Actually, the Magic Bullet is like $55.00, so I think I'm going to try to go with this, if it has strong enough blades to work.

This got rave reviews, like all 5 stars, and someone said it can do ice so it should be able to work. It's also only $15.88.

:lol: that's to funny. Heck, and for a limited time only you can get 100 free giant poppy seeds! ;)

Okay well I FINALLY got the stems all processed (i just started working on it again like a half an hour ago) down into a course powder. Wow that was a ridiculous pain in the ass. Can you say 'poppy stem splinters'? lol So I was happy to be able to move on to the pods which I THOUGHT were going to be a lot easier but no SURPRISE! they are just as thick and tough as the dam stems, only they crack clean since they aren't as fibrous. Notice that I didn't use the word 'easily' in that statement.

Ok, well the little maracas have greyish-blue seeds inside...so I think that's a good sign.

Also, there's some sort of blackish goo on the inside of the pods, and some seeds have stick to it. Is this the actual opium from the live plant? I'll try to get some pics of it. There's a brown speckling all over the inside of the pods as well.

Anyway, back to the quest....

OK guys, need some advice quick here...should I just steep everything together, or should I keep the stems batch separate from the pods batch?

Are you just making goo? If so throw it all in the pot. Idk how potent stems alone would be if any at all so might aswell mix it all up unless you find out other wise.
Let me know :)

Thanks Worm, I know I can always count on you! haha

Good advice, that's pretty much what I was thinking. I was more worried about the stems cluttering things up and degrading the mix. I'll just throw it all together. Dude, this shit is no fun and games let me tell ya. Lots of work crunching them down into bitty pieces for the mini food process to barely be able to handle. Don't know how often I'll be doing this...

If you want to make it a little easier, you can always let's it stew for 10 minutes or so to soften it up then put it thru the blender, water and all, if its a small processor just strain it and blend the pods & stems up! Then add a little water to the mix, hit the button again for a quick pulse and pour it back into the pot. Add a little extra water if your worried about getting every little piece of the pods ;)

I'm just gonna steep it all and say fuck it. I don't have a blender, and the thought of doing like 4 batches like that is just whack. lol So I'm just giong to runt with what I got. We'll see what happens!

So. Rumor around the hobo campfire is that some of the soldierly types in far off lands ;-) are learning from some of the indigenous peoples use the poppy plant as such:

Cut the pod much like you would slice an orange, but maintain it as a sphere, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Bake it next to coals, on the engine deck of a bradley, in the oven on high, over sterno/ whateverthefuckuyoucan, for a while until they ooze.
Collect ooze, place in pipe, smoke, go bye-bye.....

or such is the rumor according to mythical resources conjured in a delirium....

Hahahaa! I like that.

So everything's steeping right now, had it at 165 for about the first hour, then dropped it down to about 150. Got 33 mins left right now. We'll see what happens here after I eat my pizza that should be here in about 10 mins! lol

Depending if you grind those bitches to a powder form or leave them pretty whole, you can let them steep for atleast a good hour. I would go closer to 2 if you have the time. Just remember not to let it boil.
