A Chinese motorist arrested when his urine tested positive for opium use was released when police discovered he had eaten poppy-tainted noodles from a restaurant.

YAN'AN, China, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- The owner of a Chinese noodle restaurant admitted to adding opium ingredients to dishes to hook customers after a diner was detained.
Police said customer Liu Juyou, 26, was arrested Sept. 3 when a routine urine test during a drunken driving screening tested positive for opium use and he spent 15 days behind bars until family members helped him test out his theory that he had been served spiked noodles.

Family members went back to the restaurant and tested their own urine after eating. They informed police when they found they were testing positive for opium use.

Police said the owner of the eatery, identified only as Zhang, was brought in for questioning and he admitted to spiking his dishes with parts of a poppy plant, the main ingredient in opium, to keep customers coming back for more.

I don't usually complain about free drugs, but secretly spiking your food with drugs is the sign of a real asshole.
The restaurant owner should go to jail, imo. Not that using drugs should be illegal, but spiking people's food with drugs should most definitely be.
 
It can't just be poppy seeds, right?
I assume that it is real opium. The article seemed unclear.
But nobody is going to arrest you for using poppy seeds in China. I am sure I had a poppy seed bagel at a hotel there once.
And poppy seeds aren't going to really get people hooked.
 
I agree spiking people's food/beverages is sleezy and I met a guy who lost his sister because someone put a ton of opiates in her beer.
It's wrong... but... I wish someone would put some clean high grade opium in my food. please.
 
Slimvictor I think the guy was grinding up dried pods and adding them to the noodles, not poppy seeds. I know a number of people who used to make poppy seed tea, and they used doses that varied between in the hundreds of grams up to kilograms and over, it seems unrealistic anyone could reasonably add enough poppy seeds to induce a high from the food without people putting two and two together.

This is a very shitty thing to do, drugging people unknowingly is just not acceptable behaviour regardless of the circumstances. With that said, I wouldn't be complaining too much if my local noodle joint spiked my next order of Singapore Noodles with some opium poppy!
 
I don't think people were getting high, if I remember correctly it just said they were failing drug tests. I wonder if my local Chinese place will sell me a takeout box full of pods.

Aha, so it was the pods!
And not enough to feel anything or notice.

I have tried opium several times, but never enjoyed it (except once when mixed with weed, mostly because of the weed, though).
 
Notice though he didn't explicitly say rape. He said "have his way with her". In that sense, assuming he meant make her more willing to have sexual relations with him, I don't think he is as wrong.
 
While the motivation behind spiking someone's drink with a powder amnesia inducing drug and adding ground up pods to your dishes certainly seem one in the same here, I would still argue that they're a little different in degree (the former being more extreme than the latter).
 
The plan probably wasn't to get the customers nodding but to cause a dopamine release and physical dependency, both subtle. Not really a novel idea, the whole fast food industry is based on it.
 
^very good point! look at energy drinks, cigarettes, etc. High sugar beverages and snack too. It's not just my opinion, but processed mass produced sugars are a poison, and it's sad we're so disposed towards craving sweet foods. It's really the perfect poison as long as you're not in too much of a rush.

I see what you are saying.
But tricking someone into eating your food seems less evil than tricking someone into having sex with you.
