One can think also to use directly the seeds, instead of the juice of the plant.

Seed pods

The dried seed pods can be cooked in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. 

The fresh seedpods can also be placed in a sealable jar. Fill the jar with fresh seed pods and give rum over the seed pods until it covers all of them. Keep the sealed jar in a warm place for 6 months. Then press the remaining liquid out of the seed pods and throw them away. One shooter of this liquor can create opiumlike effects.

DOSAGE

Opium Poppy [Papaver somniferum]

Generally, the seed pods and the opium are used for consumption. The seed pods are often prepared as tea, while the opium can be smoked or swallowed.

Opium can contain 2-25% morphine, but usually, it contains approximately 10%. So 100 mg of opium contain about 10 mg morphine. A good starting dosage is 30 mg of morhpine.

Seed pods are also very different in their content, but normally, 2-5 per each person is enough.
