Also, on topic: it's pretty well known that if you're applying for a federal job to lie on your background check about marijuana use, regardless of the circumstances (like state legality).

Stupid that it's still a thing, but the issue is that if someone fucks up and doesn't lie (which pretty much everyone knows is what happens), there's no way for people to come to bat for you.

Comparing drugs to alcohol is typical college liberal behavior. But yeah. If you drink on the job or have an alcohol addiction you will not get a job or get fired.

I've mostly liked Biden so far, but this seems pretty dumb to me. Especially given how many states have it legal locally nowadays.

If you can't handle your drink then sure. Getting an addiction to alcohol just means you are weak willed and depressing.

This...as someone who once used to work for the federal government this is basic knowledge

Meh I don't agree with it but honestly this is very low priority on the list of political issues that I care about

This dude must be new to trolling. People stopped biting on his initial bs so now he's onto insulting people who struggle with alcoholism... but he's still not smart enough to be even a little bit subtle or get any engagement.

Obviously that's a selectively applied rule considering the VP has admitted on radio that she's smoked weed

Vice Presidents don't have to worry about getting fired.

It's dumb, but it is common knowledge to lie about that. Shit, I've done literally everything except meth and crack way back when I was a teenager, but I'd never admit to that on an application form. I've even not so subtly given people recommendations that a section of a resume was blurry and they might want to fill out a section again wink wink on applications I've reviewed before.

Idk how you have security clearance when its a requirement not to have used drugs...but the Trump children had it didnt they?

Biden really needs to remove the federal on Marijuana. Leave it to the states. I feel even conservatives would be on board.

clearance requirements consider mitigating information relating to any negative criteria, fyi

I lost a federal job a few months ago for this very reason. Because I was dumb enough to be honest about using it a handful of times over 30 years. It's absolutely stone age thinking and it's barring talented people from taking important positions. It's harming people over something incredibly stupid.

Damn so if I just do a little bit if heroin and don't get addicted then it isn't a drug? Hell yeah

Also, friendly reminder that Obama admits to using Marijuana and doing, "A little bit of blow" in his 1995 biography.

So at the very least Joe should do right by the man who's coattails he rode to his current presidential position.

Universal truth about rules =p.

I've seen people barred from federal research campuses because they didn't lie on their background check about this.

Like I said, it's stupid, and the unwritten rule is to lie.

I don't know why anyone is shocked by this-- Biden said he was against marijuana reform before he was elected, so this isn't like he has changed his view or anything.
