Books – Ahmed Abdel Moneim:
Dr. Gaber Nassar, former president of Cairo University, revealed the reason for positive drug testing for some non-smokers sometimes, as a result of consuming a chocolate product imported from abroad, which revealed the presence of the poppy plant in its components.
Nassar said in a post on his official page on the social networking site “Facebook”: For quite some time, many complained, including those who occupy important positions and jobs, some of which require the authorities to which they belong to suddenly analyze drug abuse, and it is clear from the results of the analysis that the result of their samples is positive for the poppy drug and its derivatives. This exposes them to severe penalties, up to dismissal, even though they do not even smoke cigarettes.
He added, “By chance, I discovered that in the markets, major malls, and various petrol stations, chocolates containing a significant proportion of poppy are sold, and this is something that has become permissible in most European countries and America, but trading and eating it with the knowledge of its truth and the fact that it contains poppy drug constitutes a crime of abuse and trafficking, according to the circumstances.
He continued, “This explains the aforementioned phenomenon, and therefore we ask everyone to be careful.”
