I actually passed a military security check (with a pee test) when I was positive.

Was sitting in a outdoor cafe in Amsterdamm years ago when I was living in Europe. Couple of people in the table next to us were smoking either pot or hash, who knows which. Caught a couple of very strong whiff's of it and thats it.

Fast forward two weeks later where I was sitting in St. Louis at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft HQ. Had been called 10 days before for a job on a military contract and asked to come to CONUS for the interview and processing. Went through all the questioning BS and that was fine, then came the "pee in the bottle" check.

Told them about the situation in Amsterdamm (remember its legal there) and they looked at me funny for a bit but said "we will note it." A week later got my badge and the admin pulled me aside and mentioned that the THC did show up on my sample but it was so small that they could tell that I had not been smoking it. Had I not mentioned it I would have been busted and not gotten the job.

When I was a kid in school tried pot a few times. Fun but not my cup of tea. When I retire may try it again, who knows. Until then I kinda like having a job and money coming in every month so believe that I will stick with something like Jack Daniels for now.
