==Warning==

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.

One batch of seeds may have significantly different concentrations than another. 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.

It is also important to note that some people's metabolism allows for more codeine to be converted to morphine, therefore it is recommended to start with a low dosage with work your way upwards as it is not know how your body will react.

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