South Korean airport authorities crack down on Trader Joe’s bagel seasoning

Travellers say the popular seasoning mix by US brand Trader Joe’s has been the subject of increased confiscation, because it contains poppy seeds

While poppy seeds do not contain opium, authorities fear they could be contaminated with opiates, a class of drugs that can relieve pain and cause drowsiness.

This whole thing is clearly ridiculous, but that's a hilariously dismissive way to describe opiates.
Ignorant and idiotic. Like banning hemp rope for its relationship to cannabis.
- don't give them ideas 😆
- I mean, you can live without hemp rope, but cannabis is very illegal in South Korea, so they're fine removing everything hemp
  
  Analogies are hard? Cannabis is harmless. Poppy seeds are harmless. Poppy seeds are related to opium the same way hemp is related to weed. Just like hemp/cannabis, not all poppies can make heroin.
This is HILARIOUS because my girlfriend LOVES this seasoning and was just visiting from Korea and was searching online to see if she was allowed to bring it back 😂😂😂. People on the Korean forums were saying stuff like "omg americans are so addicted to drugs they even put them on their foods" and we were dying 😂
Get in loser, we're smuggling everything bagels into South Korea
