There is more to it than I think you realize.
You will be asked in your first interview if you have taken/are taking drugs??
You can either lie and say No and then get caught in week 6 when they do CDT or you can say yes and get defered for at least 12 months till your clear.
Your recruiter will ask you when was the last time you took drugs? what are you going to say??

I gave up three days ago?
We can pick and choose our applicants at the moment and we only want the best.
Have you actually been into your AFCO/ACIO yet??

Are you sure the army is for you.

Drugs and military lifestyle do not mix.

I was piss tested on my recruit selection many moons ago. I am sure you will be, especially with the way drug misuse has increased over the years.

The army is doing very well on recruitment at the moment. What makes you think they will want a stoner? I believe canabis stays in the system a lot longer than other drugs too.

Have a good hard look at yourself and make your decision. If you lie, you will get found out as mentioned above.

Johnson Beharry VC dabbled with the high grade before joining up..

smoking weed is for the weak minded, drop your loser friends going no where in life who smoke .. and better yourself, give up and you never know what is in store in your future..

BTW Harrogate is very competitive and i doubt you would get in until next januarys intake anyway.. so the crap would be out of your system by then..
