Re: Marijuana
Why not come out and say something about it? Of course it's a risk to do it, but it's also a risk not to say anything and the test comes back positive. Come out about it up front and you can play it as a "what the hell" situation. "Hey, I just wanted to let you know, I was recently in Amsterdam where it's legal to smoke pot, and I tried it. It's the only time I've ever done it, but I wanted you to know about it in case it comes back in the test."
Most employers won't care. I told the last place in the interview process that I've tried weed before. The recruiter said "We get that answer a lot, it's not a big deal as long as it's something you don't still do." It was never an issue after that.
But that test comes back positive and you haven't said anything? You're screwed.
