    How long does it take for normal opiates to pass through? Because if they’re the same it doesn’t really indicate that it was from Poppy seeds.

      If a opiate addict went clean for 72 hours for a drug test they would be in very bad shape by the time they get tested again. It would be completely obvious that they are in withdrawal. They would be very anxious, shivering, vomiting, and shitting.

      Retesting after 72 hours is a pretty good indicator that someone isn’t using so long as you also observe physical symptoms.

      Plus failing a drug test is an automatic disqualification from future employment. Nobody is going to give you multiple chances to pass.

      That’s why you don’t tell them they tested positive the first time. You can also likely tell by the levels in their system.
