Want this question answered?
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
It could definetily show up as opiates, Many years ago the poppy seeds used for eating had a substanial amount of morphine, today they are very low count and are checked,maybe you wouldnt have a problem with it. Poppy seeds come from the same plant that is used to make opiates, such as morphine and heroine. Eating a poppy seed muffin, within 48 hours of a drug test, can cause you to test positive for opiates. It is reported that most drug testing agencies will not admit that their tests will result in false positives due to poppy seeds. However, the television show Myth Busters tested this myth and found it to be true.
No. The extremely small amount of opiates that can be obtained from poppy seeds is not likely to register on a drug screening. It is certainly possible for it to be detected, but the level is so low that it is known to be from such ingestion and not the actual use of opiate drugs.</
Yes if you eat enough. X No, a Big Mac will not cause you to fail a drug test because the seeds on it are Sesame seeds. Poppy seeds definitely will show up on a drug test after eating a moderate amount, 2-3 poppy seed bagels should do it - it'll show up as an opiate, or morphine derivation.
Nothing, it is poppy seeds that would show up.
Poppy seeds can cause a false positive on a drug test, however it would have to be a lot of them.
I ate a poppy seed muffin and then got called in to work for a random drug test. I told the nurse I ate a poppy seed muffin, she said I would have to eat cup of poppy seeds. So basically the answer is no.
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.
Worse. It doesn't show up for marijuana, but it does show up for heroin. So if you eat a poppy seed muffin you will now test positive for heroin for a little while. (This is no joke it has been tested and proven)
No, that is an urban myth. For it to even register on the test you would have to eat over 1,000 sesame seed bagels in a short period of time. The Myth you might be hearing is actually that if you eat poppy seed, you will fail a drug test. But like I said, it is a myth. It didn't used to be a myth, but it is now. The people who are giving you the test have the ability to know if it is poppy seed or not.
If this is a real question the answer is simple. Sesame seeds are not poppy seeds. So, although sesame seeds are high in protein, they are totally drug free. Now poppy seeds, on the other hand, have very low amounts of opium in them. An experiment was performed on the television show "Myth Busters", and the outcome was that an average weight male tested positive on a drug test after consuming (eating) two and a half poppy seed bagels. The approximates of all of the variables (amount, quality, and, potency of the poppy seeds, the weight, biology, and habits of the man, or time tables of consumption to the test) are unknown to me, but may possibly be available.
nothing its a drug in pakastan
