Poppy pod tea is made from the dried pods of Papaver somniferum. This is the same poppy that is used to make all opiates (i.e. morphine, codeine, heroine, etc).

The dried pods are for sale all over the internet. There are online stores as well as sellers on auction sites. If you pay $1 per pod (including shipping) thats a good deal, but if you buy in bulk, shop around before purchasing. Of course, you could just grow your own.

When purchasing pods, remember to buy them chemical free and undyed. Another great tip is to buy larger pods. They usually are hand sorted and labeled in various grades: jumbo (largest), large, medium, small. The larger the pods the more refined your tea will taste. The smaller pods have a tendency to be very bitter from my experience.

Yes, the pods are technically illegal. Its a risk you will have to take when buying them. They are sold to be used in floral arrangements and various crafts. Don't ever inform the seller of your intentions. Use your head.

Idiot Proof Opium Poppy Tea Tek

This is a single serving recipe. 3-4 medium to large pods is a good starting dose. 5-6 may be too much at first. Use caution, opium can kill you. Don't get crazy with it.

First, we have 5 medium to large pods


Using a coffee/herb grinder, grind 2 or 3 pods (seeds & stem removed) at a time until all the pods you are using fit into the machine. Grind until its fairly fine.

$15 Coffee Grinder


Finely Ground Pods


Put the powdered pods in a small pot. You will need a small pot because of the small amount of water. Add 1/4 cup of water per pod. Put the mixture on the stove and turn the it on medium high.


Once it comes to a boil, stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Turn stove off. Remove from heat. No lid needed.


Let it come down close to room temp then strain. I have found that paper coffee filters, tee shirts, etc suck ass at straining anything. I use the micron filter from my 12 cup serving GE coffee machine. Its worth buying the machine for the filter. Works great for kratom tea too.


Add a pinch of sugar and you are ready to go for the first round.


Don't throw away that pod paste yet! You have 2 more boils to do. Just repeat the above steps again.

It seems to take about 30 minutes for the onset and a peak about 45 minutes after the third glass. Gulping upsets my stomach. Take your time, but not too much time. Don't drive or do anything stupid. Don't fall asleep either. Its such a waste. You are going to be extremely high if you follow this tek and get good quality pods.

EDIT: I thought I should reaffirm what others are saying: pod tea is addicitive. You can have withdrawls, and you can overdose. Be carful please, and read what others are saying so you know what you are getting into. Just because its "natural" doesn't mean it can't cause chaos.
