ya pods are few and far between these days.
I wish I knew where to buy real smokable opium
I been on the pod tea tonight, still up 4 am.
I better get to bed. I find if you put 2 sober days in between your pod doing day you wont fall into withdrawals
if you do it any more than that and it wont work and you will feel withdrawls
so 2 - 3 times per week is the max
but if you stick to that rule strictly I find, for me anyway that you can juggle it
i dont think its really that bad for your health is it?
I pretty much quit drinkin and just do pods instead. alchol would ravage my body way worse than pods. or atleast it feels that way

Yeh I love pods myself. But since doubleeagle has ran out I've been forced to do a crash taper and it appears there are no good sites left.
There is cheappoppies.com which sells a half a pound for $77 but I can't live with those prices, thats the same as sweetpaulas whos charging $150
just for the full pound.
Then there is ceramiccottage which did not ship this year and poppyheaven.com which looked great at one point although I never got to try them.
Apparently he stopped selling those romanian pods all over a woman. What a fucking joke. He prob still has them too but just stopped selling all over
a piece of pussy.
I've even tried asking UK sites if they would ship to the states, places that had "worldwide delivery" on their homepage like pagan-magic.com. (the uk
site). Then there is another well known UK seller who only ships within UK.
There is advantage crafts which is a rip off. And poppyspods is praised over at the myotopia forums but I'm pretty sure he gets his pods from Double
eagle as they both ran out literally right at the same time (along with paula who seems like she'll be running out too).
This entire situation is a disaster. The only place that looks like they could have potential is poppiesplus.com located in oregon. Supposively their tazzies
are rocking but they need to make their prices a bit better, and apparently their customer service is terrible too. But through all this I may just wind
up placing an order with them.
Its a shame how the DEA is trying to protect big pharms by flying these fucking F-16s over poppy fields in US so they can shut them down. I'll shoot
one of those bastards down if I ever see them. I am absolutely undoubtebly growning my own tazzies this year which is why I'm doing one order with
poppiesplus, and then I'm just gonna have to supplement my opiate addiction with some shitty opiate like suboxone. But I've had enough of this. The
DEA can lick my balls. Leave us the hell alone. If they wanna get tough and bring the heat I'm going to 25 different locations all around my county and
dropping seeds in every field I see. I've had enough of whining and complaining, paying ridiculous prices to greedy assholes. I just need to somehow
supplement my habit now for 3 months and then I'm keeping my entire crop to myself lol.
If anyone learns of any places (which I'm sure you won't as I know everyone that exists) please let me know. I'm so angry at what has happened to the
poppy market. And my only way of fighting back is to drop seeds everywhere I go.
edit: I have more info to share about the poppy situation. Some of which is very interesting. Apparently since nobama came into office he has been shutting anything challenging the big pharmas. Such as alternative medicine practices and especially poppy cultivation. Like a lot of people already know, imports of pods stopped about 2-3 years ago. And because other regions of the world have hotter climates, most of the stronger somni strains are basically not existent in US.
Now to the interesting part. And I had no idea this was WHY so many of the pods we're getting are weak. There is the fact that they have cracked down on high morphine containing strains, like arizonas, but there is also the suns natural cycle. And in 2008 we were at a "solar minimum" meaning for 266 days of the year, we had no sun spots at all. Sun spots are essential for growing strong poppies, and we are currently in one of the deepest solar minimums we have faced in 100 years. This is horrible for poppies and a large part of the reason so many growers are having issues growing them to maturity. Along with the solar minimum we have a decrease in the suns temperature due to low activity. And a 1 degree drop in temp = a 1 week delay in harvesting time. The sun so far has dropped 5-6 degrees, which you can basically figure out from that that a lot of poppies are NOT EVEN mature now when they are picked.
The reality of this record breaking poppy "drought", is that nothing will get better untill 2 things happen. Obama gets the fuck out of office and stops shutting shit down. Or 2, the sun starts to make way back to its solar maximum, poppies become much easier to grow, making it easier overall for people to get them. It depends on DEA though too of course and what happens in the next few years as far as overdoses and fatalities. We had about 10 deaths in 2009 alone from poppy tea, which is 8-9 more a year than usual (theres a list out there and you can see every year its only about 1-2 deaths, then in 2009 it just explodes). So this has been the result of more than one factor obviously.
I did find a source, one who has been growing pods for over 60 years who has said next year will be his first year in a looong time that he will not be growing any at all. Its too much work now for too little return as these farmers not only have to deal with inflation from the economy (raising pod prices) but also have to deal with more work for less product which again = a raise in pod prices.
So for anyone wondering thats essentially the gist of this "shortage". The reality is its a near famine and things are not likely to get back to normal soon, so either learn how to grow your own poppies and hide it, or stop using tea all together. I for one refuse to stop using the tea, so I will be educating myself on how to grow them like I already said earlier in this post.

I was wondering, wouldnt it be easyer if harvesters instead of scoreing the pods to get the opium latex wouldnt it be easyer to just pick all the pods from the field put them in a big blender and puree them, then do a hot water extraction, then strain the mix and then evaporate all the water?
I cant find any pods anymore either
anyone have a good how too on growing them? what time of year do you grow them?

**ATTENTION ALL POD USERS**
Guys I really need help with this and have posted it both on bluelight and the mycotopia forums.
I'm not sure if I should make my own thread or not but I need as much traffic as I can find. For all US pod users your summer is about to become hell and I have a way we can fix this. I am collecting contact info of as many pod users I can find, and am organizing a chatroom seminar where I am going to tell pod users how they can get pods cheap for the rest of the summer.
But this is going to require we go about things differently and act as covert as possible. Any posting of this source online will exploit the source and bring it down in a matter of months likely. It will be the ONLY place you will be able to get them from till at least next august. And cheap too, better quality than doubleeagle but also not the best I've ever found. I have developed an extremely intelligent method of doing this.
Any pod users who reads this, find another pod user, spread the word, please PLAY YOUR PART and be proactive. The more people we can find, the better this will work. I am also not leaving this post up here for more than a few weeks. After that everything will be set, no new customers, and the people who missed the chat session will simply be screwed. Thats why I'm trying to find as many people as I can now.
You can ask questions but do it through pm. And this obviously only concerns US pod users, not UK/EU or any other country.
PLEASE if you have friends, I'm afraid I'm not going to find enough people and am working under a time limit here. I have basically located a supplier, but need to explain what you need to do. We can change this situation around now before summer comes and its too late. And even when places like DED are done harvesting in august, you will still likely prefer this place over them.
Thanks for your time - Bo
edit: also to answer your question big p that IS what harvesters do. They just lance the pods to see if they're ripe/ready. But when it comes time to derive opium EVERYTHING, stems, leaves, pods, are all throwin into massive baths of boiling water. Yet instead of boiling that water down (which would take forever in a commercial production sense) chemicals are added in a long drawn out process to extract the opium.
They can't just boil it down as its not economical, nor is it even the right way of harvesting opium. It just invovles a lot more chemistry. But that IS basically what they do already, just minus the evaporation part.
Also if you're looking to grow them I believe the time is coming soon. For anyone in north america early spring is the time to do it, we are there right now so I'm pretty sure you can start planting. I would personally wait through till after we clear our last frost, which will be a matter of weeks I believe.

Poppies are extremely easy to grow. They do not need to be fertilized. Spread them on the ground, give a little sprinkle of water. Young poppies like cooler weather. As they get older they enjoy warm, but not extreme tempuratures. Some good varities are Tasmanian Tazzies, Persian Blues, Afghans. I purchase my seeds from Izmir Spice and Oil and ebay seller exjordan.
As for the legality in the US, you may have seed and grow poppies, when you slice them to harvest the latex is when it becomes illegal. And they don't mess around, you will be going to prison.
I have never been one to use the pods for tea, although I may try it this year. I know in Tasmania they harvest this way. Slicing is a lot of work and you have to do many pods.
Good Luck

Yeh I actually found a large fenced in & abandoned piece of government land that has been vacant for years and NOONE I mean NOONE even goes near the place.
I use to sneak in through a crack in the fence just to go fishing. And I must have walked for 4 miles before I found a large open piece of land, right in the sun, that is in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere. You have to crawl under a fence, slide over a river on a broken bridge (walking sideways carefully step by step), walk through miles of poison ivy and tics just to get to it. Noone in their right mind would have any reason to go there, as if you want to do illegal things you can do it much further inland.
But I will be growing at least an acres worth as its really the best spot I've ever found. I will be looking up exjordan and hopefully he/she has quality taz seeds. I hear tazzies are the best, but also the hardest to grow. Well really they only grow 1 pod per plant, so I imagine you need to grow a ton of those things to be successful.
The only issues is I may not be able to maintain them, maybe once a week if it gets to dry outside, but they're right by a large freshwater river so I hope they can do alright on their own. Thats also another tip. Find a hillside by a lake/river, and plant them on the side of the hill that faces the water so they can get sun. I have a lot of steep areas like that that are virtually impossible to walk on, on steep riverside hills, which are really perfect imo for growing poppies along with the special place I found.

A couple of things for you to think about. Looks like you have a great spot, but remember poppies when they start to bloom and after bloom are very detectable by air. It is not illegal to grow them but if you harvest them it is illegal. What a stupid law. An acre is alot of plants. I would start out a little smaller. You need to till the soil and keep it weed free, as young seedling poppies to not handle weed pressure. Once the plant goes into heavy vegetative state they almost require little or no attention. At this stage let mother nature take care of watering, a poppy can thrive in very dry conditions.

Do you know or can you explain how to make it in to powder to add with my buds (its for my self). And which would be strongest ones to buy. Thanks

That sounds really shitty man....i got lucky and was given some.....
yes i do sundriedpoppies.com i ordered 12 large dried pods made tea properly with lemon juice simmered blended strained etc.. worst tasting crap i have ever consumed i drank it all to myself. be careful i did not take it very seriously cause i figured it would be weak i nearly killed myself i have never been that loaded on opiates before i was concerned lasted 24 hours mostly just laying in my bed nodding in an out while being itchy all over my whole body.

Ya my secret suppplier has just run out today too.
he was by invite only to previous customers and now even he is out.
luckily I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, but not enough to share by any means.
good luck boys.
On a happy note, my supplier who just ran out said this years crop will be a bumper crop and we will have lots of pods by end of July.
I think im just gonna find the best supplier late this summer and by a stockpile loolol

So I'm interested in growing my own. I have thousands of seeds given to me by a friend who no longer does them anymore. I know he was really heavy into it so I imagine that these seeds are good ones. I would like to know what they like as far as soil, temp, nutrients, when to harvest them, when to slice for latex etc. If you can pm me that would be great!

Someone recently posted a link to a read called "Opium for the masses" or something very similar in a recent poppy thread in the HS. Could propably google the name of it too. Might be worth a look for those questions!
