What can cause a false positive test for meth?
i have herd that eating poppy seeds that are found in pastry cakes can cause a false positive test for meth. poppy seeds cause a positive for marijuana - not meth. Actually you are both very wrong.

How much Heroin does it take to show up in a UDT?
Basically if there is any heroin in your system it will show up on a UDT. The test is so sensitive that eating foods containing poppy seeds can cause a false positive. This is because the UDT isn't measuring the levels of heroin in your body, but the levels of a heroin metabolite. This metabolite is also a byproduct of poppy seed digestion, hence the false positive.

What can cause a morphine false positive?
Codeine will cause a false Positive Morphine. Morphine is what would deem a person to be using Heroin. After-all heroin is (Acetyl-Morphine) Which is household Vinegar and Morphine. Its done through a process called Acetylization during the conversion of Opium to Heroin. Another way to show up Positive for Morphine is from Poppy Seeds. The federal cutoff for Morphine Positive is 1500 (The Military Serves Poppy Seeds in meals) For a state or local entity it may be 200,500 or 800. This is why its NOT a good idea to eat ANYTHING with Poppy seeds near test time. *If you do show Pos+ then make sure you have EXCEEDED or Met their cut off or its deemed a FALSE POSITIVE. Same goes for any tester who never received or requested your Morphine Level. IS A FALSE POSITIVE! :-) SO anyone who tells you that Poppy seeds do NOT mess up your urine is full of $h1t. Poppy seeds are from the SAME plant/flower that is used to make Heroin. The Other version aka California Poppy produces NO SEEDS and is non-narcotic. I hope i helped you finally understand.

Can caraway seeds cause you to fail a drug test?
No. That was poppy seeds, and the current "cutoff" for opium--the amount of opium metabolite you need in your system to trigger a drug test--is high enough that poppy seeds, so long as you're not eating them by the spoonful, won't trigger a positive test. Caraway seeds are fine, though.

NO, it cannot. THC comes from the cannabis plant not any opiate plant, ie poppy seeds. You would test positive for opiates after ingesting poppy seeds, not THC.

Can eating poppy seeds really make you test positive for opiates?
YES! I am an RN on a jobsite where we do frequent drug tests on the employees. When a coworker and I had some downtime we had this discussion. I had eaten ONE Landshire Roast Beef and Cheese sandwich with poppy seeds on the bun for lunch. I went ahead and did the urine drug screen on myself approximately 2 hours after eating the sandwich and the result was POSITIVE for opiates!!!My coworker verified the result. It was negative prior to eating the sandwich. This was a pretty standard instant drug test so the answer is a big YES! My coworker and I also watched the episode of Mythbusters on Youtube that questioned this same thing and the guys were both negative for opiates prior to eating the poppy seed cake/ bagels and were both positive for opiates approximately 18 hours after eating the poppy seeds
