Can you give liquid morphine sublingual in a pic line?

No. For one reason, you cannot go sublingually through a PICC line, as a PICC line would not be inserted sublingually. The most glaring issue however, is that oral morphine (which I think you are suggesting) can only be given orally. A PICC line is an intravenous route, and would therefore not be appropriate.
