Poppy seed tea contains varying concentrations of various opiate alkaloids including [[codeine]], [[morphine]], and [[thebaine]]. Because lethal overdose is entirely possible if tolerance is low and too many opiate alkaloids are consumed (especially morphine), it is important to work out a suitable dosage. Reports on Erowid[1] suggest an average dose to be 2-4 large pods, so in my example 10 pods weighed 44g, meaning that ~3 pods is around 15g of powder.

The risk of a lethal overdose increases when mixing [[depressant]] drugs such as [[benzodiazepines]] as this may cause [[respiratory depression]].
