Hey Guys and Gals,

This is my first post, and I have a situation on which I'd like some input.

A few years ago I was with some of my friends and tried MJ. It was the first and only time I've ever used an illegal drug. After smoking it, we watched a movie for a couple of hours, and I drove home. Now, after doing some research and posting the question in another forum, I've learned that I did, technically, drive while intoxicated.

So, when I divulge this info during the pre-polygraph sit-down for the CIA, will it probably DQ me from the rest of the application pipeline? BTW, I have never driven under the influence of alcohol.

I realise that this was a really stupid thing to do and, if I could, would undo the whole thing in a second. But, how hard are they likely to come down on me for this?

Thanks for your time and have a good one,
-A.

By the way, both President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney have been arrested for driving while intoxicated (the latter twice).

Dick Cheney's two DWI convictions also did not prevent him from serving as Secretary of Defense under President George H.W. Bush, a position that requires a top secret clearance.
