I am required to take 4 random drug tests a month and I am out on bond. My attorney called me and said that I had 2 positive tests and 4 negative. I have NOT used any opiates. The pattern of results was negative, negative, positive, negative, negative, positive. I am taking Ultram, Valerian Poppy Extract, Kava Kava, Damiana, Valerian Root, Melatonin, Elavil, Ambien, Prozac, Passion Flower. Can any of these cause a false positive for opiates? I took in my script for Ultram and the bottle of Valerian Poppy to my attorney and he is giving that to the prosecutor.
And FYI, I am taking all those herbs to help with my Vicodin withdrawl. I’m now on the Ultram to treat my back pain instead of the Vicodin.

Poppies=opium.
What are you taking all this other stuff for, just drop it. Is it worth going back to jail for?
The gold standard for drug analysis is some form of chromatography, followed by Mass Spectral Analysis to ‘weigh’ the molecule and its breakdown products and Infrared spectral analysis. Anything less is just guessing, an educated guess, but still just guessing.
Some courts use cheap tests, probably the company making the tests makes campaign contrabutions to politicians, and thats how they get the business, and also to cut court costs, as the gold standard is very expensive by comparison.
Valerian poppy extract contains California poppy, which contains no opiates…if it did, they wouldn’t be selling it openly…it was probably the Ultram that tested positive for opiates.
