Nobody is going to do a drug test on your hair follicles for a Scribing position. They don't even do that in the military. Next question, please.


Also.. go take a big sip of chill!

An aside here. While many states are legalizing pot, it still is against the law by federal statute, in which the DEA enforces. The DEA is also the department that licenses health care professional for prescribing controlled substances, so getting in a tiff with the DEA is something the prospective physicians want to avoid. To expand this further, the DEA is under the Department of Justice, run by the pillar of progressive thought, Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, the Third. This man who hails from Alabama and as federal prosecutor brought lawsuit against a group that was helping African Americans to register to vote as violation of the voting rights act, is bringing back ideas and methods from over 30 years ago in D.A.R.E. and "Just Say No!" and considers pot a gateway drug that will led to crime, civil unrest, and who knows what. He appears to believe that US is back in the drug era of the 1960s-1980s. Maybe he watched too many old movies like "Reefer Madness". In any event, he may cracked down on pot use via insidious ways with the threat of withholding government funds like from universities and hospitals that do not increase drug testing and have a zero tolerance policy. Do not, for a minute, rule out that the most draconian drug policies, harshly enforced, are a real and distinct possibility.

So let me be very clear, in this political climate, I urge anyone who is applying to medical school, to abstain from any pot use from the moment they submit an application

I agree with ya, I did abstain long before I even submitted an application. I just got the interview sooner than I thought I would.
