Experiences - Opium and Poppy tea experiences

[catty]

Please post your experiences with opium here. If possible note way of use / route of administration, dose, onset, peak, duration and after effects.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SWIM has only done opium a couple of times, and SWIM mostly smoked it on top of weed (opidope). Its an opiate so its a pain killer. Its very relaxing and SWIM didnt want to move very much.SWIM heard that unlike pot, there is no real loss of potency if you eat it or if you smoke it. So with pot you'd have to eat like 3 times the amount that you could get stoned on while smoking, but you could eat the same amount basically of opium as smoking it and get a similar high.


The only real side effect that SWIM knows of is addiction, so be careful about that.

How long does the experience last? Are there any after effects? Hangovers?

[catty]

SWIM'd say it lasted for me shorter than the high SWIM got from the pot. maybe an hour and a half total? SWIM didn't feel any after effects, but i think that all depends on how much you do, and how often you do it. obviously if you do it enough, you will get symptoms of withdrawl. but i dont think there are any mentionable after effects

SWIM has done opium about 30 times, SWIM doesn't like smoking it but catty is right, if you want to eat it, have at least 1/3 of a gram. it's a great drug IMO, makes you feel very calm and warm, and effects use to last around 8 hours, depending on the dose (SWIM likes the best to eat it, half a gram is a good dose).


the bad thing about it is nausea, be sure you have none or little food in your stomach, and that you don't move much, otherwise you will most probably vomit.


itmight also become veryaddictive, asopiates make you feel really well. don't do it more than once or twice a week if you can find it easily (here it's hard to find, but SWIM has been told it's widespread avaliable in spain, and as cheap as hashish).

[eluwei]

I just have one piece of advice for anyone who wants to try opium: don't smoke it before you have something important to do. From my experience, SWIM found that it's really hard to pay attention to things. You just space out, and have no clue what's going on (i.e. if a friend is talking to you). SWIM also experienced a LOT of stupid thoughts. Opium has become my favorite drug.

There are only a few REAL dangers of opium.Getting fake opium is one, which can happen easely. Dragons Bloode inscence looks alot like Red Rock opium, but that can be solved easily by cutting the rock in half.If you find a whitish substance that can be broken away from the actual tar, youve found dragonsbloode. The other danger is having an allergic reaction, which has happened in a good number of people, which causes the mouth and throaght to be puffy.


other than that little boys and girls, its an overall good comfortable tingly feeling, and its really very fun.

Mmmm. Dreamy. Friend of mine had a ceramics studio and made us all clay opium bowls for chrissie pressies one year, copied from the traditional Chinese versions. Nobody ate much at the party. We were all lazing around on cushions and couches like some neo-Roman shindig. Smoking the first time? Sideways euphoria weird in slow-mo.

The warning label: Of course opium is addictive. Keep that sorta thing for blue moons and similar events, five or six times a year max. I've seen people take a hit like they were smoking weed, seen the distress in their face as they aren't sure whether to cough or puke and then do both. Some folks get tres itchy (more so than with other variations). 25-50 mgs of otc antihistimine helps. Smoke a little and then add to it if needed--it's like painting, adding color is easy, taking it away, difficult and unpleasant. Do not drive or operate machinery more complicated than a can opener.



Never adulterated either weed or opium with either, so I don't know about that, but I'd personally keep em separated. Both on their own are just dandy. Never myself, nor heard of anyone hallucinating, but the euphoric quality of opium can produce vivid (always pleasant in my xp) dreams, sometimes a sort of waking dream, esp if you're curled up with someone you feel fuzzy towards anyway.

[sands of time]

Opium is very magical in the feeling. You feel absolutely good all over, almost like being drunk without all the negitive effects, and you feel much better. You just get very relaxed and everything is peachy...

[markdahman]

What about sex and opium? haha Im sure this would be preety fuked up!

[Kemikaru_Tenshu]

^^^Opium contains morphine, and morphine oftencauses an inability to ejaculate in some men. Although this can be good for the girl as you can technically go forever, it can be frustrating for the guy. JMHO.

Not morphine, but SWIM ate six 50mg tramadol and had sex for 2 hours, still didnt climax.

but related to Poppy Tea, it takes SWIM about 30 minutes to climax.

Smoking opium is like being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy blanket whilst
floating in the amniotic fluid of your mother's womb. No cares,
worries..everything is grand. Be careful if you mix it with
alcohol- SWIM did, and SWIM could barely walk for hours.



SWIM has smoked and eaten it- smoking is definitely more fun and more of
a pleasurable, controlable buzz. Eating made me nauseous,
dizzy, and scared- mind you,SWIM did chow down on one whole gram (which SWIM
wouldn't advise to an opiate-naive person), and I was watching Blue
Velvet. Creepy. The comedown was rough- cold shivers,
nausea, dizziness.



Smoking in a regular weed pipe may or may not work for you, cuz the
opium melts and runs- it can plug your pipe up. Use
porcelain/clay bowls like the Portuguese used to, maybe augment it with
a bit of exotic tobacco. Even though SWIM don't smoke cigs, SWIM would
recommend a bit of tobacco, or possibly weed, in order to insure the
inflammation of the O.



Opium is a magical drug- check out the writings of Coleridge or
deQuincey...Just make sure you respect mother Opium, cuz if you don't,
she's gonna kick your ass....

SWIM has only ever smoked opium, never done it orally or anything. the aroma is absolutly the most pleasant swim has had the privledge of smelling. it is a wonderful drug if swim wishes to relax and ponder upon the small things in life. it makes you feel extremely lazy, ad warm. its kinda hard to explain for me, but SWIM loves opium.

[Axel]

Posting from a country (Iran,) which is to Opium what Jamaica is to Ganja , I can inform you that eating O is not the way to go, as within half an hour you will certainly look and feel like a person who has just shot up O's bastard; Heroin.


I must let you non-Asians who have little experience with smoking the stuff that using direct heat ( be it by a lighter or matches,) on your O will not give you the best possible effect.


Those of you who've seen the old Chinese dens probably know that when the O is put in bowl of a clay pipe, a piece of burning coal is placed near the Oto get it slowly boiling, or that the O isheated on a small aplliance which looks like a grill, and the subsequent fumes are inhaled through a pipe.


As with most other narcotics, O has more than 1 appearence and taste--in the Golden Crescent (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran,) it is very likely to be quite brown and as many put it "like chocolate," with a strong, bitter taste and fumes. In India I found the type which is dark red and has a very pleasant, fruity taste and smell.


It seems most of the O produced in the Golden Triangle (Burma, Thailand, Laos,) also fits the description of the former type.

[Dexhate]

Swim would like to know which is the 'classic' way to smoke it. Should be raw or cooked? Swim would get a lil' ball of O on a needle, pass the O ball on the flame for a couple of seconds till it gets smooth then stick on the hole of the pipe bowl, use a candel to light it up while inhaling..
Is it right?

here's swim (BAD) experience with poppy seeds he had the last two days...

swim bought a pack of poppy seeds in the supermarket, 250g. late at the evening, he "extracted" them by this way: putting the seeds in a 1.5l coca cola bottle, warm water on the top, shaking it for 5 minutes, let it sit 15 minutes, and so on for about an hour.

then, filtering the water through a coffee filter, and drinking it. taste was bitter, but not that much that he had to cover it up.

at first, swim was feeling very good, with a very slight nausea, was chilled, sedated, and the pain in his wisdom tooth he had was gone.

2-3 hours after drinking the extract, swim went to bed, and here the story began...swim woke up with very very strong nausea, and eventually he had to, actually, run to the toilet to throw up. this went on for the whole night, alternating between trying to sleep and throwing up. his stomach was feeling very bad, the nausea was almost painful.

the next day, at work, swim tried to work for 3 hours, but eventually it got that worse, that he had to go to the nurse, and there they gave him metroclopramid and dimenhydranit, which helped a bit, but sedated him further. so he slept through for about 8 hours at the nurse's station, then went home and slept through the whole rest of the day and the night. sometimes waking up, the nausea was getting better and better, and now it's gone, leaving only an "overall bad feeling" in the body. and a nasty diarrhoe.

the doctor at the nurse' station told swim he has gastroenteritis, and was concerned about very slowed down movement of his guts, but it was there, at least a bit. now when swim goes to the toilet, only "water" comes out where usually more "compact" stuff comes out.

so, swim doesn't know if he did something wrong...

This is a perfect example of why caution is always a must with opiates. I am not saying that SWIHenfer wasn't cautious, it's just opiates can make some people sick in dosages lower than it takes other people to just feel it.
SWIM has been violently ill from pods before - it has always passed in a couple of days.

[Henfer]

swim thought he'd have pretty high tolerance as a regular tilidin and codein user....

yeah.. morphin is totally another class of opiates, it seems to swim...

[PTW]

Recently, someone I know tried PT. Usage was as follows;

4 medium pods, ground to powder
Brought 1.5 cups of water to a rolling boil
Emptied pod powder into pot
Boiled for 2 minutes
Pulled pot off of heat, let the mixture steep for 15 minutes
Squeezed liquid out of the mixture into a coffee cup
Added 2 huge lumps of sugar
Stirred
Guzzled drink down


Within 20 minutes he began to feel the warmth come over him. Within 30 minutes he was in full blown bliss.

Even though it's been said that boiling the straw breaks down some alkaloids in it, other research has turned up that a quick boil is worth it.

He hasn't tried any other manner as of yet with his tea, but I think he will try other methods in the future.

bump....

Preview: SWIM has no opiate tolerance, but has done pharma opies (oxy, coedine, morphine (administered)) before, and one time smoked opium (?)--well it sure wasn't weed! The pharma stuff was fun when used slightly in excess of prescribed doses (like 20mg oxycodone), but the smoked opium (unexpected and on top of much beer) was too intense--semiconscious, nodding, vomiting, and too out of it to even talk to others trying to converse with him.

Mindful of that experience, SWIM bought 540g of poppy seeds and 2qt lemonade. He combined the 1st qt (heated) with the seeds, stirred 20 min, strained, then poured in the 2nd qt and left it to steep.

SWIM drank 1/2 qt, waited 1 hr, then finished the qt. During this time, he noted a warm feeling, mild nausea, and increased sensitivity to light. Mild euphoria also noted. No significant pinning of pupils.

SWIM then took the 2nd qt to a concert he attended. He downed it right before the concert (like T+2hr). Slightly more intense symptoms as before, especially the nausea (no vomit, though). Some sedation.

SWIM was surprised at the subtlety of it. He was expecting opium to be a "bad mofo" of a drug, yet it simply produced a somewhat warmer, sleepier, queasier, and happier version of himself. He might try for a bigger dose (this time more quickly and in the company of a sitter, preferrably one armed with IV opiate blockers and knowledgable in how to use).

[Emmajs]

Swim just uses a $20 Wallmart coffee grinder to turn his flowers into almost powder and simply mixes with grapefruit juice or lemonaid. He only needs 2/3 as many flowers in his arrangement for the same view.

Poppy tea is amazying. It's like the high of vicodine (hydrocodone) but the long lasting high of oxycontin
