Biden White House fires staffers over past marijuana use: report

A number of White House staffers were fired or demoted for past marijuana use — regardless of whether those employees had been in one of the 14 states where the drug is legal, according to a report.

The Biden Administration had required workers to disclose past marijuana use on a background check form, but told some new hires that it would “overlook” those who answered yes, the Daily Beast reported.

Despite this, White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic reportedly led a series of one-on-one calls with staffers this month, asking those who admitted to past marijuana use to resign or be placed in a remote work program.

“It’s exclusively targeting younger staff and staff who came from states where it was legal,” one former staffer told the Beast.

The move comes after the administration officially updated its guidelines earlier this year to allow for “limited” use of the drug in the past.

There has been so much ridiculousness happening so fast over the last 2 months I figured they were all smoking dope.

I'm just enjoying the show. Well scripted, well acted, well produced. Look forward to seeing the ending.

That’s really weird. Obama and Clinton were notorious dope-smokers. Harris sent dopers to jail while laughing about doing it. Biden...he’s too square for dope but I’d bet he’s used it. None of those clowns would pass a background check mere muggles have to take.

Something must be up.

Might be grounds for a discriminatory hiring lawsuit. . .

It’s still illegal federally, so sorry, Biden is right in this regard (I can’t believe I’m saying this.)

Hunter Biden is a big crackhead and pedophile like the old man, and has access to the White House whenever he wants, but having smoked a little weed in the past is taboo..

There are several different accepted definitions. I use the word to mean a commonplace person who is not part of an exclusive club.

Guess I should have said, “Those clowns wouldn’t pass a background check that mere mortals have to take.”

I just remember a friend of mine riffing on marijuana slang in high school...”...joints...muggles...greeters...” Never got into the Harry Pothead books.

The policy is a legitimate choice, but lying to people to get them to admit this and then firing them is frankly disgusting.

But, what do we expect from people for whom lying is their stock in trade? Including lying to voters?

Surprise piss tests. I’m sure there are cokeheads in the mix, too.

It’s kind of a test, too. It weeds out applicants who admit to crimes no one has proof of. Then you’re left with the clean and the clever.

I should clarify that I basically agree with you, but some simple questions aren’t always as simple as they seem.
