Be Careful with Poppy Seed Tea!

This was my first time trying poppy tea and from the reports I read 250 grams of seeds was a minor dose. It was not for me. I had read how the potency varied wildly from vendor to vendor and even batch to batch so I was trying to be careful, but I miscalculated the potency of these seeds, which were all natural Dutch unwashed poppy seeds.

I received a 1 lb. bag and ground up half in a mortar and pestle, I then added 500ml of water and 4 ounces of lemon juice, both at 170 degrees.

This mixture was put in a jar with a screw top lid and shaken for 15 minutes, till the water was the color of chocolate milk. Then I strained it through a pillowcase and I was left with 400ml of brown, bitter liquid. I then added 4 spoons of sugar to make it more palatable.

I figured 8 oz. of seeds was plus or minus 220-250 grams so from what I had read I should be safe to drink the whole mixture, but I remembered the wildly varying potency and decided to be safer and start with 100ml of the 400ml.

T+ 0:30h  Not really feeling anything yet and wondering if I was wasting time with such a small dose. 
T+ 1:00h  Still not feeling anything so I decide to drink another 100ml. 
T+ 2:00h  Maybe feeling a tiny bit but could be just a placebo effect. 
T+ 3:00h Definitely feeling something now but still very manageable. 
T+ 4:00h  Feeling dizzy and sick and wondering if I should give myself the "Narcan" I have set  aside but I am getting ready to go to sleep and getting a good night's sleep is mostly why I am taking this stuff so I pass on the "Narcan". 
T+ 6:00h  Too dizzy to sleep and too sleepy to realize I should take that "Narcan" 
T+ 9:00h  Tossing and turning, dizzy and nauseous wondering when this will end.  
T+ 10:00h  Giving up on trying to sleep I get up and try to drink some water but puke it back out as fast as it goes in. I really feel horrible and wonder if I should maybe go to the hospital or take that "Narcan", but I wait it out. 
T+ 12:00h  I am finally able to sip on some water and keep it down but still feel super spent.  
T+ 14:00  I am starting to feel better and my stomach has finally settled down.

All in all, I regret not taking the "Narcan" and I will be much more careful with this Poppy Tea from now on. In retrospect this dose of tea felt equal to several oxycontin and was way more than I expected from this amount of tea.
