Question: will a drug history affect my employment search? 

Answer: It depends on what you want to do and what type of industry. Certain industries will not over look it at all; some will depending on how long ago it was. I would not hide it... though some have suggested not bringing it up. I would definitely be upfront with your employer or future employer b/c if they do a background check and find it out w/you telling them, you definintely will not get the job.
