Poppy Seeds


Recommended Posts

Ok, this is something i heard the other day at the hookah bar from some of the owner guys, so i have no idea if its true, and i just wanted to see what people knew about it.

They were saying something about grinding up poppy seeds (which i believe is some component in opium) and sprinkling it on their shisha and getting an extra kick.

Anyone know if this is complete bull or not?

Poppy seeds contain opiods, but do not contain any substantial amounts of the five main chemicals in opium, morphine and codeine being the two most important ones. You could smoke them...but why? You're getting inactive opiods...nothing narcotic in nature...I think.

Exactly. You wouldn't get very high amounts of opiods. You probably would get a bunch of inactive isomers too.

alot of people report being able to make tea out of poppy seeds. Try researching on http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/ for information involving this. I would think adding kratom leaf would be a better experiance then smoking a bunch of poppy seeds furthermore kratom has extracts that range up to 25x so less then a gram of powder would be needed.

let me step in here because i have a substantial amount of knowledge in this subject. poppy seeds do contain active traces of opiates. but these opiates are very very very small because they are not contained inside the poppy seeds, but they are on the outside of seed. they get on the outside of the seed by bumping around on the inside of the poppy pods and collecting the goodies. grinding up the seed wont give you more of an effect just more poppy seed flavor.

if you want you can goto the market and get some papaver somniferum seeds in the cooking section (you'll need around 400g -- yea its alot) and make some tea out of it. you add some lemon juice because the acidity of it helps convert some of the base opiates into morphine. this however is a pretty bad way of getting high cause of the large amounts of seeds needed. the best way is to get the actuall pod.

you can get dried papaver somniferum pods on the internet or from a dried flower shop. you can do the same thing with these pods (making tea with lemon) but you only need 2 or 3 pods.

i know all this cause i have tried it.

also, opium is very sensitive to heat and i think that the heat from a hookah would destroy it anyway.

thanks!

Back in Iran we would smoke opium once in a while, it's a very relaxing drug.


Careful know. I know must of the drug talk we shun has to do with weed most of the time, but opium is no exception. We don't need to hear about your opimium trip wink.gif

I know this whole topic is a bit iffy, but everyone needs to make sure they don't chime in on how to properly smoke opimium or any drug for that matter. Just so everyone knows, thats all.
