Opium is derived from poppy seeds

Drink lots of water on the day of your test untill your urine runs clear this is called flushing it will remove traces of drugs in your system all except pot the reason i know this is because my brother use's drugs and is in jail and has random drug test i asked him how he gets away with it and this is what he told me........BTW you should give up whatever drugs you are on

There have been no reports of this product causing a false positive drug screen.\n\nDrug screening processes have grown more sophisticated. They don't test for remnants of chemical byproducts in the system anymore. They now test for traces of the drug itself. We get people in our police dept all the time who fail a drug test but say "I just took some Sudafed." The response is "Cool. We don't test for Sudafed. We test for methamphetamine. You failed."

Sometimes certain drugs can be found in common over-the-counter medications (thus the reason why they normally ask you if you have taken any medication before the give you a urine test). Also, it has been shown that certain foods you eat before taking various drug tests can cause a positive result for a drug. An experiment was done where a person eat a bagel with poppy seeds on it and then took a urine test. the person tested positive for opium! Go figure!!

They are not accurate.  On the television show Myth Busters, they did a segment on urinalysis.  Those guys were showing up as being positive for drugs after eating poppy seed cake.  The only reason people think they are accurate is because the companies that do them say they are accurate.

YES YES YES!\n\n\n\n to all these ignorants who want to talk out of theirasses, do your research, and actually try it if you want to know what you're talking about\n\n\nhttp://poppyseedtea.com/ this website was created by the parents of a teen who overdosed on Morphine and Codeine from Poppy Seed Tea. \n\nBE CAREFUL, the thing about poppy seed tea, is that sometimes it's a total failure and sometimes you're high as a kite! You see, poppy seeds really do come from the Papaver Somniferum (opium poppy) plant, and although they do not directly give the seeds their intoxicating alkaloids, alot of the time the resin seeps onto them and is the exact same as opium. Take a pound or more of poppy seeds, steep them in boiling water for about 30 minutes, and add lemon juice to aid in the removal process, then drain and drink the juice. Drink small amounts at a time or you may find yourself dead like the other guy. yes i've tried it, and yes it's exactly like opium (it is)

Urine drug testing is the most commonly used and most inexpensive from of drug testing. While most drugs will be washed out of your system after a few days, marijuana will test positive for several weeks after the last use. This is because THC is not water-soluble and will actually "stick" to the fatty tissues in your body.

Yes, most likely this drug will show up on an abused drug screening, particularly if it is taken daily.  However if you have a prescription for this medication and disclose this before the test a positive result will not be held against you.

because the drug opium is made from poppy seeds, hence poppy seeds contain a very little amount of opium that is not mind altering but is tracible in the bloodstream through a drug test.

Ok, you are wrong, weed has about 10 times the amount of carcinogens as tobacco.  The last time you smoked weed is almost irrelevant.  It's a matter of how much have you smoked in the psat month?  Canabanoids also can be stored in fat cells.  If you smoked a lot (say two bowls a day) every day until 3 days ago you will probably fail.  If you happened to exercise a lot the day of and before the test you will probably fail (if you used to smoke a lot.)  If you smoke two or three times a week you will be fine, but might show up as traces (not proof in a court or to a PO)  Also, the fact that 90% is your sisters will help you greatly even if you do smoke a lot you could still only show up as trace amounts.  If it comes back positive you won't get a retest, I'm sorry... if it comes back traces you MIGHT get a retest or they will just say good bye.

Any drug test detects THC, you need to have it out of your system entirely before testing.
95636
No way.  Even if some trace showed up, there are cut-off limits for a test to be considered a positive result.\n\nHair is another matter, but you didn't ask about that and no one does that unless they have a really good reason to.  The amount of THC in your system is negligible.  But if it will make you feel better, drink lots and lots of water and do a lot of exercise.

Medications & Substances Causing False Positives \n\n\nAccording to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.

Take it to the drug store pharmacy, the'll tell you. Otherwise, throw it away. If it's was found in your home, of course, check out your medicine cabinet... Dr Checko... (Nickname)

I use to work as a pharmaceutical analytical chemist, but not this type of drug screening work, but maybe I can give you some insight that could help you.\n\nFirst of all the drug vicoprofen has a greater abuse potential than propoxyphene so in terms of motive, if you have vicoprofen why mess with the other stuff?\n\nOne possibility is that you were given the wrong drug. Currently there is 1 one brand name drug (vicoprofen) and three generics that could have been substituted.\n\nhttp://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2006/020716s008lbl.pdf\n\nLook under therapeutic equivelants at the fda web site for a list of the other manufactures. (Hopefully no imported generic fakes.)\n\nSo, check this first.\n\nThere are questions to ask. When you took the test had you been taking the vicoprofen within the past day. If so, did the two drugs which are in it show up? If not that should indicate that something is wrong with their testing process.\n\nAnother thing is you need to find out what kind of test was run.\n\nThe cheapest type of test are chemical tests that involve color change or something like that. They are not specific, are are really only good to tell you that something might be there, not that something is absolutelty positively there.\n\nThe other types of tests involve chromatography, there are various types, thin layer, liquid, gas, ect. What chromatography does is separate substances of a mixture into their individual components. The cheapest, and  most prone to error way to use a chromatography test is just to see how long or how far a substance travels to tell you what it is. Minor changes in solvent can make things come out at the same time as a contolled substance.\n\nThat is why, it is federal law that government workers have to have beyound the chromatographic separation of the substances follow up with Mass spectra (which give the molecular weight of the substance) and IR specta, which gives the 'fingerprint' for the substance. \n\nWhen the drugs you take are ingested, the human body transforms them into other compounds. This is another reason why the tests given should follow up with the MS and IR tests.\n\nWhen I was living in Lafayette Indiana a few years ago a woman who took an Rx drug with hydrocodone in it (like vicoprofen has) had a false positive test for heroin due to the cheap chemical test the court used, and took her kids away. \n\nI read in a journal from a drug testing firm that ibuprofen came out at the same time as THC but the employer knew the character of the woman so challanged the company to investigate it. The company modified the procedure by adding an extra chromatographic separation, but they did not use IR or MS.\n\nTheir idea to avoid false positive was to make a chromatographic test process with a long, long list of drugs, controlled and not controlled to avoid false positives. But again, it ignore the metabolic breakdown products that people make when they process drugs in their system, which allows false positives as a real possibility from metabolites they probably could not even buy on the market to include in their testing procedures.\n\nI am no lawyer, but it seems from a legal standpoint, if companies who sell these services or subscribe to these services don't use the follow up MS and IR for proof, whereas for government employees (like police and firemen) get these protections, it is unequal protection under the law, sounds like a constitutional violation of rights but again I am no lawyer.\n\n\nIt could be just bad quality control, and you got your sample mixed in with somebody else, again did they find ibuprofen or hydrocodone? If not, something is screwed if you had it in your system.\n\nPS: look at the Fda website for a list of drugs with propoxyphene,under drugs@fda\n\nIf your employer would otherwise have to pay you unemployement benefits but is wesseling out of it because they fired you with this drug test, then should of course appeal to the unemployment office.

Only the marijuana plant contains the THC.  Some people extract the THC to put in brownies and stuff.   But there will be no way that the test will come out positive if he has been clean for.....depends on how long he's been using.  It takes 8 days per joint to clear any traces of THC from the urine.   If he smoked a lot, then it would probably take about 3 weeks to a month to clear.  The lab is pretty accurate, they can also detect if the person taking the pee test has diluted it in anyway.  So they're hardly faulty I'd say.  I'm very very sorry to break it to you.  1 year will go by before you know it.  It's not like he's been using heroine or crack, right?
