Drug Testing Questions?

OK can anybody correlate the amount of mg needed of say an opiate to cause a 300ng (nanogram) urine screen to show up positive. I'm curious because i want to know if there is direct comparison from mg's to ng's. Also if poppy seeds from say a bagel or muffin are ingested there is chance of showing up positive also for opiates, and the weight in mg of poppy seeds on an average bagel is probably pathetically small but can still cause a dirty drop. So the ultimate question is, what are milligrams compared to nanograms?

This is something ive pondered on for a long time and even the drug testing customer support didnt have an answer, but science and math can answer any question such as this. All advice welcome.

Check Erowig.org and see

Check Erowid.org's drug testing vaults and see what they have to say. I'm not very familiar with that page, so I am unsure as to what may or may not be on that site.

That just sparked a memory

That just sparked a memory of a Friends episode LOL. I remember one of them had a positive drug test and they said it was from eating poppy muffins! I have no clue if that can really happen though. Sorry, I really don't know anything about this, I was just commenting on a memory!

I guess Mythbusters did an

I guess Mythbusters did an episode that included this topic. Click the link, and go to the second or third episode to read a review of their experiments and whether or not it came back as true, or myth.

The episode aired 3-7-2003.
