Afaict the process has gotten way more lax. Some friends have mine have gotten cleared with heavy mj use up to a few months before applying for clearance. They did have to stop using though
- delecti 5y ago> They did have to stop using though That is kinda the point. At this point I'm very accustomed to not getting drug tested for jobs, and I'm not willing to give that up. I don't even smoke that much; I'd be willing to give it up for the right reason, but defense contractor clearance wouldn't cut it.
- mfer 5y agoIf you get a US security clearance there is a lot you may have to give up. For example, someone who gambles a lot at casinos and lives paycheck to paycheck may get denied for their financial reasons. There's nothing illegal there. It's not about following the law. They don't want to give clearance to people who could get into situations where they could be bribed or taken advantage of and misuse of a clearance is used to wipe away a debt.
