"Dear Cecil:
Can eating foods with poppy seeds (i.e., bagels, muffins, etc.) really cause someone to fail a routine corporate drug test? I've heard the answer is yes, but I am a skeptic. Aren't drug tests specialized? Are they really testing for *****, which I understand to be the only drug made from the poppy? And even if the test did search for *****, wouldn't the number of poppy seeds needed to make even a minute amount of ***** be far greater than that in the foods we eat poppy seeds in? Help! --Peter Schilling, Minneapolis
Dear Peter:
Let's not beat around the bush. The answer to your question is yes--eating a couple of poppy seed rolls, bagels, etc., can cause you to fail a routine drug test."
Don't eat Bagels and drive... you might get tested Will... and we love j00, heart
