heres a good thread link also below for the rest of it:
Using dried poppy pod tea as a maintenance program
K, this is from SWIMs own experiences and his discovery of the perfect maintenance program. SWIM used this method because he was at a point where he was using about 40-80mgs of oxycodone IRs a day (intranasally) and wanted to get off daily use of synthetic opiates all together. Okay, so here's his story: (oh and any feedback is always welcome, let me know what you guys think.)
Since SWIMS addiction and tolerance level was pretty high at this time as most doctors would consider 40-80mgs a day a high intake, SWIM really wanted to find a cheaper alternative, get his tolerance level back down, and get to a point where instead of a daily habbit he just had opiates once or twice a week, and wanted to switch to natural opiates instead of synthetics.
SWIM had heard of all the other maintenance programs such as methadone programs and suboxone, and researched them well and at best found them to be extremely expensive and just another way for the government to rip people off.
So, SWIM thought to himself, why not dried pod tea? Easy enough. It's legal to buy as floral decorations and if he isn't selling them, then no one should care. Also they are very cheap where SWIM found them. So, he bought a bunch, removed the stems and seeds, ground them all into a fine powder and went to work.
Since SWIM had researched about this before and had tried it a few times, SWIM figured 10 gram doses were a good dose to start with.
So, first few weeks, SWIM would take 2 10 gram doses a day. One around lunchtime and the other in the evening, around 7 or 8 p.m. I should also mention SWIMs method of intake was to just mix the powder in water, stir and chug. Quick n easy. So this was done for about 4 weeks until this dose wouldn't produce much of a high anymore, but would keep withdrawals away for long periods of time (8+ hours).
At this point, doseage was adjusted DOWN to 3 5gram doses spread evenly through the day. This was done for another 4 weeks. After that 4 weeks, SWIM started noticing his desire to do this everyday dwindling. Some weeks SWIM would only take some maybe 3 or 4 times a week. Now my good old buddy SWIM ONLY takes a 5 gram dose every once in a while when he gets a craving, and rewards himself for doing good by taking a 10 gram dose on the weekends to relax, and his tolerance is WAY down now where 5 grams gives him a really good buzz that lasts for about 6 hours and the 10 gram dose gets him really high and lasts up to 8 hours!
I believe this carefully planned maintenance schedule worked eceptionally well for SWIM and can help others that want a maintenance program that's affordable, legal, and cheap. SWIM thinks this is a much superior way to maintain opiate addiction than methadone or suboxone programs
