Poppy seeds can "pop" a person positive for drugs. But...you have to ingest a HUGE amount of them. Back some years ago, there was a sailer that was found positive for drugs. He swore up and down that he NEVER used and the ONLY drug they found in his system was a form of opiates due to ingesting the poppy seeds. Don't know what happened to the guy...
But, you can check out Snopes.com and you'll find out that it's true.
