I'm not on any sort of test plan, so testing is not a factor.


Are you a commecial pilot? If so, how does that work?


Nope, I'm a private pilot. In the late 60s and early 70s I used a variety of
drugs. By mid-'73, I didn't smoke pot very frequently 'cause I didn't like the
lethargy. In '74, however, I got married to a woman who was pretty habituated to
marijuana. She got wrecked every night and really got upset if I didn't
participate.

After we broke up, I went back to school. I stayed straight because I needed a
good head to get the grades -- besides, I could barely afford food. After that,
I went to work for a company that has a zero tolerance on drugs and crime. I
wasn't about to lose my job and possessions and take prison time for smoking
reefer, much less any of the more esoteric stuff I tried in my 20s. My company
didn't test for drugs, so I was really just concerned about the possibility of
arrest. I also needed to keep a good head for my work, so I'm not sure I
would've smoked much if it had been legal.
