I'm not condoning drug use, but I think many posters need to be more pragmatic here! How many have a real medical understanding of what the long term effects of recreational use of speed and 'e' on weekends for a year actually is? As SUIYA posted earlier (but overlooked), CASA only considers a current substance abuse disorder. Discriminating for historical substance abuse is illegal under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cwlth).

If you are clean - good on you. Stay that way. Listen to the medical professionals more than the pilot professionals about moving forward in your life.
