hey have any of you had to take a polygraph test for an employer? a job I'm looking into requires one and I'm wondering what types of questions they will ask. I'm mainly concerned about drug use questions. I smoke weed but will quit when with plenty of time to pass a drug screening, but will they ask if I've ever done hard drugs in the past? hmmm.

NO job is allowed BY LAW to give you a ploygraph test, unless you work for the government, job seems kinda shady, or youre lying

bullshit

Looks like you might have to smoke some weed to calm yourself and pass the test with out any problems.

well i'm not worried about the smoking weed part, i'll admit to them that i've "experimented" with marijuana but I've tried coke, acid and others that i don't want them to know about. If I straight up admit that I've tried harder drugs, I'm worried I'd be disqualified. I just wondered if anyone knows if that's a question they would ask.
