All of which is entirely irrelevant to the thread. Have you something to contribute to the topic?

To the OP--your honesty is a testament to your character; learn from your mistakes and press on!

Sorry to hear about that buddy. Your AME is a real D%$#. Tell your friends, the answer is "no". In fact when I did my first medical my AME told me: "Before you tick yes on anything, tell me and we can talk about it"

I didn't get what he meant and I ticked yes on that I take medicine for hayfever. I will carry that around on my medicals for the rest of my freaking career. If you continue in this career you will learn, never volunteer information. You are always guilty. We have arrived in the "Age of BULL*******" and it no longer matters what is "true" or "real". What really matters is how it looks. Make it look good.

This is not good advice. You have to answer truthfully and completely on the medical application. Yes, you should seek prior advice from an experienced medical consultant familiar with the CAMI procedures and act accordingly.

So you think it was a good thing that he/she was denied a medical because he smoked a joint at a party in high school?

How is smoking a blunt in the safety of your home and the comfort of your friends a situation which was “physically hazardous”?

Just a question. I don’t smoke period.

Is what it is. MJ is a federal controlled substance. Doesn't matter what any of us thinks.

If you get caught lying about it you can go to prison. This is real, not hypothetical. So usually best not to lie.

That should be a clue that our government is not responsive to the people.

Sometimes the response is NO! ;)

I for one am all for legalization of pot. I'm also all for drug testing of employees in safety sensitive positions. Booze is legal, but you can't come to work with it in your system. Reeferheads can't expect special treatment.

Until they come up with a real-time THC impairment test (like a breathalyzer), then weed is not compatible with flying, or many other jobs.

While much of the traveling public probably blazes up, most of them don't want their pilots (or doctors, etc) blazing up. Government is doing fine in that regard I suspect.
