very bad things" happening to your body.
