I smoked K2 or spice last year (May-Aug) I am not really sure how many times but if I had to
guess I would say about 30 – 50 times. I have always been curious about marijuana but never
smoked it because it was illegal. I have never done any illegal drugs of any kind. The only reason
I decided to use K2 was because it was legal. I bought it over the counter at a gas station and
it had the same effects as marijuana so I thought I would be able to see what the big deal was,
finally. I thought since it was legal, it would not be held against me. Honestly if anything, I
thought it would be frowned upon, I was curious and decided to smoke K2.
I filled out a preliminary information packet, 100% honestly, for a Police Department and
received an email yesterday stating, â€Due to the recent use of K2 in 2010 listed on your Preliminary Form, the ______ Police Department would not be able to offer you a job as a police officer. We would like to see a minimum of 10 years from the use of K2 and being considered for the position. This does not disqualify you from taking our civil service test and going through the hiring process.â€
I was wandering what your perspnal/departments thoughts on the matter are. I know that some departments have a 3 or 5year time period for marijuana usage. I can understand if departments treated it like marijuana but, do you know why there would be a 10 year period for something that was legal? Is there something thatI am not seeing?
I understand that certain departments have different regulations. I am just worried that other
departments are going to say the same thing and I threw away my chance of becoming a police
officer due to a stupid decision I made.
At the time of usage, K2 was legal. After I stopped using it, it became illegal all over the U.S.
-----------------
Edit: Just for some clarification (not like it matters to anyone but myself), but I just wanted to say that I did not post that message. My roommate has that issue, and typed that posting. He applied for this message board and didn't want to wait for the time for it to process. I told him he could use my account because I am mainly a lurker and do not really post here or even visit this site much. I wasn't aware of how letting someone post on my account on the internet could affect my real life, and I guess I will take this as a lesson learned.
Everyone is free to do what they want, and say what they want. TDCJ has many phone numbers so feel free to tell the agency that I work for what was posted under my account. I am not sweating it.
Be safe everyone.
