    lol well I never poppy seeds geeeesh you would have to eat the whole field and then sum and would only have a minute trace of opiutes in your system not even enough to register cocaine would come from cocao leaves so unless it was a cocao leaf bagel that you ate or snorted youd not have tested positive for that

    I'd say the test was screwed up. I've seen it in the military where the Captain of an Aircraft Carrier came back positive. It's best to read the requirements of the collectors in the FMCSR's to make sure they do what is required of them. Once the bottle is sealed and your initials and SSN are on the bottle the chances of a screw-up is minimal. The poppy seed myth will never work.

    thats total BS because poppy seeds can make you test positive for opiates, because poppy plants are what heroin and opiates are made out of! theres no way you tested positive for coke from eating poppy seeds

    Yah, I know. I once had a supervisor give me a whole full size poppy sead coffee cake. I can't remember what for. Maybe it was X-mas. Now that I think about it, maybe she was trying to get me fired.:biggrin_2555:

    or maybe he just ate the bagel 'cause he had the munchies--and then forgot why he had the munchies. Why do you think they call it dope?
