Is it true that acid (lsd) can be detected your whole life and you cant join the army?

Question

I heard once u have done acid you cannot join the army because it will always be possible to detect it in your system, it that true?

Answer 1

Actually, I believe that the reason why you cannot join is because some of the acid stays in your spine (or something to that effect), so maybe 10 years later, it's very possible to start tripping out of no where.  They'd probably think you could trip out while operating their equipment.

As far as actually joining, I dont know if they'd eliminate you or how they test you for that matter.  Possibly they'd do a spinal tap.

Answer 2

That, to me, sounds like an urban legend that people spread around to scare you into never even so much as glancing at a cigarette. Rhetoric like that tries to imply that even after one uses drugs a single time their life can be destroyed. It's not reality.

Answer 3

Not true. If so I'd never get a job.

Answer 4

No. That's an urban legend.  

Answer 5

as far as i know, acid is only detectable thru a spinal tap, and the army will not do a spinal tap on you when you're in the process of joining.  they will do a few urinalysises though

Answer 6

mm it stays in ur system for 6 months  

Answer 7

traces of lsd remain in your system (the spine)

this is why after just one use your brain is still affected years later

it's possible to just be driving down the road twenty years later and start tripping

and after three or more uses you become legally insane
