[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question - 
How long ago was the heavy drug use? [more or less than  7 years ago]

How old are you that you choose 2 years ago to smoke pot?  This can be a flag that you really have not come clean and understand that this is breaking federal law

Is there any enforcement part of the direct organization that you are hiring into?

There are people who work for me who did not get public trust b/c the smoked in Amsterdam.  [/quote]

Heavy drug use ended for the most part 10 years ago. I continued to smoke pot regularly until I was 25 or 26, then on rare occasion (like once a year) until 2 years ago. I used cocaine once or twice in my early post-college years in DC, that would have been 7-8 years ago. I'm in my early 30s.

I made some bad choices along the way, but I think any of my friends they will or would interview would not say I'm a drug addict or anything like that. I'm responsible, have held down jobs and made rent and for the most part lived a normal single 20-something-in-the-city life, but I liked to party. A lot changed when I met my DH, now I live in the burbs and have a kid. I don't know what this all means for me getting a clearance, which is scary. I'm feeling pretty low since it's a good job opportunity and now I'm dwelling on stupid shit I did in the past. [/quote]

Disclose all of that.   Just say it like you are telling us.  10 years is generally the cut off for major stuff.  [/quote]
