Title: Poppy seeds and drug tests.
Post by: Tank on May 05, 2023, 08:32:57 AM
Well you learn something new every day. I did not know that eating poppy seeds can lead to positive results from urine based drug test results.


Can eating poppy seeds affect drug test results? (https://ufhealth.org/news/2023/can-eating-poppy-seeds-affect-drug-test-results-addiction-and-pain-medicine-specialist)

Yep.

Poppies are, after all, the literal opium for the masses. :smilenod:

I remember some years ago, we were advised against eating poppy seeds for the duration of a somewhat-sensitive job, just in case there were tests. There were not, but still, apparently, you could test positive for quite some time after having that bagel.
