I mean, that's not the CIA's choice, is it? Cannabis is, for now at least, still a federally prescribed substance. I don't blame them for not wanting employees that break the law.
I bet as soon as the law is changed they'd welcome you with open arms.
Of course it’s the CIA’s choice. There is no law saying that the CIA can’t hire someone who has broken the law. Are jaywalkers banned from being hired by the CIA too? It’s their choice to determine their self-defeating hiring requirements.
I bet as soon as the law is changed they'd welcome you with open arms.
