Poppy pod tea and drug tests

[existential_apathy]

I have a drug test coming up in about a month. I have been consuming poppy tea (along with the grinds) once a week for about two years now roughly, with a few breaks. I realize that morphine is very water soluble and will be out of your system in about 4 days.

So perhaps this is a dumb question but google hasn't been too helpful. How long will it take after my last dose to be completely sure that I will pass the drug test? I realize that pods are morphine and codeine but are they digested in such a way that will make the detectable period longer? Or will I be fine to pass a drug test 5 days after consuming my tea? I plan on giving myself a week to be able to piss clean urine. I am not phyiscally addicted, so I can quit whenever I want easily.

I am also slightly worried about the accumulation of pod dust in my room. Breathing some of it in or having specks of pod dust up my nose may gave me a slight dose of opiates. How significant would unintentionally breathing in pod dust be though? I imagine that it can't be more than what eating a poppy seed bagel would do, and it certaily doesn't make me high.

I wouldn't worry about the pod tea but that dust might cause a positive test. Pod dust is notorious for this kind of thing.

I plan on sweeping up and vacuuming my room today. It's not as if I'm running my hands down the surfaces and licking dust off, but if I unsettle something a big puff of pod dust raises to the air. Better to be safe than sorry I suppose.

So you're saying that the detection period for pod tea is just like with straight morphine?

[hovadagod]

No. I was just joking. Pod tea 1/2life could be longer than morphine but I have no idea. Maybe someone else can help but the pod dust thing is just so hilarious it is distracting from your real question.

AH YEA that pod dust
srsly you will be fine with the dust, I doubt even if you snorted lines of it
it would show up in your pee test.
Just buy a home test kit, and check yourself
don't use any drugs a week or two from test date.

your room probably needs cleaning anyways, so vacum away.
but pod dust??? no your are fine

Well, believe it or not, but a friend of mine who walked into my room with was covered with pod dust and which was recently unsettled causing pod dust to fly in the air, actually claimed that he was starting to get a buzz. I had a hard time believing it and was leaning toward it being a placebo effect, but I don't know enough to say that it is completely impossible. Regardless, I do think that any pod dust I accidently ingest, either through breathing it in or using a plate or spoon that had dust on it, won't register much higher than eating a few poppy seed bagels.

You can always test yourself using those urinalysis home test kits you can buy at drugs stores.

They are CRAZY expensive there, but look on line for SINGLE panel tests (why buy a 10-panel if you're only interested in one drug).

Once you have some of these test sticks, you can use some tea, then stop & measure how many days you still pop +. If you buy many of these test sticks, you could check your pee twice a day, until it reads negative.

This info would be really interesting!! If you wanted to test it.

If you are eating
poppy pod flour
I'd say the alkaloids
could remain in fat
from 6 to 14 days

Am I fucking hallucinating? Kyuss? Is that really you posting bud?

Fuck'n a... been a long time bro...

What do you mean by "flour"? And I thought that because opiates were water soluble and not fat soluble that they didn't attach to fat cells: they were just pissed straight out.

I agree with you, the metabolites tested for in the "OPI" antibody urinalyses (dip stick) are for those of morphine--generally considered water-soluable.

Kyuss is correct that fat-soluable drugs are detectable for a longer time due to body fat absorbing these fat-loving drugs & their fat-soluable metabolites (THC & valium fit this category).

I think the only chemicals in poppy tea that can be detected in the typical UA multi-panel dipstick tests are morphine & codeine (codeine because ~30% of it is changed to morphine). These are water-soluable and should clear the system in about 5 days.

I might be 100% wrong, but the characteristics of eating poppy-pod flour might "resemble" the effects of a fat-soluable drug, but would more-accurately be described as a TIME RELEASE form of morphine, codeine, thebaine, etc.....

Because morphine in the eaten poppy flour is released slowly, over a longer period, than just drinking pod tea (in which the morphine has already been extracted--like "immediate release"), a person will likely show positive UAs for a longer period of time, all other factors being equal (dose, metabolism, etc...).

Please correct me or add more to this info if I'm not right.

if a smidgen of poppy seeds will test you dirty.....I imagine a small amount of pod dust would be even more likely....

it takes a seriously small amount of poppy seeds to test one dirty.......
