Yes, as can all opioids (or drugs in general). Biologicals are particularly challenging in this regard as potency can vary wildly. From what I've read, the people who use this regularly try to make very large batches to standardize and then titrate up slowly with every batch. It seems the son in that link was used to taking huge amount of washed seeds and then got an unwashed batch - so in a sad ironic way, the company's attempts to keep people from getting high led to his death.

Definitely risky, and not something I'd ever suggest for recreational purposes. Also important to know that many opiate tests look for non-intoxicating metabolites that are directly available in the poppy, so doctors may overestimate the amount of morphine the individual consumed: leading to overprescription in replacement therapies or overdose treatments, both of which can be dangerous.
