Securtary clearance?
Charcuterie maybe...

Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.
The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.
In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.
“There were one-on-one calls with individual affected staffers—rather, ex-staffers,” one former White House staffer affected by the policy told The Daily Beast. “I was asked to resign.”
“Nothing was ever explained” on the calls, they added, which were led by White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic. “The policies were never explained, the threshold for what was excusable and what was inexcusable was never explained.”

Democrats, lie? Oh, say it ain’t so!
I guess the good news is this insures that Coke-head Hunter can’t join the staff.
Or not. “Rules are for the little guy” - it’s the democrat party motto!
...or that morning...
I'm old enough to remember when private employers never asked about drug use unless you came to work wasted or crashed the school bus you were driving.
I have a friend who graduated from Georgetown law school. This was many decades ago. He applied for a job at the Justice Department and went for an interview. One of the questions was “have you ever smoked marijuana” and he thought he would get bonus points for telling the truth. Interview ended right there.
Sounds like they all have grounds to sue for discrimination because it can’t be the marijuana use that’s getting them fired since Kamala Harris admitted to smoking it while it was illegal.

She burned weed and coal...
Since the grunts at Home Depot and chicken licken are subject to random drug tests, why is the president/Biden not subjected to this? Especially since he can’t put a sentence together and is now falling up stairs.
Translation: It’s not the reason they were let go
When they are using marijuana as an excuse I suspect it is not because of marijuana.
The DOJ didn’t hire someone they thought was lying?
I give that a 7 on the honking hoot scale.
Didn’t pedo Joe make Hunter a staffer ?
Start with staff, then VP. Get rid of them all.
I guess that means that Billy Jeff Blythe III won’t be invited to help out in the oval office. Someone else will have to train the interns.
Soon to be hoe in chief.
This is an issue in the Harris administration? Seems like they want to keep something else out of the news.
It’s only been legal in Jamaica - in small amounts for personal use, and sometimes for medical use - for the last five or so years.
I suspect that when Camel-a was ‘doin’ it’, it was illegal.
So much for laws.
I remember that-it seems to have changed when employers started to have problems with employees who overindulged in their favorite substance and caused problems that couldn’t be
brushed off...
More to it than that...hell you would have to be high on something to be around those idiots...
