You should know that this is a common result if you have recently eaten poppy seeds (within a few days, I think). Opioid drugs like heroin, opium and morphine are derived from poppies, and poppy seeds contain a small amount of drug analogs which can result in you testing positive. This is probably THE MOST common reason for testing positive for morphine on a drug test, since far more people eat poppy-seed bagels than take opioid drugs. I would suggest this possibility and get retested.

Ask for an immediate retest. Have your doctor do blood work and urinalysis, too. The sooner the better to prove you had no morphine in your system.

yes you can retest but youll have to pay for it yourself. if the test comes up clean in most cases the employer has to reimburse you for the expense.
