If all goes well, I will have to take the poly for a LE job.  It is city and not federal.  I keep seeing conflicting information on the issue of lying and trying to beat the test.  I am a very honest person, very intelligent and very capable fo the job I am trying to aquire.  My only problem is some drug use that is considered heavier than marijuana and it was roughly a couple years ago.  I now that in many cases, this scheduled drug will disqualify you immediately.  I was in college and it was stupid but I did it.  Am I better off engaging in countermeasures or just telling the truth?  I am a fairly good liar when I have to be althuogh, I admit to hardly every having to do it.  I would just hate for me to excel in everything that is asked of me and fail to gain employment cuz of a couple past mistakes in this department.  Thanks in advance to any help...
