Except for the deportation bit, that's not much different from the Navy.
They ask you a dozen different ways if you've ever done drugs. If you have,
tell them so -- they won't hold your past against you unless you lie about

Re: mistaken plant identity -- I have a pressed leaf of Acer palmatum
dissectum which has gotten me "knowing" winks from some people. Sillier,
though, is when I get that reaction to a pressed Liquidambar styraciflua
leaf. I can also get a reaction by showing people (who have not been to the
