Opioids Can I make effective poppy tea out of plants/pods that aren't ready for harvest?

Well that says it.

I have some papaver somniferum plants in my garden, quite a few actually. I'm very experienced with poppy pod tea, but these poppies aren't fully ready yet. They're quite grown already but aren't actually pods yet, just leaves, stems & flowers with some tiny poppies which arent even developed yet; like this>

With a significant amount of these will i be able to make decent effective tea?

I know I should wait until they are full pods, crown pointing up, for them to be at their full potential but I have many & wouldnt mind using some to make tea if it would be at all worth it.

Many thanks.

Well I made some & it seems to have had a histamine reaction; my cheecks are flushed. I'm not high. Not yet anyway.

The answer is probably not, green poppy plants are generally conisdered to be too nasty to consume.

Not worth it to waste 'em. Morphine production gets underway in full gear once the pod capsule matures a bit more.
