Resource Poppy Seed Tea for depression

Warning: This is dangerous. It can kill you. But apparently it can also help depression. Here are some links - I am going to make myself some asap:

It can last 24 hours. It's main drawback (other than risk of death) is that it doesn't taste good! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40122-019-0113-5

This article is very interesting - it suggests opiods are a good treatment for BPD. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/05/opinion/sunday/are-opioids-the-next-antidepressant.html

I've used both poppy seed tea and poppy pod tea. I can confirm that it works. However, just as with all other opioids it's easy to get addicted and, as you point out, it can be deadly. (This was actually my method of choice before.)

:) thank you. My only experience with opiods is Tramadol - doesn't work for me. And Ibuprofen/Coedine, which lifts my mood a little, I've only used it a few times. But it does help somewhat.

According to studies I've read, the trick is to use really small doses.
