I have been with my pm dr since march 2008. All of my urine tests were neg except for my xanax and my oxycodone which i am prescribed by him and m primary care dr. Well this past one i tested positive for thc. so i asked the nurse what that was and she said marijuana. So i told her there must be some mistake because i dont smoke marijuana. So she asked me had i been around second hand smoke and i said well i was in the car driving with my cousin and she smoked a joint but her dr is aware she does it to help with nausea from her cancer treatment. She told me it would be sent to a lab for confirmation. So my question is can my pm dr drop me for testing positive for this even though my test before have always been neg for street drugs? I know he will probably retest me again not a problem they wont find anything but my meds im prescribed but im terrified when I go back on the 30th that he will drop me as a patient. Have any of you ever experienced this and your dr drop you? I know some of you use this as a medical treatment. Can he drop me for having it in one test out of all the others? I love my pm dr and would hate to lose him as a part of my medical team.

" Really!? Ranch dressing with poppy seed? I serve this at almost every barbecue with vegetables. Could this mean I'm jeopardizing my family and friends who are drug tested randomly at work with a possible problem?

Really, I seriously thought this poppy seed thing because confused for marijuana was an urban myth. Time for me to do my research huh.

Unbelievable. Wait -- just thought of something. If you eat handfull of poppy seeds, does it have the same effect as marijuana? "
