[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weed shouldn't be illegal at the federal level especially since it's already legal in many states

If you can't see the difference between smoking weed with a friend and robbing a bank, then I can't help you[/quote]

I mean, I agree. Just don’t be surprised when your clearance is denied for it. [/quote]

Ok a couple of things:

1. If you robbed a bank, you probably would also be denied for a clearance.

2. While I agree with you about weed being no worse than alcohol (which they do question you about in the clearance process, but obviously don't prevent you from consuming), agencies can make whatever requirements they want. The concern with drugs is that your judgment will be impaired and you'll be subject to blackmail. I do think that as weed becomes legal in more and more states, federal agencies will be under increasing pressure to loosen their restrictions. They absolutely differentiate between weed and harder drugs. For weed, they just want no use in the last 12 months. For harder drugs, they really don't want any usage. [/quote]
