Those poppy seeds in your pantry may be opium poppy seeds. To be US legal
they roast them before import. Are they black? roasted. or brown? unroasted,
probably very old.

One should note, that if your daily breakfast has a poppy seed bagel
or roll in it..you may indeed test positive at your next drug
screening.

Its a fairly common false positive, and I believe that the followup
test to determine the exact substance will show it to be the seeds,
but many companies dont pay for the followup, and you may be screwed.
