Will prior drug use disqualify you from from being a cop in California

[unlucky]

SWIM has wanted to be a police officer their entire life. however, like many kids SWIM went through a rebelious phase as a teen. MJ a few times ( never really liked the stuff) used to buy adderall from a friend for highschool football games.  pain killers 4-5 times. main problem was xanax, took it at night to help sleep but was never addicted or had huge problem. only hard drug is coke. but only used 2 times. was going to try E took a small bite of pill then spit it out because cause  SWIM knew they shouldnt. Swim has been clean for a year or so and is still completing college (slowely) so probably wont apply to a department for at least another 3-4 years. SWIMs mother has been an officer for30+ years will being a legacy help? obviously SWIM will not try to lie on the poly and will be completly honest but will making a few bad choices as a teen disqualify SWIM from their dream job? Because other than that SWIM is a great canidate Menttally and physically. with many skills that fit the "police officer" roll...sorry for bad spelling!

Also curious about what SWIM is. 

All that past drug use could hurt you big time if you plan on being 100% honest about it.  Especially since you've only been "clean" for a year.
