Its unlikely that they will even know you had a prescription for medical MJ, but you will have to pass a drug test and things like that. Plus the fact that your back is messed up might limit you from being a firefighter, considering you may have to carry someone out of a burning house, not to mention the other extremely physical aspects of the job.

Im looking to apply for the los angeles fire department within a couple of years. i just turned 19 and im still going through my degree in fire technology completing all my fire technology classes and whatnot. because of this i figured i have at least a year or 2 before i even apply and then most likely need to apply a few times as rarely anybody gets in the first time. I also have a slipped disk in my 10th thoracic vertebrae and it is a legitimate problem which i can receive medical Rating: 5
