Heroin Detox Now

Question by kRISTIN: My drug test was positive from eating poppy seeds and court will not believe me. Needing help, please!!!?
I was required by court to take a drug test and I tested positive for opiates without using any drugs. I need to prove that I do not use drugs, but the test revealed otherwise. My psyciatrist asked if I had eaten anything with poppy seeds in it, and I had just that morning of the drug test ( I had an everything bagel and a poppy seed bagel). I tried to tell the court what I thought had happened, and they told me that I was a liar and in denial about my addiction to drugs. My name has been tarnished, I am now being treated as a low-life and I need a way to prove to them that I am being honest. It feels horrible to be in this position. They did tell me that if I could find a research paper from an actual doctor finding my poppy seed “story” to be true, then they would take it i

Can Eating Poppy Seeds Mark You as a Drug Addict?
Innocent People May Test Positive
Can your breakfast bagel falsely mark you as a drug abuser? It may if it is coated with poppy seeds.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who work in a job that requires drug testing before or during employment, it pays to be aware that the familiar little black poppy seeds on baked goods are from the same plant used for opium production.

Papaver somniferum is the botanical name of the opium poppy. In the drug trade, a latex type fluid taken from the unripe seedheads is processed into opium and heroin. Since ancient times, people used this as a painkiller and sedative. The poppy stems or “straw” also produce alkaloids that yield drugs. Morphine and codeine are two of the alkaloids derived from poppies. They are used extensively in modern medicine.

The ripe poppy seeds don’t contain narcotics. Along with seeds of Papaver paeoniflorum they are used every day on bagels, breads, muffins and many other common baked goods. Eating them won’t get you high, but they do contain the same detectable chemicals. A false positive can occur with urine testing as long as 48 hours after eating poppy seed baked goods.

According to a U.S. Department of Justice Fact Sheet, most drugs can be detected in urine samples anywhere from two days to two weeks after ingestion, and opiates generally show for about two days. The amount ingested, individual metabolism and fluid intake influence the time period.

It isn’t necessary to eat a huge amount of poppy seed bakery products to have a positive drug test. The website poppies.org reported that during a test, a volunteer who ate one poppy seed bagel showed a level of 250 ng/ml in a urine sample three hours after eating. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines are 300 ng/ml for opiates, so this would be just under the positive level.

The experiment was conducted because a person who tested positive claimed to have eaten 2 poppy seed bagels for breakfast, and had results consistent with this level, 500 ng/ml. About three teaspoons of poppy seeds would produce positive levels of 1200 ng/ml.

Sorry, unless you can get a doctor to give you some kind of approval for this theory.. I don’t buy it, you’d need alot more than one bagels worth seeds to test positive.. good luck.
