Well it's a comparison. Not once on the security clearance paperwork is alcohol mentioned, while if you have smoked/eaten/etc. marijuana at ALL in the past 7 years, it's practically an instant deny unless it was under some exigent circumstance. You can even be denied if you don't partake but are close contacts with other marijuana users.
Obviously if someone is _addicted_ to either, that is a security risk. But the extent to which they reject people for recreational marijuana use is laughable.
- cosmojg 5y agoCan't you just lie?
- skoskie 5y agoThat is not wise. You do have to take a lie detector test, and they are actually good at reading the results.

The unofficial advice I’ve heard is to not even bother with SC if you use weed. Generally, it will be found out. I looked into this as needing an SC was a possibility with my current job.
