so we had a drug test for all our employees at our work place. turns out i FAILED. why? because i was tested positive for opium. not really surprising since poppy seeds contain opium [no matter how small of an amount there is] and i've been eating a hand full of poppy seed muffins recently. so i was suspended from work for that.
then they decided to turn it in for further testing. they called me back, said it was still positive and that i was terminated without a second chance for testing. WHAT.. THE.. F~ is it right to be fired because of a failed drug test that was caused by food? food thats sold in almost any food market? WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BULLSH*T IS THAT?! so how the hell am i supposed to explain this to them? if it were medication, then i'd be able to prove [with a doctor's note]. but this is food for crying out loud. gawd, what the hell am i supposed to do. -_- |

We're learning about different types of drugs in school now and we had to think of what we'd do in a situation similar to yours. It'd be hard to do..but to help convince them they were poppy seed muffins, you'd have to get the receipts for them and find a cashier who sold them to you to say that you bought them. Good Luck. It must certainly suck.
