employers seldom hire at the interview. sometimes they don't hire for weeks afterward. then even after they hire, sometimes it takes time for the drug test to happen. put the worry out of your mind about the pill.

about the poppy seed thing. that's a myth. you'd have to eat lots of poppy seed for any to show as opiate on a drug test. i'm living proof of it. i was going to see a client and stopped at a restaurant for lunch. my sandwich was covered with poppy seeds. i'd say there were over a tablespoon of seeds on it. then, between the restaurant and the client's home i got into an accident. since i was on company time i had to have a drug test. this was about 2 hours after i ate. it showed nothing. i asked the person doing the testing about the poppy seed worry. she said it's just a myth, unless you eat bundles of them.

mythbusters did this ..........

the discovery channel program mythbusters [color=#36414d]put the poppy seed claim to the test, feeding mythbuster adam an enitre loaf of poppyseed cake and jamie three poppy seed bagels. tests were administered every half hour, and adam tested positive after the first test. jamie was slower, taking two hours to test positive after eating the bagels. both tested positive for the remainder of the day, but were clean the next morning, 18 hours later. myth status: confirmed

and very short lived......:lol2::lol2:
