the tea is actually not bad, and a lot of the alkaloids remain in the flesh after you bleed them, you can just not do that and just dry them out and store them dry in a sealed container, that's how i'd do it if i was thinking prepper stash of medicine... pretty sure it lasts more than a few years too, and the plants are easy to grow

codeine is not the strongest part of the poppy milk (i think they are milkweed or related?) it's morphine, codeine is an element of the mix for sure, for industrial production it is the main source of codeine and morphine, there is also this stuff called "thebaine" which is slightly more of an anticholinergic, and contributes to the "visions" to some extent as well as increasing the cough suppressant effect (i think benadryl is a synthetic analog?)
