Can I join the military even though I’ve had a California Marijuana prescription?
I had always dreamed of going to the Air Force when I was younger but decided to follow another career path and went to school in California. Well now, I’m thinking of following through with my first dream and I would hate for this prescription to disqualify me from serving. I’m no longer smoking and plan on staying clean forever if that’s what it takes. Anyone go through similar situation?
The Prescription was for stress and loss of appetite. I had lost over 50lbs due to the stress so the prescription was a good cure when I needed it most.
You have to be drug free for a certain period of time before they’ll consider you. Contact the recruiter and find out what the time limit is.
This is tricky, it all falls on the hands of your Recruiter.
If you were prescribed Legal Marijuana for a disorder or disease defined by the Armed Forces as unfit for Military Duty, this will automatically disqualify you/deny you a Wavier-Able.
What did you need the prescription for marijuana for???
the thing you needed the prescription for is probably going to be a disqualify anyway
Well what medical reason did you have the Rx? This could be a disqualification b/c of the medical reason. Most reasons for medicinal marijuana use are diseases that prevent you from joining the military, regardless of drug use.
