At least they should. I guess Musk plays by different rules than us plebians.
- Reedx 8y agoWhy should they? It's much less problematic than alcohol.
- kosievdmerwe 8y agoBecause a clearance requires you to have discretion and control of yourself to maintain the secrets you learn due to it. If you lack the self-control to not use a federally illegal drug on camera, then do you have the self-control to not leak secrets to score points in an argument or if you're drinking with a friend and they apply some social pressure, for instance? Maybe, maybe not, but it raises red flags about how trust worthy you are.
- rifung 8y agoThe reason I was told by someone who applied for security clearance is because it's a crime (federally) and they are afraid that someone could use that to blackmail you into giving state secrets. I think it's a similar thing for illegally downloading music or whatever..
- yreg 8y agoSo people with security clearance can't do legal drugs? Can they drink alcohol?
- mikeyouse 8y agoSecurity clearances are granted at the Federal level -- and weed is most definitely not legal Federally.
