FBI is shooting itself in the foot with these sort of policies. I can understand not wanting to hire someone smoking weed on the way to an interview, but in your spare time? What about all the law enforcement staff who abuse alcohol? Alcohol's been proven to be a more dangerous substance but Congress and the scheduling system are still opposite of the data.

They act like hiring those who occasionally partake in cannabis is somehow the equivalent of the army laxing physical requirements to enlist.

Well it's against the (Federal) law, right? And it's your job to enforce the law. Pot bans may not make sense, but it's tricky if you start openly ignoring a law. I mean it's not like they get people's personal data without a warrant or anything. :)

They have moral requirements. Pot is made by criminal enterprises and by purchasing it you're supporting them.

So take it off the banned list. Legalize it. Take the power & profits away from the criminal element. Stop wasting money sending otherwise perfectly normal people to prison for years for having a god damn plant. The whole reason cannabis is on the list in the first place is because Harry J Anslinger was a racist prick.

Ain't nobody hurting you by smoking pot. How many people drink every day and kill innocent people in car crashes? Nobody is OD'ing on pot either, given that it's physically impossible. Nobody is out committing robberies to get money to buy pot. More people have been killed by Uber's robot cars than will ever be killed by smoking pot on their couch at home.

Damn I want some of whatever you've been smoking.
