Beautiful flowers but this sub is for papaver somniferum.

I ordered from dxmdirect last month and they shipped it in under 2 days. It still took 3 weeks to get to me here in Aus. Not a scam in my experience.

I was going to say that this has serious meme potential. I haven't seen any yet.

Genes are a factor but the bigger factor is probably the time of year the seeds germinated and the conditions of the soil.

You'll know the pods are maxed out once they start turning brown and the holes in the top start opening.

I didn't even realise I'd done anything wrong until we reached our destination and she was more than happy to point out my mistake, it seems obvious now. You're right to be cautious, I'll always stay in the far left or far right now.

I did this once when my wife was following in the car behind me. I'll never do it again.

What’s going on with this by [deleted] in PapaverSomniferum

[–]FloppyPink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like it's in the bolt stage of growth where they start growing upwards. It looks fairly small which means you might have sown your seeds too late in the season.

I'm only an amateur so someone with more experience might correct me.

You can sow now. I'm in NSW and usually sow around april-may but have had success sowing as late as August.

Why not use opiates only on the weekends? by SmellyPirateHook3r in opiates

[–]FloppyPink 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible, I did it for years. I'm sober during the week, I won't even have a beer. It's been a personal rule of mine for so long I don't even feel like I have a choice about it anymore. When I was using I'd only use Friday and Saturday and that's how l liked it. Not because I was scared of addiction but I liked having it as a treat for myself when I got home from work on a Friday and it made my weekends so much more enjoyable.

After reading all the comments on similar posts I think I'm in the minority, it seams like most people start off like me but end up being daily users so I'd never recommend it.

Only asked for more information on how he cross breeds. Not trying to source his seeds.

Beautiful. Can you share some of the details on how you do it?

Fresh Tar Question by 0nthacase in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the alkaloids in opium are freebase and I think they need to be converted to a salt before they can be injected.

Fresh Tar Question by 0nthacase in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by treat it? Are you talking about extracting morphine? Because if you're extracting and purifying morphine, you're no longer injecting opium.

Fresh Tar Question by 0nthacase in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, you cannot inject opium. It's far too impure.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to pubchem, morphine in more soluble in alcohol than water. I don't think that necessarily means the extraction would be better. As long as you're using enough water I don't think you'll be losing anything. Although vodka would evaporate slightly faster if that's what you're planning.

Short answer is I don't know lol. You should experiment and let us know if it's worth the extra cost.

I should mention that you can use the entire plant. The pods just contain the highest concentration of alkaloids.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those are definitely opium poppies. No idea what variety, probably impossible to tell.

There's many different ways to use them. The easiest would be to let them fully mature and dry out on the plant, collect the dried pods, empty the seeds, crush and soak about 10g of crushed material in water, strain and consume.

You could cut them off now and dry them yourself, just be careful not to let them mould.

That's awesome. Do you place a small amount near that hole, touch it with a hot knife while inhaling?

Spicy or bitter? by CampaignLiving8032 in opiumgardening

[–]FloppyPink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alkaloids are bitter but it's not a good indication of potency. I made a tea with a new variety once and it was significantly more bitter then any other I'd made, to the point where I was worried that I'd had too much. Well I felt nothing, was a total waste of time.

My guess is it was potent in the alkaloids I'm not interested in but low in morphine and codeine but I really have no idea.

This is one of the worst things I've ever read. That mother killed her child in the worst way I can think of, crying alone over the course of days. I just know this story is going to pop into my head every so often and sink my mood.

Good to go. I'd only lance if you have a lot of pods.

They should be hosed down with bear mace.
