Disclose Marijuana use on application


I have to have a thorough background check and a lie detector test, the application asks whether or not I have used marijauna- should I say yes? It was when I was about 16 years old and I only did it twice and that was about 20 years ago, and it was like 2 puffs lol I was experimenting. If I say no on the application I am worried I will fail the polygraph test. Is marijuana use something that would prevent me from getting a job if it was that long ago? Unfortunately on the application it doesnt ask when I used it, only IF i have used it.

I say tell the whole truth. I once took a polygraph and the question came up about my marijuana use. I never smoked it only held it to my lips, at any rate, I said I never used marijauna. Before I even took the polygraph they asked me have I ever used it or experimented with it and I said no. During a polygraph you cannot change your previous answer that you already told them. So I kept saying no. They started asking me several variations of the same question. Apparently it detected I was lying and I was not offered the job. So take my word and tell the truth. Anyway, at sixteen we have all done something we were not supposed to do. Good luck.
