Top-Secret National Security Clearance But You Still Can’t Smoke Weed?

Simply put, the memo implies that anyone likely to continue using cannabis and other illegal drugs has no business applying for a security clearance. Also, workers found in the future using illicit drugs might have their security clearance revoked. This policy is not limited to psychoactive drugs alone. It also extends to CBD products derived from hemp plants. Although the U.S. Congress legalized the consumption of hemp products as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC, the national intelligence agency maintains that most of these products contain more than 0.3% THC. Rather than take chances, all workers are expected to stay away from all forms of cannabis and hemp.
