This probably actually happens. I’ve heard many many stories from folks with lots of clean time who randomly pop positive for drugs like fentanyl and meth when they’re tested by a treatment center or other type of provider or even their PO. I’m sure some of these cases can be explained by inaccurate self reporting (lying) but I’m very sure that some of these cases have no normal explanation, where the person legitimately has no idea how they tested positive (myself included, I’ve had this happen a couple times at least). Would be interested to know if this could explain it, although I’m not sure how we could figure that out definitively.
Its like back when every official person said you cant register dirty from poppy seeds on food and all these people were busted for opiates and got convicted for it and then when it was finally independently tested it turns out you can fail from eating a couple poppy seed bagels
Next thing you know, people are gonna be failing drug tests because they ate a tuna sandwich…

Yeah true. That’s still a problem depending on who is testing you.
Indeed, entirely possible. They’d basically have to start testing all of our food to both find out and be safe, but you know that ain’t gonna happen.
Yeah. As usual nothing is going to be done about this, almost certainly.
