So, I live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and I am a patient, however I made a mistake over a year ago where a sealed bag from my in-state dispo was left in the car when I travelled state lines. I got charged with the possession and can't expunge until 3 years have passed. I recently lost my office job over it since it's federally illegal and my federal security clearance renewal was denied from the new charge. I've always wanted to be in the medical field and had to stop pursuing radiology technology just due to the strenuous nature and commitment to be a full time student for two more years with no ability to work at the same time. I found an associate's MA program near me I could finish in less than a year due to all my credits I've already done for pre-radiology but am worried about pursuing it with my "criminal background". I fear it potentially could cause issues in hospitals I could try to externship at or I try to work at when I graduate. Is there anyone that's successfully been able to become an MA with a minimal record?
