"Traces of morphine in urine samples have been considered a clear proof of drug use or the consumption of food containing poppy in the past. Now a study by a team of scientists from the Institute of Environmental Research at TU Dortmund and the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St Louis, Missouri, point to another possible explanation: they managed for the first time to prove that mice -- and probably humans and other mammals as well -- produce their own morphine in their bodies."
The research showed a similarity between the poppy plant and animals. They go through the same exact 17step process to produce morphine internally. Morphine in the body can be used to help nerve cells, neurons, communicate, or to act as a "homemade" pain killer. It is possible that people who have tested positive for morphine use, may have actually been producing it in their body without knowing it.
