Laboratories utilize conservative cutoff levels when conducting drug tests. Under normal circumstances, a person would not consume enough marijuana from secondhand smoke or eat enough poppy seeds to to reach these cutoff levels to trigger a positive drug test.

It depends on the poppy seeds. Evidently some poppy seeds are more potent than others, and eating just one or two rolls containing potent poppy seeds may result in a positive opiate test. But other rolls containing less potent poppy seeds may have no effect on a drug test. New confirmation procedures are being discussed that will be able to discern between drugs such as heroin and poppy seeds, therefore eliminating the possibility that poppy seeds could cause a positive test.

Perhaps the most common excuse subjects give to explain their positive marijuana test might be, "I was around some people who were smoking pot." Research has shown, however, that casual exposure to marijuana smoke will not produce a positive test. A person really has to work at being exposed to "passive" smoke to create a positive test.

Poppy seeds will cause a true positive test for opiates, more specifically, morphine. However this is somewhat dependent on the cutoff that is used (see next question for more info).The explanation is easy. Where do poppies come from? They come from poppy seeds. Since poppies contain morphine then poppy seeds should also contain morphine--They do!! and it doesn't take much to make a test positive. For further information, please contact our MRO.

Secondhand smoke is a combination of a smoker’s exhaled smoke and the smoke from a burning cigarette. It contains more than 4,000 substances, including 200 known poisons and 43 cancer-causing substances and kills an estimated 62,000 nonsmokers each year in the United States.

The most common excuse for a positive marijuana test is, "I was around some people who were smoking pot." Research has shownthat casual exposure to marijuana smoke will not produce a positive test. A person really has to work at being exposed to "passive" smoke to create a positive test. Very close confinement, without ventilation, with several smokers, for a period of over an hour, may result in a low, but measurable amount of marijuana in urine and blood.

It is not! Urine concentrations of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level of the test, or a positive result, is possible only through use / inhalation. However, second hand smoke will be in the system, but not at the concentrations that would indicate drug abuse. No - the results are not affected by these substances. Urine drug tests are substance and derivative metabolite specific.

Absolutely Not! Urine concentrations of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level of the test, or a positive result, is not possible by exposure to second hand smoke. No. Our tests are drug and drug metabolite specific.These commonly taken substances are chemically and structurally different after being metabolized by the body from the drugs being tested for and therefore, under most circumstances, not interfere with or compromise test results.

Yes. Some substance that are banned are also derived from plants and are therefore consider natural.

Please obtain all the original documents and information regarding drug testing and read them thoroughly.

one time there were concerns that ibuprofen may, in some cases, cause a "false positive" test result for marijuana. The issue of cross-reactivity between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and marijuana is generally resolved in the scientific community. Marijuana metabolites are stored in the body's fat cells. "Chronic" users may test positive for several weeks after stopping use of marijuana. "Casual" users may test positive for one to three days from the day of last use.

Cigarette smoke in the pregnant woman cuts the flow of oxygen to her unborn baby. This can be very dangerous, even life threatening to the fetus. Infants who are born to mothers who smoke are more likely to be born premature, which is the leading cause of infant death. Infants that are around secondhand smoke are at risk of dying of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Evidence that you have been exposed to secondhand smoke can be found in your lungs (increased levels of carbon monoxide), blood and urine (in cotinine, a byproduct of nicotine). Your local health department or primary care physician likely can test you for elevated levels of these substances.
