My brother-in-law used to work for a U.S. company where the employees were periodically tested for drugs. He had to refrain from eating anything with poppyseeds for a week or so before the test because it might make him test positive for opiates…even though eating the amount of poppyseeds found in food will not get you high.

I knew South Korea’s had some draconian drug laws, but this takes the cake.

Yea, there’s poppy seeds among some other things because of the natural chemistry of the foods 😅😅
