An idea for anyone looking for a few extra dollars:
1)Go to the local weekend market and purchase ten kilo's of poppy seeds. twenty to fifty bucks. And either cheap lemons or citric acid.
2) Extract the alkaloids left over from the harvesting using luke warm water and mild acid. search http://usestealth.com/ for recipe
3) allow water to evaporate using minimal heat.
4) sell dried opiate alkaloids on silk road for profit$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Unwashed seeds purchased from poppy fields, eg. Tasmania, will yeild 50% more.
Peace out all -Anton

The seeds have a stupidly low amount of alkaloids, but, yeah, I guess that would work. Is it normal for people to go out and buy 10kg of poppy seeds where you live? How strange. The pods have a much higher alkaloid content and are commercially available. Or you can grow your own very easily. Opium is an easy drug to manufacture in general. I've heard some herb/smoke shops sell poppy leaves and the like, although I am completely certain that is illegal, so good luck there.

I want opium for novelty, though. If I was just interested in the alkaloids, I could purchase them elsewhere.

I did that in my more desperate days, and would put it in with some shisha and smoke it in my hookah. Mild, short-lasting high, awful flavor, even when combined with the delicious shisha. Wouldn't touch that shit now...

seeds themselves contain no active alkaloids, but sometime contain leftover residue from the separation process, though they are often washed free of that residue. iv'e never acheived any worthwhle effect from poppies seeds alone, in even in very large amounts. best is to try and extract from ground poppies, making 'putty' is the simplest extract. i gotta bunch of old posts on poppies.org under various names for extracting pure morph or, even simpler, an overall isolation of p. somniferum's natural alkaloids.

Actually the strains that are grown in Tassie have been bred to give an extremely high alkaloid content throughout the whole pod including the seeds. They actually harvest the whole thing as they have managed to increase the yield to such an extent. It is pretty much the capital of the world for legal morphine and thebaine these days. You just gotta know how to do an extraction for the available morphine content without getting too much thebaine which is what they are bred for as well. I have the info somewhere pertaining to which wash you do for morphine versus the one you do for thebaine. But then again if you are a half decent chemist you could always have a crack at making Oxycodone from the thebaine...

I while ago I have read article with strain called Saphir. Has around 17% morphine content and around 3% rest of alkaloids (codeine, thebaine). One pod could produce 250mg of opium (when normal is around 70mg)
Thebaine is very low amounts in poppy (around 1% if I remember correctly).
Nowdays its usual and cheap to convert morphine to codeine and thebaine.
Main alkaloid is morphine.
When you buy seeds from local store, those strains are variaty grown for seed/oil production and have very low alkaloid content, around 3% when usual is 7%-10% of morphine.

Turns out the tassie strains of poppy have a higher level of thebaine than normal.
Take a look at this page, it has all of the info on the industry down there with info on poppy straw alkaloid levels (seeds and pods should be higher)

Raff32 big thanks :)
I like to read such stuff. I hear that tassie are now leading alkaloid producer and they invested many years and assets to cultivate most potent poppy strain. Think that they extract alkaloids from poppy straw and separation is done later.
-
Yeah its pretty amazing considering how innefficient their extraction methods are (for getting the highest yields rather than for ease). I dont know how things are there these days but I know that it used to be common for locals to get access to the fields pretty easily and grab a stash of poppies. There are also tales of native animals taking a liking to eating them as well (lucky fuckers...) Seems as though thebaine is the desired alkaloid these days thanks to the burgeoning Oxy trade.
