I am interviewing with EPIK for SoKo . I know there will be a physical, including a drug screen, when I get there. What is the drug screen looking for? I take some medications which I am concerned will come up, or are they just looking for the usual recreational drugs?

i get that ur kind of hinting around something or looking for answers. i was too when i came 2 years ago, luckily rules about this were ind of relaxed back then. so lets be clear about it, korea has an absolute zero tolerance when it comes to any recreational drug use.

if ur meds r legit, get a precription and note from u doctor with his contact info. maybe even have someone at ur nearest consulate or embassy notify it.

but if ur "self medicating" with anything, and i mean anything, just a little mary j. or the Heavy Heat, theyre gonna know about it. and they love to bust teachers for this stuff, be u actually guilty or not. teachers have been deported for just failing a drug test. and the horror stories are countless of folks trying to sneak stuff in or even have it mailed here. this is not the country to play around with any kind of narco, recreational or otherwise. i mean for petes sake, u can only get tylenol at a pharmacy and even there they r uneasy about selling u more than one pack of 8 tabs. stressing to u over and over to only take 1 or at worst 2 tylenol.

so if ur stuff is on the up-and-up just get every piece of paperwork for it u could imagin, then make duplicates. or triplicates. the more up front and prepared u r for it, to more legit it looks. but if ur system isn't "clean" best be goin to a GNC and get a system flush and start downing buckets of water.

best of luck
