Poppy Seed Tea? Need relief.?

So, is this still an easy thing to make? I have severe chronic back pain that radiates down my butt through my legs into my knees from an injury 10 years ago. The last doctor I went to said I have degenerative disc disease.. X-rays looked normal. I think he thought I was lying. I was sent home with a script of Mobic. I've been prescribed mobic, naproxen, and cyclobenzaprine. None help my back.. The cyclobenzaprine helped my bad neck and shoulder pain overnight, though, but quit working after a few weeks.

Anyways, my point is that with me being 26, I do not get treated right by ANY doctor. I need relief. This is ruining my life. I've decided to try this poppy tea, and if it works, take things into my own hands and medicate myself so I can take my life back. It's very depressing.

Do I need seeds or pods? Is there any stores I can go to and buy them? What are the best online stores, if not?

    seeds have to be unwashed, so it's a crapshoot. some are, some aren't. plus you need a lot and it's dangerous 'cause you never know how much opium they still have on them and could OD. pods are far superior but illegal and expensive (though they're widely sold as craft supplies).

    have you tried kratom? It's about as strong as hydrocodone and lasts longer. very effective for pain. i included a link to a review site that talks about it.

    Use the seeds but be very very careful the amount of the active ingredient in the seeds varies greatly if you really want to self medicate I highly suggest using marijuana it is much safer and for seed recipes go to erowid .com be careful good luck feel better
