Question

Poppy seeds?? What the??

OK so I made poppyseed chicken tonight which is a dish that we don’t eat very often but it sounded good and I had a craving for it, and i used 1 tablespoon of poppyseeds throughout the entire dish which makes six servings. I ate about 1 1/2 servings myself and then my mom said well you need to watch out for poppy seeds while you’re pregnant because they can be linked to other opioids. Surely not right!? Not the ones that you get at Walmart in the McCormick containers?? Like these aren’t black market poppyseeds! Ha ha. What do y’all think?

Bahaha thanks y’all ??

Answer

The poppy flower is where opium comes from lol! It’s okay though, seeds won’t get you high, especially the tiny amount you ate. They tested this on mythbusters, Adam ate an entire lemon poppy seed loaf and tested positive for opiates. But that’s A LOT of poppy seeds!

Answer

You definitely wouldn’t feel high lol. If you had an upcoming drug test then it could produce a positive result. But you won’t get high from eating poppy seed chicken.

I think it has to be a large amount of Poppy seeds, but yes, if you have enough at once, they are an opiod.
