Storing - Shelf life?

[Herbal Healer 019]

A friend, (dont want to incriminate him), I'll call a teenage mutant ninja turtle, asked me if I knew how long poppy pods could b stored, assuming they were stored appropiately, and what if any was the possibility of mold forming. Having kno idea how to answer his question I turned to the forum for an answer...can ne1 help my dear teenage mutant ninja turtle friend in seeking an answer to this question? thanx

Assuming that the pods are stored properly they should dry up in which case they can then be stored for QUITE some time.The whole object is to avoid mold.ANY sign of it and SWIM would ditch the pod,don't mess with that stuff.Good Luck!!
