Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewer asks this question to see if you are currently using illicit drugs. If you answer that you think you may not pass the drug test, the interviewer will assume you take drugs and will disqualify you as an applicant. The FBI has a strict employment drug policy and employment disqualifiers. If you are currently taking illicit drugs, you will automatically be disqualified.

What to Avoid
When responding to this question, avoid being dishonest. If you know your drug test will be positive, tell the interview panel now and rethink your career choice as that is an employment disqualifier. If you use illicit drugs, you will not be allowed to work for the FBI.
