I've often fancied a career change to law enforcement, my brothers are all police officers but there's things I don't want them to know.

When I was younger (14 years ago) I did a lot of drugs as a teenager, coke, ecstasy, weed, mushrooms, LCD. Does the fact that I've done these eliminate me as a candidate? Do they come up on the lie detector test questions? I've heard that it doesn't matter as long as your truthful in your responses. Do you have any insight?

edit I know I've typed LCD, instead of LSD. Don't do drugs kids.

Thank you! I've asked this question in many a police AMA before and no one has answered!

I was 15-16, I'm 31 now, I haven't used any hard drugs outside of marijuana since my late teens. I never cared for the high caused by marijuana and quit using that around 20-21. I maybe tried coke again around 23ish.

As far as the hard drugs, I've learned that I tended to do drugs out of recreation or experimentation. Just kids being kids. I never enjoyed them and don't think they're worth the cost, or risk to my personal well being nor that of my family.
