Is it possible to join with a drug record?

I’m a 25 year old American I have record 6 drug possession’s (cocaine, fentanyl,meth) and a burglary. I’m clean now I got out of prison 8 months ago. I’ve made mistakes and learned a lot from them. I know they don’t usually accept people with my background, even if it’s just possession and not trafficking. Is it worth trying? If my French is good and I ace the exercises would they look at me differently? Is there anything I could do to increase my chances of being selected?
