Dried or Fresh poppies?

[0utrider]

Hi
SWIM found 2 oder 3 poppies with around 4-8 medium sized pods. not sure yet, since he will wait another two weeks, there are loosing the flowers right now, but SWIM leaves this place in three weeks so he doesnt have a choice anyway and hopes there will still be there in 2 weeks

however. he knows its not too much but he has no tolerance right now, or not much, and will go for 3-5 pods depending on size. he wants to get most out of it so he plans to just take the pods and make a tea and maybe cook it up again one or two times during the high, he plans on that being the source of fluid for the day

he also plans on using the rest of the plant seperatly and cook everything out of there, of course he is aware that its not much and maybe not worth in comparison to the spent it but he doesnt really care. but of course the focus is on the pods..

so 3 questions:
1. how much water is needed for a good absorption of alkaloids into the water?
2. what is better, dried or fresh, for a tea? he will chop them in small pieces.
