There are 5 people who are no longer working at the White House, says the CNN report, and others are working remotely. Another Daily Beast report said that the staff were told that previous cannabis use was going to be overlooked but in some cases, this only applied to one of the states which already sold legal products. “There were one-on-one calls with individual affected staffers – rather, ex-staffers. I was asked to resign…. The policies were never explained, the threshold for what was excusable and what was inexcusable was explained,” says one of the former White House staff to Daily Beast.
