Best opium poppy for home grow?

I used to be a daily poppy pod tea drinker for 3 years when they were cheap & abundant online. Worst withdrawals of any opioid I've ever been dependent on because it lasts forever, though the subjective high is not that euphoric compared to pills.

I've tried growing them numerous times & just don't have the knack for it whatsoever. Certain strains are said to have more morphine while others have more thebaine (the nasty stuff), so you'll want to avoid the latter. Purple Tazmanians are possibly the best strain in terms of morphine content (30% morphine-to-other-alkaloid ratio). Burma White, Afghani and Hens & Chicks are also popular for this purpose. If grown in the right conditions, all will produce opium.

Here's an interesting paper where some different strains in various countries were analyzed for morphine content.

Interestingly the Opium Lettuce plant has the same pain reducing and claming effects as opium and produces latex like opium but lacks the narcotic effect and the gastro intestinal issues that can arrise from opiates and raw opium.

Noice! I'm a kratom user now but will have to look into that as an alternative. I need all the options I can get. :-P

From what I've seen it's a pretty idiot proof plant, grows easily like any weed and is 100% legal to grow and harvest. I think it takes a while to grow but they sell the dried latex powder online. If you try it let me know how it is.

Lactusa verosa ( spelled wrong) a.k.a. opium lettuce.. it gives me restless legs if I take it at night.. it's mildly sedative.. doesn't do much for my pain but I suppose in a emergency situation when nothing is available it would be an option .. its not going to get you high so don't bother with it if that's the intent..

What is the ultimate goal of your poppy grow? Are you wanting just opium or are your intentions to extract the alkaloids for a more potent product?

Gotta strongly disagree with the guy who said it's not addicting. I was a heroin addict 20yrs ago & got clean but started playing around with kratom & poppies & 2-3wks of drinking poppy tea daily & the withdrawals were almost as bad as heroin...I ended up on the methadone clinic for a year & have been on subutex ever since...tho I think I'd like to switch back tbh cuz the subs are 20x more addicting than heroin (a detail Dr's forgot to mention) so I'd like to grow some so I can switch for a while to cut my tolerance on the subs way down so I can eventually taper off. I really just need to get to 8mg from 12-16mg so I can take the shot which once u get down to the 100mg shot u can let it run out without much withdrawl...but anyway, just wanted to point out that it is addicting for those who might believe otherwise, my life would have been very different if it wasnt.
