I've never seen a dispensary accept anything but cash. Bank cards are tied to the FDIC, and because weed is federally illegal, banks won't allow you to use your card there.

it seems funny when we consider the context of public political figures, but Joe P. Nobody doesn't have pundits and oped writers working around the clock to shield them from consequences when they perjure themselves and they don't have the political connections to help them leapfrog the investigation process

I'm not saying "pity these people", they should have expected this when they worked for a loving prohibitionist

I'm just saying, don't blame them for taking the process seriously. Federal hiring is different than private sector hiring. Lying on the background check and faking the drug test is actual perjury and you really can lose a lot more than just the job opportunity. The FBI has a lot more access to your records than the private sector does, and you waive a lot of your rights to privacy from intrusion when you sign the form. If you're willing to bet your future on the notion that the shady company that partners with state unemployment to put ATMs in every dispensary isn't sharing their receipts with the FBI, by all means, lie on the form.

I'll say that the security services see violation of previous employment 'agreements' as the bigger deal. I.e you worked at the OMB or Walmart and they prohibit marijuana use, but you acknowledge you didn't follow that agreement by using the bad drug.

That said it's all bullshit, if any govt org wants you bad enough they can get you through the clearance process regardless of past marijuana use. That is of course extra true when working for the president who is the person who stands atop the entire clearance system and can do whatever he likes with it.

Thankfully no, lol, I'm 100% private sector so there's actual laws protecting me from that sort of thing

There was a big batch of people being done and the CEO was in line right after me that morning, so I said "oh, poo poo, I just peed, s-sorry!", and the HR lady let me get a drink while she went to collect the CEO's piss. I heated up a little bottle of water I was carrying with me at the time and slipped it in my pants, and mixed it with a vial of powdered urine once I was in the bathroom. Came out frothy and warm.

As an aside, the drug testing lady was poached from the narcotics unit of our local PD and was mostly used to nail people to the wall before they could get the company in trouble or sue us, it felt pretty good to pull one over on a professional

This seems like a Joe thing, not a security services thing, they really don't care if you smoke weed if they actually want to hire you. And no the FBI likely doesn't have bunch of informants working tourist traps selling weed to the surrounding states lol they are way to busy entrapping people on terrorism charges.

edit: and for the record recreational marijuana is legal in DC, you just can't 'sell' it so people instead sell 't-shirts' with a free gift. Or so I understood it to be that way.

Because the first time a president takes an escalator into air force one, every opposition party pundit will be talking about how it's time to invoke the 25th amendment

The logic is that a president should be able to tackle a flight of stairs or at least have a good reason to not be able to do so

And to be honest, if the extent of someone's disability is, "being old", maybe the stair test should loving stay

I missed this earlier but uh have you really never seen an ATM in a dispensary before? Is there something in your state that keeps ATMs out of dispensaries?

Most places with legal regimes get around the federal prohibition on marijuana by having banks partner with dispensaries to put ATMs in the lobby. Yeah, you have to pay cash with everything, but you get cash at the dispensary.

My state's unemployment agency partners with the banking network that runs most of the dispensary ATMs around here, as a matter of fact. Best places to find fee-free ATMs for unemployment are dispensaries and liquor stores.

I mean that's my point

The federal background check process gives somebody a reason to care, and enables them the constitutional reach to do it

Does it mean they will? Maybe not, but I've heard of people getting whacked on a clearance form two years after the fact, it's clearly not a rubberstamp process and if there's something to find they'll find it. Why even take the chance?

I think so, I'll have to check. But I know the one you are talking about. The analyst was taking everything that came across her desk. Literally consuming all the drugs literally every day.

iirc, police loved her though because if they told her "this is a bad guy" when dropping off the sample, somehow she would always find something!

the courts are fighting really, really hard to not throw out all of the cases where fraudulent testing was involved. The argument that has been used before in situations like this is that even if the test results used as evidence were fraudulent, the legal process itself was still sound and so there would be no grounds to overturn cases.
