I have finished my physical exam; however, I was asked if I have tried marijuana. I honestly answered during my highschool days. Now im anxious coz they required a psychiatric eval. Please help.

They would not have requested a psych evaluation for using marijuana. You must have other conditions/history indicating the need for the evaluation.

i second this. Marijuana use is common in Canada and like someone pointed out above, soon it will be legal. Did you mention anxiety or anything else to the doctor?

Do you have any other mental conditions and/or history of mental illness that you disclosed?

If not, then either you misunderstood what happened or the Panel Physician is not following the rules.
