Help me out here. Should the troops not eat poppy seeds because poppy seeds are actually drugs in some way... or should the troops avoid poppy seeds because a rash of false positives would have to be reported and the subsequent investigation could reveal that the drug tests used by the military are a load of expensive garbage?

“...the drug tests used by the military are a load of expensive garbage?”

They aren’t garbage if they are doing what they are designed to do. Golden Flow was designed to determine the use or misuse of drugs in a military member’s system. And not all the times is it explainable. Do you want a person strung out on junk next to you downrange? I didn’t nor did I wish to lack support for my fellow member by my indiscretions. They don’t track Tylenol but altering drugs. I was using banned drugs for medical treatment and went positive a couple of times. Took the bottle to the commander, and it was ignored. I missed some TDY’s due to the drug discovery. But I can see the reasons. And they do work if not set up wrong.
