A few nights ago I took around 30mg of morphine orally. I have little to no tolerance. I felt little effects then fell asleep feeling fine. Then the next morning I woke feeling fine except for a slight headache. I got out of bed and went to use the bathroom and started feeling weak and naseaus like I was gonna puke. So I ran back into my room and I collapsed and busted my lip open on the wall. Its like I just fainted for a sec. I got up and got in bed and then slept until 530 pm. I woke up better just with a headache. Did I OD?? Or did I just over do it a little?

Yes, it could have been too much for you, but it also often causes a sort of "hangover" in people who don't have tolerance. All the effects you mentioned are pretty common side effects/after effects of opiates. Unless you have an extremely high sensitivity to morphine you were likely not in danger of a lethal overdose though (aside from any risk of hitting your head or something not directly caused by the drug). The lethal dosage in people with no/low tolerance is usually over 200mg, except for people who are mixing it with other drugs/alcohol, allergic or super-sensitive.
 
That's not an acute OD, cuz there wasn't morphine in your system causing you to do that, but I've heard of similar things happening to non-tolerant people after dosing morphine (and other opioids) like that, having bad effects the next day.
