Good luck to you and the misses.

Maybe they were, but they were condemned by a lot of people, maybe they had the good sense to give it a swerve.

Think its amazing that so many of the people posting seriously sanctimonious comments are most likely people who would think of nothing about going and drinking several pints/vino's/sherries/Baileys/ whatever, yet comment SO vociferously about charlie!
And no people I'm not condoning, nor supporting it, but a drug, is a drug is a drug!

The thing is with a lot people there's just one way to look at things, which is theirs and they wont consider another perspective.
Somebody once said on here they'd rather work with someone who had been drinking than on drugs as they'd trust the effects of the drink more, yet this person had never took any drug of any sort.
So how could he come to a conclusion like that without having any experience to base it on?

I've always thought that part of the problem with drugs is that the media turns the whole issue into something for hysteria and widespread panic, without taking any responsibility for education of any kind.
A more successful approach would be to inform, in plain, clear English, what the dangers of respective drugs are. Also, what action people need to take if they find themselves - which does happen - in a situation that they are unsure about. The majority of Ecstacy related deaths occur through ignorance of the drug, it's effects and how to deal with them.
The kids of today WILL at some stage try drugs of some description, many without significant harm or effect on their lives. Others however will experience negative effects, and they need to be adequately equipped with knowledge and understanding to deal with it.
The 'Daily Mail drugs are bad lets sensationalise and repress education of the' approach just doesn't work. Something like the FRANK programme in the UK is much better, but needs to be more widely available in schools and places where young people are.

I think there may even be some advantages in there you know...

Maybe because one has been deemed by society to be illegal and the other not.

On a slightly more serious note: an old conviction for possession of cannibis/hash/grass doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting a visa.
A recent one for Charlie? Dunno, it may depend on 1) whether there's a conviction or caution, 2) how DIMIA view a recent conviction/caution for a Class A(?) drug.
It's about assessing the applicant's character. I think, even if there is a conviction, you could build a case for saying it was a one-off and out of character.
It's not a complete disaster if you're really determined (if the OP is genuine).
