Important question regarding drug testing

[Ignominy]

Is it true that eating poppyseeds will make you fail? I have a delicious poppyseed bagel that needs to be eaten.

All I know is that my freshman year roomate was banned from giving plasma (his beer money) after getting a false positive after eating some poppyseed-covered hot dog buns from a place downtown.

I know that the opiumpapaver is what they make opium from. It belongs to the poppy flower family.

They did this on mythbusters and they tested positive. It's also listed as being TRUE at Snopes.com.

I didn't read the specifics, but here's the article: http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp

Most drug tests should have a designated percentage level of acceptance to a controlled substance, so that things like your Bagel can be ruled out from someone main-lining every day.

Pot percentage levels are usually varied on tests to weed (excuse the pun) out the daily users vs. someone who may have been exposed or is a once a month user.

We have a drug policy at my work, but the marijuana levels are set solely upon daily users and not the once a week/month user. Percentages are the way they determine your usage.

We have to do spot checks due to the machinery being used. If they test positive, they have 1 month to clean-up and take it again, so it's fair...we don't instantly fire someone...we give you the chance to re-take the test and clean up.

Blame the inusrance companies. They give such a disount to us on our policies if we have the testing. If you do not do it, they make it so you can barely survive and afford the policy needed to stay in business.
