How about a serious answer to my second question?
This entirely depends on the company. There are some companies that won't even bother with you if they have any reason to think you're on drugs. The fact that you're applying for an internship doesn't bode particularly well for you, but then again this depends on how the clinic handles the fact that you ate poppies.

Really? I was just thinking about that the other day. I must have missed that episode since I was thinking it'd be an interesting show. Did they test other things that are supposed to give false positives too? I've heard Aleve will trigger something.

Yikes, I too have thought about this very same thing since I eat popy seed bagels at least once a week. It really is a scary thought to think that eating a freaking bagel could screw you over so badly. Anyone know if they have been able to fix the drug tests so that they don't damn people for eating a bagel?
