I'd never thought about it before, but poppy-seed muffins are fairly popular in Western culture; what is the source of all of those seeds? Is it a similar situation as Coca-Cola has with the DEA?
- wavefunction 11y agoThere are different varieties of poppies. Some are unsuitable for narcotics production as they don't produce the opiates in question. Still, consider the following information which I had assumed to be an urban legend but is apparently true: http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp
- stephengillie 11y agoWill those unsuitable for narcotics production still yield a positive test result? Also it highly interests me to find an edge case that various law-enforcement agencies haven't handled at all.
- wavefunction 11y agoI'm not sure and can't do any quick research as I'm at work. I'm generally interested in traditional pharmacology but have to admit that opiates don't interest me very much compared to other naturally occurring psychoactive substances.
