Poppy seed or known locally by its Turkish name khaskhas, as the name suggest is the seed of the poppy plant. It is usually used in curry and European, Indian, Jewish cuisines. That means our Malaysian favourite nasi kandar probably has poppy seed in them.

I remember last time there is a big hoohaa about this because it is claimed to make people addicted to the curry by some "Dr." but I never heard if poppy seed was banned or not.

So is it legal in Malaysia? I know it is banned in SG due to the morphine content.

Ok.jpg.

No wonder nasi kandar nowadays tarak sadap lagi

Kena ban or not also dunno la wei.

Some more only a few gram in whole pot of curry, poppy seed is expensive la wei, you think the mamak will taruh 1kg for you ka?

What other not legal things does your waifu shop sell?

It still contains the same substance found in poppy plant's latex, just in lower amount and it still gives a positive in urine test.

Odd, I've seen more than a few places that bake cakes with poppy seeds...

Can get this in Malaysia?

Made using poppy seed paste or red bean paste?

dunno. it's filled with poppy seeds. gives a slight sweet, nutty and smoky note plus texture to the bun.

NO

the amount for food preparation is not enough to claim it as a drug subtances

pay it and you will get the license.

Already mentioned in opening post.

The biggest concern for a ban will be due to whether it is halal or not instead of intoxication effect.

The big issue raised some time ago doesn't seem to have any result.

It is considered as a kind of spice, not only used in Indian cooking, it is also used in our beloved fish head curry.

Your urine wont test positive for using poppy seed ts.Don't anyhow tembak la.

if this is halal... then will be ok liao...

You will get a false positive after heavy consmption of poppy seed, I don't simply tembak it has been proven.

This i agree,Cannabis does make food taste better but so does poppy seed.

It does not mean that you will be tested positive for using some sort of drug.
The urine test nowadays is more developed and this kind consumption is nothing.

Problem is don't even know if this is halal or not.

last time eat nasi kandar then ngantuk like mad
nowadays no more oredi

Read again, poppy seed contain the same morphine and codeine as opium. With high enough consumption, you can actually get high on poppy seed as well. Urine test is done to specifically test for those substance in your urine no matter the source and therefore will give a postive, it is the follow up test that will prove negative, that is if the local police care enough to send the urine for further test instead of press charges based on the early result obtained from urine test.

You sure it is the poppy seed? Or you just eat too much since ular need time to digest?

Reading from wiki and getting punishment in real life is altogether different.
I have tried this things in international borders and they are not stupid to prosecute me.
I've eaten curry with large quantity of poppy seed and have gone through the immigration in singapore countless times before and have been tested 2 times.
They are not stupid and they know the difference.

im pretty sure its the kas kas
the food tasted damn good and you will feel sleepy as hell later
not high though

the eating too much part, im not sure

Reading this give me a new meaning to "Nasik Ganja" (those from Perlis knows it).

I know one malay koay teow kerang stall in sungai petani who used canabis kicap in his goreng.
Never have tasted such a koay teow especially in a malay stall anywhere in msia.
Don't know if the stall is still there or not

I believe that they can tell the difference at the border with enough facility but what about those times when the police decides to raid a random night club or someone got pulled over at the road where they only conduct simple test?

That is when the problem comes.

Location pls, want to see what so special.

u enjoice ngantuk2 ?

Poppy seed is not illegal in m'sia, but don't go getting a drug test for a couple of weeks if you just had poppy seed cake or something, because it will come out positive because you'll still have trace amount of codeine left in your body.

oh please !

most of the poppy seeds that are being used in cooking these days are not from the traditional drug producing areas such as Afghanistan or northern Thailand - most are from Australia

Yes, Australia

They grow a species of poppy plants that are LOW in morphine content, much lower than the regular poppy plants
