When I was reading up on em I think it said that after u have scored the outside and collected the opium latex or w/e it is u can cut the pods off and dry them out then crush em open to get the seeds out so u can use em for ur next grow, but when u use seeds from pods you scored it lowers the chance it will grow into a flower when u plant it. That was just from one source so I'd have to check around more before I was for sure on that one.

that is correct, but its a blessing...........less thinning. one pod can supply you with enough seed to plant the following year. and after you get the seeds, save the pods and straw for tea.

i have a 5' x 6' plot. i have about 30 poppies in there. papaver likes some breathing room. each plant have produce numerous pods, although smaller than main pod. we have one or two smoking sessions, and lots of tea.

the Hmong people mostly boil it down to a concentrate, in water. some tribes smoke it raw. it tastes like rubber, which it is.

some cook it with lime, and then skim the froth. that's a purer dope, and starting to slip down a slippery slope for an ex-junkie

dvs the latex is raw opium they boil it in water to refine it which i guess is to dull the harshness of the smoke?

"raw" opium has often been boiled, and limed. i get plenty wasted from my just-boiled dope. if i had an acre........i'd be in trouble. i'd turn it all into China white.............#4 as they call it. and shoot it up
