MEDICAL CHECK-UP MARIHUANA QUESTION TODAY!

[Woofey&Chaka 2]

I had my general check-up today. The doctor asked me from one moment to another if I smoked weed and said I had smoked 6 months ago. He asked me if I had smoked before that and I said no. Do you think if that had been an issue, he would have told me. I got my results anyways and he actually said everything was great and even wished me a great journey. Do you think he hadn't given me the results if that had been an issue?

There is a very high chance that you will be denied; and that denial can also come with a ban for a certain period of time (likely, a year).

Go to the search bar (top right corner) and do a quick search for "Denied for Marijuana"

There was a guy, I think he's from the UK, his visa got denied because of it. He did not even smoke, just a secondhand smoker- he said it was on his party-. But, I am not sure it will apply to you because he did it 2 weeks before the medical examination and you smoked it 6 months ago.

Did you have to do a urine test? And issues that arise at the medical are not discussed with you. Your results are unknown to you, and then the CO will be the one to let you know of issues and if you are approved or denied. It is possible for you to be approved anyway, but you should be aware that you could be looking at a denial and 1 year ban for the drug use.

No, I didn't have to do any urine test. The doctor was very open about my check-up. He told me my X-rays showed no problem, that my blood test didn't show any issue. He told me there was no problem preventing me from having my trip. So why would he say that to me knowing that having used Marijuana could lead to a visa denial.

The doctor is not the one who approves or denies a visa. The Embassy CO does. Good luck and be prepared for either decision.

Yes, as everyone has said, it's not the doctor that makes the final decision. I know hearing denial is scary, but stay positive. When is your interview?

Again, you might be okay, especially if you tested clean at the doctors. Just keep your fingers crossed the CO sees it that way too..

My interview is next Friday. Well, my point is that actually said there was no problem related to my health that could result in a problem for my process. He said everything (my blood test, x-rays...) was great except my right eye, which I seem to have a problem with, but he said it wasn't an big issue. I remembered he asked why I had done pot and if I had done it before. I said I did it because my roommates were doing, but I clarified it was the first and only time I did it.

My roommate had a visa denied because his fiancée said she tried drugs over ten years ago.

What kind of drugs? I could understand that for things like cocaine, but marijuana? I doubt they'd be that strict if it's not still in your system.

[Theboz 10]

I believe it was pot

[Tala202 27]

I believe it was pot

Now that's just odd..

[Theboz 10]

She told the doctor she had tried drug over ten years ago and at the interview they denied he for that cause

[Ketsuban 1,034]

The US is incredibly strict on the use of narcotics, even though Colorado has legalised weed.

Not odd at all. Do a search on VJ) on people who admitted marijuana use long ago getting denied at interview. It's been a popular subject lately. Its very subjective with certain countries just more strict. No one knows what the CO is writing in the notes either. They may tell you anything and say all is fine and it well maybe but CO has final authority.
