Can a Felon With a Non-Violent Drug Charge From 6 or 7 Years Ago Visit China?

Question by Play4Pain: can a felon with a non-violent drug charge from 6 or 7 years ago visit china?
I want to apply for my visa to china and I have a drug charge from 6 or 7 years ago. I have not been in trouble with the law since, and I have not been around drugs since then either. I have a passport already. I have been told that I can go to china by some, and they said since my drug charge was a small amount it was not a concern with the normal reason for denial, I also have a couple of misdemeanors from the early 2000’s which I have heard some say this will not deny me either. then I have others say there is no way I can go out of the country on a drug charge. I know people who have been able to leave the country on a drug charge though. I have already bought my plane ticket to go there, what is the best option for me, so I can go to china?
no I have a felony drug charge from about 7 or 8 years ago, and I was issued my passport last month. I am going to china to meet my future wife I hope, and I will be staying in china for 28 days if they let me. I know other people who have went to china and also have drug convictions, but this was in the past.
I am also on prescription medication right now, but it is legal to take with me to china

Help With This ?

Question by klmf: Help with this ?
A 14 year old girl was caught smoking in a locker room in Piscataway High School. It was against school rules to smoke on school grounds. When the principal talked to her, he also searched her purse and found cigarette rolling papers indicating marijuana use, searching further he also found a pipe and several empty plastic bags. Other things in her purse indicated that she was selling marijuana. The cops were notified and took the 14 year old to police headquaters. In juvenile court the girl was declared a dilinquent and received probation.

The 14 year olds case raised the question of whether the fourth amendment required school officials to meet the same strict standards as police officers where conducting searches of students property in school. The 4th amendment states that a warrant must be obtained before searching an individuals property. The principal had not obtained a search warrant before searching the girls purse. Therefore he could not use the evidence in court.
