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