    Ive just applied as well. Ive read a fair amount into the medical. From what I read, so long as youve flushed it out of your system (just dont take it for a number of months) and have never been caught by the guards for having it, you should be fine. They do take a blood and urine test, so you really need thst gone from your system. Im not in the same boat as you, i was worried about sight until i found you could wear your glasses.

    I failed the urine test and I was more than 3 weeks clean of smoking weed. Just make sure you stay away from it altogether, not even one drag. It's a pass or fail so even a trace will disqualify you. Fortunately for me I could reapply straight away and I'm certain ill have nothing in my system.

    Stay focused and all the best!
