"Knowing that a denial is a possibility, you may be tempted to lie about that prior drug use – don’t.  If you did partake, don’t be afraid to list prior drug use on your SF-86. Clearance applicants are much more likely to be denied a clearance for lying about drug use than for listing it. If you list your prior drug use and show mitigating factors (passage of time, removing yourself from social circles with drug users), you have a decent chance of being able to obtain a security clearance. If you lie about your prior drug use you’ll have two strikes against you – falsification of a security clearance application, and drug use."[/quote]
That depends on the circumstance. For example, if you know it would disqualify you, why would someone tell the truth? [b]They likely have no way of finding out and the polygraph is an absolute joke[/b]. [/quote]
This. Since most people don’t get polys, unless you were a serious drug user, the government is not going to know you are lying. There’s no point in dealing with a denied Interim and the follow up investigative questions.[/quote]
