Honest to a fault...
Well, my wife has decided to tell the truth, the whole truth, etc, on her medical forms. She's admitted she smoked weed for a couple of months back in the late 80's when she was a teenager. She's insisted upon telling them this out of thorough truthfulness.
She hasn't touched squat since then, and she doesn't smoke or drink. She has no convictions either.
Just wondering, how DIMIA are going to take that.
What do you guys think?

I can't really help, but this is related: (I wouldn't put it on though, there's no way they could tell if you lied)
Anyway, we had an interview at the Embassy in Berlin for Pascal's visa. He'd filled in pretty truthfully how much alcohol he drank each week, and that he used to smoke(normal cigarettes).
The DIMIA guy laughed when reading the form, and said something like: 'I always love reading these bits, everyone lies!!'
Pascal was actually telling the truth, cos he doesn't drink that much.
Anyway, the guy was pretty laid back (and fairly young).
I'm not sure what DIMIA might think, I personally don't think that they'd care in this case, but you can't say for sure, and it might also vary per case officer.......
Hope Larissa helped!
