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.

1) Use of a substance in a situation in which that use was physically hazardous, if there has been at any other time an instance of the use of a substance also in a situation in which that use was physically hazardous;
Just a question. I don’t smoke period.

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

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.
