I am going to print my forum out before my next visit and have it in hand and ready to ask questions. I would not be against trying marijuana but i'm afraid it is not an option. I work for a gov't contractor and they test pretty regular and as far as I know Alabama is not on board with the medical marijuana movement. I should be ok until Friday and hope to go in armed with all the great info I am getting from comments and other forum info I have found at this site. Has anyone delt with using marijuana in a state that is not a medical marijuana state or a job that does not allow it??

I should tell a little about myself. I am 35. Smoker 15yrs+. Trying to quit. Horible timing. Heavy recreational drinker. Haven't had a drink in three weeks. That won't be a problem as much as smoking. I am positive for genital herpes and warts. That makes me think my biopsy will show HPV+. I currently work in inventory but I have worked in autobody and industrial painting since high school. I spent 6yrs+ painting military parts with CARC paint. A known carcigen. So I expected health problems later on in life. Just not this early.
I have regular check ups, dentist twice a year, no past health problems till this popped up. In the past year I finally started taking xanax for anxiety at work and trazadone for sleep. Until then I rarely ever took any meds.

Thanks for the replies. It feels good to be able to talk here. I am not a talker in person. It drives my wife crazy. I don't want to scare her or cause her to worry.
