I know the discussion about this class of drugs is discouraged on the nexus, but I still think it is an interesting topic nevertheless.
It is about an experiment I made. I ordered poppy pods for decorative purposes thinking they were constructed out of wood or plastic, and only look like poppy pods because well.. it was marketed as decoration, there was no mention of them being actual pods. As far as I know, selling them became illegal because you could technically make heroin out of them, so I was awaiting them to be just an imitation.
To my surprise, they actually were real dried pods. I could tell because they could be broken apart easily. Just grabbing them tightly would cause them to crack.
Because I had all these poppies, I thought I'm gonna try and make a tea out of them. Worst case scenario they won't be active.
A little back story.
In the recent time I have had some drug problems, mainly with coke but I was taking just about anything I could get my hands on on a daily basis. This lead to me feeling totally out of it, always being on the edge, feeling like crap, thinking I might even be going insane and so on.
Fast forward to today. Today I didn't do a whole bunch of drugs. I smoked a joint in the morning, microdosed aya soon after, had a cup of coffee in the early afternoon, cooked the tea in a airtight cook ware, let it sit for a few hours while going on with my day.
After all of it was done I drank the tea in a few gulps. The dose wasn't too high, since it was my first attempt at making this tea and I wanted to just kinda feel it and not get high off it.
It kicked in relatively fast. I could feel the effects within 15-20 minutes and it came on and off in waves, the experience was typical of that which you would expect from an opiate. It has been 6 hours since my last sip, and something strange happened. I'm completely sober right now, and I feel amazing.
I even cleaned my whole house just because I had the will and energy to do it. I also don't feel a compulsive need for more tea, or even any drugs for that matter.
It is almost as this reset my brain chemistry and now I feel just like I felt before I started abusing hard drugs. Healthy, fit, focused, no mood swings, no strange feelings, no questioning my mental health, nothing. As if I hit the reset button and I'm back at baseline.
This feels better than being high, I feel NORMAL for the first time in a very long time.
I truly find this state remarkable, and I am very surprised what got me to it.
I don't plan on using it anytime soon again, but this leads me to think about this substance with a different perspective.
After all this has been used for thousands of years, and it was prized as a medicine for every disease out there. It has been mentioned extensively in the Ayurveda and a lot of famous doctors in that time swore on it. Today I realized it might not be just because it feels good.
Pills and heroin only made me worse afterwards, but this was way different. Could this be because of the extra alkaloids found in the poppy?
Do we bash it because we've seen what isolated morphine does and figured that "since morphine is the main alkaloids of poppies, and morphine is bad, poppies must be bad too".
So far I have only this one experience with pods, and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems that the extra alkaloids cancel out the negative effects of morphine, and really work to heal a broken mind and body.
I would like to hear your guys opinion about this topic.
I am very aware that poppies do not posses any psychedelic elements to them, but it seems like it could be a potent medicine nevertheless if used correctly.
