Yes: While poppy seeds can turn a urine drug screen positive, I am not aware of any reports of it causing people to have drug-like effects.

Stop breastfeeding.: There are risks of prematurity and poor fetal growth if you breastfeed while pregnant - stop this asap. Poppy seeds are not contraindicated.
