<human>: More of a question for Canadian corrections officers, but any information is helpful. I am a 20 year old male, hoping to possibly start the process of getting into this field soon. The question i have is regarding all the information they want on your past drug use/experimentation. I can check off 6/10 on the list that i have tried(never been addicted or used constantly), but haven't touched any drugs in nearly the last 5 years and would never even consider doing them again. How do they handle this information? If i am honest and answer the questions truthfully, will it negatively impact my chances of getting into this career? Part of me would like to just lie and say i used to smoke some weed but don't anymore, but i know there is a polygraph test later on in the interview process and that is a risky situation. I would like to think that my experience in these areas makes me a more valuable candidate because i could easily spot someone on drugs, and understand the thought process of people under the influence of different substances. But in reality, i assume that if they looked at my application and saw that i had tried Cocaine,Exctasy, Marijuana, LSD,Hash/Oil, and Mushrooms, they would immediately throw it away.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: SHOULD I LIE ABOUT MY PREVIOUS DRUG USE ON MY APPLICATION FOR THIS CAREER? I HAVE A STRONG FEELING IF I AM HONEST I WILL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE.
