I highly doubt that. If you are going in as a civilian without military experience, the prime age for hire is about 25 -28 ish. You will see them (CIA/FBI, etc.) at college job fairs, but they rarely hire anyone straight from college - unless you are EXTREMELY accomplished as a college student. What they want to see is real world experience and leadership. Even if you get to go on an interview, without job experience, there is no way you can answer the series of situational questions well.
As far as drugs, you can't have anything to do with drugs within the last 10 years - doing drugs or have any connection with people doing drugs. If you EVER sold drugs, you can forget about it.
The lie detector test is just as hard as the interviews - if not harder. If you have anything to hide, forget about it.
