statistically no, but its possible to get a random group of poppyseeds that are extra potent. its why for example, South Korea bans it (as they dont even want the chance for them to get collected)
The poppy seeds don’t contain the opiate, the surrounding latex contains it (visual: pomegranate seeds, and the inedible flesh you free it from).
Some of that opiate might get on the seeds, but its mixed into such quantities with other poppy seeds that the potency level is diluted to virtually nothing.
People die almost every year overdosing on tea made from poppy seeds.
The potency of the seeds vary so much that you can buy two jars and drinking a tea made from one will give you a decent buzz and the other will kill you if you drink half.
If an animal were to eat a seed pod, it could definitely die.
It doesn’t really need to be processed much. Heated plant parts for tea and the sap is ready to smoke after drying. Both of these processes do count as processing but I would not say it counts as "process[ing] the shit out of it. "
You don’t need to purify to drink it just extract it. It’s hard to smoke enough opium to OD (which I guess counts as concentration through evaporation but isn’t purified to seperate alkoloids) to death without other drugs but it is pretty easy to over do it with just tea. Like a previous poster said tea extractions will have wildly varying potencies so they can kill even those with tolerance.
Poppies kill things?
Heroin, opium and morphine are derived from poppies. Too much of any narcotic and you die
Yeah but we need to process the shit out of it. Is anything really going to die from eating some raw poppy seeds?

So how do we do poppy seed bagels?

And yet, can still fuck the unlucky in a drug test.
Wow. I guess I need to eat more bagels
Well, we are pretty big for insects

To overdose to death on it you need to also purify and concentrate it. Animals aren’t even heating and smoking it.

You can do an extraction on poppy seeds, but the bulbs leak a tarlike substance when cut that is already plenty concentrated
Onion and leek too btw.
