Background Checks: 911 Dispatcher and 5150 in 2014 and a Question About Marijuana Use

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: CA

Hello all.

In October of 2014 I had a 5150 when I was suicidal and was committed for 3 days, after which I returned to work. I since have been in therapy and under the care of a psychiatrist and am doing much better. I am applying for a position as a 911 dispatcher (so the gun ban is not an issue.) I do not want to be dishonest and lie, so should I address the 5150 head on, knowing it will likely come up in a background check? And how do I do that the best way?

Secondly, they ask about various drug use and I've been sober all my life (drink very rarely and in moderation, no smoking or drug use.) So I marked never on all. But now I'm thinking back... I honestly can't remember if I ever tried marijuana in college. Again, I don't want to lie. Since I already marked "never" and am 99.9% sure that's accurate, should I just go with that?

You do undergo psychological testing and a polygraph from what I understand.
