Members Ponds Posted March 19, 2021 Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 I don't think it's necessarily Joe's decision. The federal government still acts on the premise that possession and use of pot is a federal crime. I think he's just abiding by the laws, no matter how archaic they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 19, 2021 Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 I don't think this is about smoking pot. It's more likely about lying about past pot use which is something you don't do when you are trying to get a security clearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 19, 2021 Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'm thinking about this line from the Daily Beast story... “There were one-on-one calls with individual affected staffers—rather, ex-staffers,” one former White House staffer affected by the policy told The Daily Beast. “I was asked to resign.” I'm guessing that whole piece came from someone who got fired for cause way beyond pot and the fact that they ran to the Daily Beast tells me that they probably deserved it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted March 19, 2021 Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) One of the articles said that staffers were told that they could tell the truth and not be penalized for past pot usage. So they told the truth, and were hired. And later asked to resign -- This. Edited March 19, 2021 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted March 19, 2021 Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 That makes it even more likely it was about something else that popped up. "I told them I smoked pot, they hired me, then they fired me for smoking pot" doesn't sound logical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted March 21, 2021 Members Share Posted March 21, 2021 LOL, it's never going to actually happen. It's another Trump vaporware project that's always coming in 'two weeks'. If it ever gets off the ground after grifting his followers for its creation, which I seriously doubt, it will have a short and sad life not unlike Parler and he will walk away claiming success. Just like every other failed business he's ever had, including his presidency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
