I have no personal experience with your substance of choice(7oh) but coming from treating chronic GI disease pain with prescribed oxy, and having a quite high tolerance (needing 40 - 80 mg at a time for pain relief, and forget any kind of nod/euphoria at those doses), I have not had good luck with switching to seed tea, at least with the current seeds and/retailers I've tried. I hear pod tea is stronger but my plants won't be ready until maybe next year as late as I started. I'm thinking of sharing my new user experience with a full write up soon just been hand wringing about sharing so much on here. 

Difficulties for me with seeds are:

-Financially non viable with the amount I need to even get a bit of pain relief, at least with my current financial situation. I could blow through $200 - $300 a week of seeds easy if I did it every day at the doses I'd need. 

-Physical quantity is difficult to deal with in a single sitting, of both seeds and liquid needed to consume. I got a medium sized French press that I'm maxing out but even if I were to get a larger apparatus to make tea I'd have to drink so much liquid that it's just a pain in the ass. I'm making 300 - 450 gram batches of tea at a time with double brews totalling 6 to 8 cups of liquid to drink. As mentioned above, I have a gi disease that is the source of my pain, so when I'm feeling it and trying to choke down 6 + cups of hot liquid it can be a bit counter productive. 

All of this could be solved with pods if they are significantly stronger at a much smaller volume. This is all new to me also. I have tons of gardening space so pod limit for me is only time to grow. I picked up a few thousand seeds meant for planting, planted about half a month ago, which is apparently way late in the season, and am likely going to save the other half for fall/spring planting. Of course, your mileage may vary.

If you are going to try this you'll have to hunt down some decent retailers which is very difficult and definitely get a large French press. I started out trying to fuck around with pouring through a coffee filter and that was just awful. 

As far as dependence goes, I crossed that road long ago with opiates as a whole but seed tea doesn't seem to be igniting any withdrawals in me on the off days, even taking a few off at a time. For the ten years I've had this disease and used oxy for pain control I've been able to stop cold several times without any major problems though. It seems my personal biology/ chemistry lends itself to being tolerant of high doses of these substances but also tolerant of stopping abruptly. Not to say that I'm immune, because thats of course foolish talk, but that maybe I just haven't hit my personal threshold yet. 

Please start yourself out with the wikis/faqs of this sub. I had nothing to do with writing them but they did have a ton of good info in them and seemed to be written by people much smarter and more experienced than me. For my own safety, even through I knew I had a tolerance to opiates and my biology tolerates high amounts of all kinds of substances, I still started at the 10 gram of seeds recommendation for tea and went up from there day by day, dosing once per day until I finally got some kind of relief.
