Marijuana experimentation

[WannaBe3]

I tried marijuana three times. No charges, possession, etc. What is the age limit for any use to still be considered as a non-factor? or is there one? Will having done this have ANY impact on my enlistment? Desire for an Optn 40?? Is it something that requires a Moral waiver?

thx in advance.

There's an initiative on the November ballot here in Colorado to legalize pot. It'll probably pass. We already have hundreds of pot stores here in the state, but you need a prescription from a doctor to buy pot at any of them. There's one right down US160 from my place. If the initiative passes and is signed into law, you will no longer need a precription to buy pot, and of course the state will probably collect ten times the tax revenue they collect now. And let's don't even speculate on the effect legalization will have on drug crime, especially along the border. Most of it will disappear.

As to your paranoia about having smoked pot a few times before entering the army, there's a companion option to Option 40: it's called Option keep your mouth shut. Remember it. It'll serve you well for the rest of your days.

As a former resident of Colorado I endorse every statement in the post above.

Quick hijack: If a company has a no weed policy (the Military being a place that should have a no use policy), are there going to be any wrongful termination cases?

Tough

Doubt it. For the same reason Uncle Sugar trumps civilian law.

On another note.. unless they have changed the entry standards, time was that as long as your piss test is clean you can say you used coke up to 6 months ago and pot as little as 3 months. just sayin...

They finally broke me down at MEPS the DAY BEFORE I was to ship to basic, and I admitted to smoking weed occasionally my senior year in HS. I should've just been honest from day 1. The result? I had to wait two extra weeks and talk to an Army psychiatrist before I could ship.

Honesty is the best policy....check the sigline.

Yea, right. Tell me that after you've been married for a year or two.

I have been, and my wife deals much better with the truth, than she does a lie. MUCH BETTER.

Well here are two cases of what happens when you have previous drug use.

Case A: A young Ranger gets to 1/75 admits to smoking weed on a few cases. Some buttnut ivestigatior shows up at his company and questions the shit out of him for hours and hours about everything that has ever happened in his life including names and dates. # moths later another investigator arrives and goes through the same shit including interviewing his squad leader, PSG and some others who just happen to be in reach. Eventually the secret security clearance is isssued.

Case B: A young Ranger admits to heavy weed and possibly harder drug use and is investigated and fails to get a security clearance. He is RFSed and never to be seen again.

Take what you will from either of those stories

Just say you didn't inhale. Worked for a President.
