hey all.
Setting aside the dangers of opiates. Swim has been curious about poppy pod tea for quite some time and has never tried it.So he obtained 25 dried poppy pods off ebay, just to experiment.
On another forum he learned that the taste is bad and the amount of tea that you need to consume is more the one may want to, given it's bad taste.
So..... he decided he might go ahead and make a tincture, and i thought mabey some of my fello nexian's might have some experience w/ this process and mabey have some suggestions for swim.
The process will be ofcourse grinding the pods and stems to a fine powder and mix half of the powder with 80 proof vodka as a solvent and let it sit in a warm bath for a few day's and agitate it atleast once a day.
After a few day's of letting it sit in the warm bath to extract the goodies, filter out the pod powder and then add the other half of the pod powder to the already saturated vodka and let it sit in a warm bath for a few day's and filter out the powder once again.
It's a very simple process (especially given the more sophisticated extractions that are discussed in this forum).I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with this and might have some suggestions for swim.Much Thanx
