Hi all.
If I may help to clarify somewhat....
Poppy seeds of the Opium variety contain so little 'active ingredient', particularly after baking, that one would have to consume literally tens pounds for them to have any 'effect'. 
Drug-test kits that detect opiates though, can detect very minute portions of opiods in a person's system, so it is quite feasible that consuming a couple of poppy-seed bagels or so could produce an indication of opiate use, however small.
No effects though I'm pleased to say, so you can use them without worries.

Hope this helps..... And if it does, my very first post on this forum will not have been wasted.

I await with interest  :blink: :blink:
