# Begin drinking your grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice inhibits the enzymes, blocking them from converting the opiates. This means that more codeine is converted into morphine.

# Begin drinking your grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice inhibits the enzymes, blocking them from converting the opiates in the body. This means that more codeine is converted into morphine.

# Pour your intended dosage of generic poppy seeds into an empty medium or large pot.

# Boil water in a kettle or a separate pot. Once boiled, pour the water into the pot over the poppy seeds.

# Steep and occasionally stir the pot for 15 minutes. You will ~~not~~ have to stir for ~~very long~~ because the desired opiate alkaloids are contained in the outer coating of the seeds.

# Add approximately half a teaspoon of citric acid into the mixture. You may alternatively use several tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar.

# Steep and occasionally stir the pot for 10+ minutes. You will only have to stir for 10 to 15 minutes because the desired opiate alkaloids are contained in the outer coating of the seeds.

Then let the seeds soak for 15 to 20 minutes, and strain them out. I should end up with roughly 500 ml (or two cups) of brownish liquid. If I use hot or boiling water, the seeds all swell up and absorb a lot of the water and I have to do a second extraction to get a good dose out of a pound of seeds. Also, the hot water extracts oils from the seeds so, instead of a clear brown liquid, I have to drink a cloudy, oily, yellowish emulsion that tastes like ass and totally coats my mouth so I'm still tasting it an hour later. The clear tea from cold water tastes pretty bitter, but it's not nearly as disgusting as using hot water. If I chill the tea in the fridge before drinking it, the flavour is easy to ignore.
