Yeah and you don’t want to get newer pharmaceutical/high thebaine poppies. I generally work on a 1:10-1:15 estimate for morphine content from the dried latex, to taste of course. It’s a biannual thing for me only so small scale works fine, but yes the road is fraught with dangers
Sounds like you have it worked out really well. And yeah if you’re using the latex that’s going to be way more consistent and reliable for dose than would be grinding the whole pod and/or using seeds which is usually how I’d do it. If you’re going with straight latex, I personally would just call that opium. (I didn’t have access to the pods I used while they were growing, so I couldn’t go and scar them. When I started with pods it was back during the “floral arrangements” heyday on ebay).
That’s awesome you use them only biannually. I think that’s the way to do it when it comes to recreation.
First batch is straight latex, but I do cook down the straw at the end of season too.
I get maybe 2 weeks or 4 weekends each time, is nice, and too laborious to develop a habit.
I feel for those with actual plugs tbh
I find that really cool tbh. At-home (or even cooler if it’s guerrilla) seasonal gardening. Being part of their growth and controlling the process literally from start to finish. Plus keeping any habit in check as a result, sounds to me like the ideal kind of relationship if you’re going to have one with opiates. I tried to do something similar once, but they never grew well for me and I was paranoid about some neighbors that hated me.
It really was a blessing but a huge curse back in the day when a person could order a giant box of dried pods for less than $100 and be able to stay high 24/7 for almost a month. That situation didn’t last though, they never do.
