While I'd prefer not to see any discussion about availability, for what it's worth I think it's extremely unlikely that you'd find decent seeds in standard <snip> these days.
That said, there are a couple important things to know about this stuff.
Firstly, there is no way to accurately gauge the strength of the tea. One packet could be stronger than 10 packets together. It's important to take this into consideration, particularly now that most seeds are thoroughly washed leading many to try large amounts (1kg+, usually without much effect). On the extremely rare chance that a packet was unwashed, you could find yourself in big trouble if you had used many packets. To be on the safe side, never start with more than 200g. If that doesn't work, then it's unlikely any further amounts will do much.
The second important point to consider is that morphine is highly addictive. If you did manage to find unwashed seeds, you'd also have a cheap readily available supply of morphine. Under such circumstances, it could be quite easy for anyone to become dependent on the stuff. It's best to set strict limits on personal use (say, once a month) to avoid running into any trouble.
The last point to consider is the law. Some have mentioned growing poppies from the seeds, which some claim to work relatively well if a huge amount of seeds are used (only a tiny percent will not be infertile). Unfortunately, it's also very illegal. The laws vary from state to state, but it's safe to say that if any police found poppies that were lanced (i.e. cut on the pods to release the opium) then there's no doubt you'd be sent to jail for it. Even if they weren't lanced, you'd likely still face a very harsh punishment.
For the tea itself, being caught with it may also result in some harsh punishment. It's hard to say for sure what would happen, since I haven't heard of any cases where this has been charged on. However, hypothetically a number of things could happen. You could be charged with possession of opium, and maybe manufacture too for the crude extraction.
Many people would recommend a codeine CWE over trying poppy seeds. I agree with this too, since codeine doesn't pose the risks regarding to dosage. It's also far more reliable.
