Title is self explanatory. Basically, I got an Honors Attorney position and filled out the background forms. I admitted to using marijuana one time within the past year and was deemed "unsuitable" and failed the background check. I was able to appeal that decision with the agency and the determination was reversed and I am cleared to start in the fall. I am now working on my character and fitness application and am wondering I need to disclose the unsuitable determination I got first. It's not specifically called for anywhere in the application, but the catchall question at the end could.
Any thoughts? Specifically for Maryland.

Re: Another Character and Fitness Question RE: Marijuana and Maryland
If you have the money for it, I vote for contacting an actual C&F attorney in Maryland to get your answer.
But my (completely uneducated) guess is that they would tell you to err on the side of disclosure.
