A member asked:
Is it true that drinking chia seeds such as the drink made by "mamma chia" can show up as an opiate on a drug test? i read online that it can

Not able to find: Confirmation. I found lots of claims online that it can show up, but the botanical information i located on the content on the plant would not support that it could cause positive tests. Poppy seeds actually do contain tiny amounts of opiates than can cause a positive test if they are consumed in enough quantity. I do not think there is any established evidence that this can happen.
