Is it true? And if so: why? I ate a few bagels, and set out to flunk an opioid test.
👇👇👇 SOURCES and REFERENCES 👇👇👇
Drug tests don’t just work as a buzzkill, they can keep doctors and patients honest regarding some of the more dangerous drugs known to man. The problem is, poppy seeds can throw a giant wrench in that circle of trust! Poppy seeds come from the papaver somniferum flower native to Turkey, and even though they don’t contain opium, consuming the seeds has historically caused the tests to register opiate use!
In this video, I explore how these tests work, what they look for, and how something as simple as a bottle of seeds available at any grocery store, can cause a false positive for painkillers, heroin, morphine, and other drugs.

Poppy seed, tiny dried seed of the opium poppy, used as food, food flavouring, and the source of poppy-seed oil. Poppy seeds have no narcotic properties, because the fluid contained in the bud that becomes opium is present only before the seeds are fully formed. The plant, Papaver somniferum, is an herbaceous annual native to Greece and the Orient. Poppy seed is an ancient spice; the seed capsules have been found in Switzerland in the remains of prehistoric lake dwellings.

It’s possible that even just one bagel or muffin highly loaded with poppy seeds can lead to a positive urine drug test.

Did you know that morphine, codeine, and heroin are produced from the seeds of certain kinds of poppy flowers? Morphine and codeine are often used as medications for treating pain, and all three-known as opiates-can be abused

I'm taking January off, chasing the dragon.
Drug testing is so dumb. You're only gonna nab the people who didn't figure out a way around it. How about just look for the guy who can't do his job? (The answer is because it's just always been done, there's a budget for it and you have to use your budget or it goes away next year, and most bosses in my experience have very little clue what's actually going on or who's doing what.. because they have their own work to take care of nevermind trying to babysit a bunch of adults)
Well drug users are usually a lot less reliable than others. Also they have more highs and lows.
Or you just take drugs and same results
wait why dont you just do drugs ez dub
when i was in rehab (after inpatient treatment, coming in for outpatient), a group of girls who stayed at a halfway house together had poppy seed buns for dinner together and all failed their drug test the next day, but were cleared because it was proven to be from the buns.
My guy is doing his homework for the wrong kind of test!
Testing positive in hospital when in for labor and delivery happened with me, as well, but luckily they didn't try to take away my child. That would have been horrific
Codeine was spelt incorrectly
Try makowiec before testing🎯
are poppy seeds drugs?
I heard it was white poppies only, not red ones
Little did we know Trace was actually high during the video
Anyone else remember Trace from DNews? Those were the days.
how to fail a drug test? simple. Take drugs
For the drug tests in the Austrian Army they actually told us that they would do blood tests (or at least sent the urin sample to a lab) for the positive Opiod tests, because that way they can figure out how high the dose of residual opiods actually was.
I can fail a drug test
Just take drugs lmao
K
As a Polish person, this scares me. We really like our poppy seeds, and I am personally addicted to baked goods with them.
You should see a doctor if your urine is blue
This is interesting! A few years ago I suffered from depression and I was drinking too many energy drinks. In order to get help I had to do a drug test and I tested positive for 3 different drugs (at this point I had been clean for about 9 years). I got tested a week later and it was all negative. I’ll definitely show my parents this video since they still doubt I was telling the whole truth!
how to fail a drug test. take drugs
how to fail a drug test on purpose drugs
2:22 unlabelled graph axes.. you know it's getting scientific edit: well to be fair one of them is labelled, so only half the points off
This isn't Tom Scott in the video btw. It never was.
kind of awkward to be watching this video in the big bad Lansing lmao
1:11 shows Papaver Rhoeas, full of nopium.
Finally I can hide my crippling heroin and opioid addiction
3:16 what? You’re not supposed to toast fresh bagels? Who came up with this rule and where do I find them? 😂
if you're going for the wr just take drugs
How high are you? 6"1
Never seen someone so happy for getting positive in a drug test
Who is weed going to hurt? Why don't we ban cigarettes and alcohol?
Just take some drugs
Instagramming my food for legal reasons
I was wondering where trace went after i never saw him on seeker. So i looked for him and now i found him.
That door opening at 00:23 near enough gave me a heart attack. Headphones will be the death of me
The whole notion of drug testing people for regular job interviewing is so invasive and wrong. I'm sure if you drug test powerful political or corporate leaders, you'll find it. Enforcing arbitrary rules against people is a foundation for biased treatment. Now, if it's a very crucial safety job, like a pilot, or surgeon, for examples, I could see the value.
Maybe we should stop drug testing people. Only hurts working class people.
very useful video
Aight thanks for the tip [eats poppy bagels after using opiates]
So kids. Today Im gonna show you how to fail a drug test. Step One: Inject yourself with massive amounts of Heroin
anyone else forget this was a Tom Scott video half way through?
If you're trying that hard to fail a drug test, you're better off just doing drugs.
me playing the vid backwards
me being like, copy this down and reverse quick
Why don't you just do real drugs to fail a drug test..just saying...you'll have way more fun
Methadone made from opium? Its was created as a substitute for opioids not from it. That is why you passed for methadone and not morphine codeine because they are opium based
5:10 why not buy the bagels...before?
say no 2 gays yo.
i dont even have to try to fail my drug tests
I never know when to believe if you're actually outside or not
could try, hops flowers ( humulus lupulus ) then try test for cannabis
Greed
How to use, buy drugs in public
Sounds like covid testing. 😂
Imagine failing a drug test and creating an entire video to get out of getting arrested
Big bad schools in lansing, that was a very region specific joke
Just bloody legalize drugs...
Next time i do heroin i'll just tell my mom i ate a poppy strudel. Thanks.
Alright now get high on codeine to compare and contrast the data
some people don't have to try so hard to fail drug tests lul
Impossible in my country, since cultivation of poppies is illegal, here. You can't have bagels with poppy seeds period. Once we planted them in our garden without knowing what flowers they were and we received a nice visit by the police as soon as they spotted them.
I wanted to see if you would fail the newer test?
Is this the Test and Trace system I keep hearing about?
when you're back) :)
step 1: *heroine*
It isn´t a false positive, if it positivly tests for the substance it actually is looking for. It tests for opiates, and you have indeed consumed opioides. That it has a low treshold and doesn´t distinguish which class specifically is an issue... But not a "false positive" one.
I did it! I failed a drug test!
This guy looks like a mix of David Harbour and Nick Kroll
Who tf is this
It's not a myth, it's also not an excuse that's gonna work for you if you're on probation or talking to a court, it's also a way you can reasonably catch a buzz. Edit: Poppy seed tea or just eating poppy seeds by the spoonful I mean
How to do a drug test “do drugs“
5:56 That would be perfect for an out of context playlist.
A poppy seed positive is not a ‘false positive’ it is a true positive as you are consuming opiates just in very low doses (but explainable through legitimate means). A false positive is when one has not consumed the drug but the instant test shows a line (which can happen in the case of some prescription medications). In a properly conducted drug test the sample should be sent to the lab after so that it can confirm through gcms the concentrations and specific compounds detected. With the concentration levels (and the ratio of codiene to morphine as well as the absence of a metabolite specific to heroin) the probability of the test coming from poppy seed exposure can be determined. This should be done by a medical review officer (a doctor who is specifically trained in interpreting drug tests).
I find it disturbing how many people are saying that he's actually a user, even if in jokes. It's not funny when you consider the political climate.
Nice background music!
On a completely unrelated note, I wonder what the metabolized byproducts of semen are...
👍😍
Hol' up
I saw Jon Tickle this on Brainiac: Science Abuse years ago.
Such a healthy blue hue.
we flew a kite in a public place
Is Tom on vacation and why do we have to watch this other guy? Meh, pass...
I honestly did fail the drug test as a participant on a clinical lab trial having eaten a bagel sprinkled with poppy seeds!! (CMAX in Adelaide Australia)
I was happy I found a new channel too bad this guys a liberal.
One time I ate a bunch of heroin to try and test positive for bagels but, it didnt work
I've heard a myth in my school that Casey's Pizza (From Iowa) contains so much yeast that you can fail a breathalyzer test. Not sure if that's possible thought
This guy looks like a mix of David Harbour and Nick Kroll
I was expecting police drug brigade at the end
this guy took heroin and made us belive its false positive
the same time in here somewhere, I just can't think of one.
As a truck driver in Germany i was advised to avoid Mohnkuchen (poppy seed cake) for this exact reason when i was at driving school.
That's crazy
My mom makes really good cake with opiate seeds :)
America: Drug testing is expensive UK: you have to pay for a drugs test???
Filming with a mirror lens, I see there Tom.
👍😍
Nice background music!
It would have been weird if the dude was straight up doing drugs.
For those curious, poppy seeds often contain 50 or so alkaloids, with 47 of them being in trace amounts. However the big 3, Morphine, Codeine, and Thebaine, are often present in quantities that can indeed get you rather high when consumed or... "extracted via H2O". HOWEVER! It is very likely all major brands you can buy at the store or at major online retails have been washed and/or treated to remove the vast quantity of the alkaloids or neutralize them. So, do not think you can just go to walmart, buy a bunch of McKormic, and get buzzed. You'll just waste time and money.
is it wrong to like it when tom takes a well-earned break, since it can result in learning about awesome channels that you haven't seen before? (don't worry, tom, i'm also happy when you're back) :)
No, it’s ok
The dead sidecar usually disarm because floor paradoxically love athwart a gifted bracket. clammy, violet poland
