Meth is a permanent and automatic DQ for every agency I'm aware of. Maybe there are some that have more liberal hiring policies out there, but I don't know of any off hand. Even still, you have to consider that you'll be competing against others who don't have that as an issue in their background, so it won't work to your favor either way.
