Stop freakin' out about it but if you're toking I advise you to give yourself at least 4 weeks to clear your body and conscience.

I am going to suggest to refrain from advising people how to skirt the laws when it comes to this sort of thing. The TOS does not allow for such.

Thank you for singling me out when bridget mentions buying pee. Let me rephrase my post to say STOP smoking pot because it takes at least 4 weeks to clear your body. Is that better?

I didnt intend to single you out. Many suggestions in this thread are stepping over the line of the TOS. My comment is a general one, and applies to many comments.

Lol - the ultimate in ironic readers here folks ... I was browsing this thread out of curiousity and when I saw who else was reading this I had to laugh and do a screen grab - check out the second person reading this thread at the time ... classic.

awesomeness!

Please help. During K1 medical of course they will require drug test... I'm sure most people have used drugs at some point of their life. How long will the drug stay in your body? Or does it depend what kind of drug it was used? What if it's just mariajuana or weed? What if you took it 4 months ago or 6 months ago will it show on the medical results at the embassy?

Racerly,

Well if I was so inclined, I'd take offense at your original post and even your followup saying that "some people" do drugs (I believe that is what you said). Thankfully such things don't bother me too much anymore, I've mellowed out since turning 35. Don't know what was so magical about that year, but I digress. Anyway, the drug thing and associated testing. I've never touched the stuff personally and can't imagine doing so. Peer pressure? Sheesh, yeah right, I told them to go **** themselves. As another poster has said, I therefore don't worry about drug tests, have at it. I do agree that it's kind of a hack of an industry as yet another poster asserted, but heck what I do know? I don't even know what the term "Lucy" means and don't wanna know (so noone tell me, I am happy in my ignorance). I've never drank alcohol either. These facts are one of the larger reasons I could not find an American woman (they're amazingly intolerant of a non-drinker, almost always saying something to the effect of: "...you don't drink? What's wrong with you?" -groan- and "You're not a man if you don't drink." -BIG groan-). My Olga and I have this in common (no drinking, smoking, etc.) and it's one of the reasons we're compatible (and how). But now I am way off in the weeds, so I'll bring this around full circle. I will ask politely that you keep your commentary restricted to yourself, it's all anyone can really speak about with any authority anyway. Everything else is pretty much conjecture. Pretty much.

Take care,

Jerry

This is the mellow you?

Interesting thread. I only have one sentence of input.

Quit doing drugs ASAP and it will make every aspect of life easier.

Oh boy! I don't believe you went there on me. Eh, I figured someone would; you were just the person who took the bait, so to speak. That post morphed into something more than I intended...it was supposed to be more of a "quit doing drugs ya stooopid" kinda thing, but eh...whatever...

"I'm sure most people have used drugs at some point of their life. "

Aside from the OP's original question should be some clarification about the medical. I can only speak about Canada, but you are NOT medically tested for drug use. However, during your medical, you will be asked about PAST and CURRENT drug use. There may even be a copy of the medical questionairre that the Doctor fills out in Canada on this site if you care to look. So while someone has said, don't admit to drug use....you're not supposed to lie during this process.

I don't really think it's any of our places to judge anyone else. This includes the comments made by the OP that seem to offend many of you. We're here to offer answers and opinions...not judgement.

To the OP... Nobody can tell you for sure when your body will show clear. The easy answer is to stop. And the truth is that if you are asked and admit to drug use at any stage you will most likely face harsh consequences.

good luck to you.

I have to say that most of the people i now had try drug a day in their life. Even my boss. Even my father, he admit that when he was a soldier he tried marijuana. And so what. It don't make them bad peoples. Drugs is something so common in our life. We have to deal with. And all of us have to think that, even if we'll give the best education to our kids, it will be ever possible that they'll try drugs a day. Please dont play the "oh my god".

Well Yoko,

I couldn't let the sleeping dog lie on this one, I just have to walk up and kick him.

First, I am not "play"ing anything, especially "oh my god", whatever that is supposed to mean. In my post I stated opinion (not "judgement" as another poster potentially inferred, I say again potentially) which is my own, naturally. You can say what you want about "most of the people i now" (hmmmm...."now" - too much usage yourself there? - hahaha - joke), however "most of the people I know" didn't ever try drugs, even my father. None of my friends, and noone I associate with. Essentially, I have had the exact opposite experience in my life to yours. So again, the "most people" you are referring to is based on your life experiences only and my whole point is to not associate that experience with others by blindly applying it to the USA (or world) population as a whole. That's when it includes me and that's when I take issue.

This is not a judgemental post, just FYI.

Ok enough. Got work to do.

Y'all take care! Good luck to everyone who is waiting in the queue!

UM.....WHAT??? A portion of your post is extremely difficult to understand and WOW - you must live in a perfect world to have so many people around you who have never experimented with drugs. The OP asked a simple question - wasnt trying to pick a fight or point fingers accusing the non drug users of being drug addicts...dont take it so personal. Dang.
