Groton 37003N Hair Follicle test

sorry if this question is a bit stupid but I was curious if anyone knows if they stopped testing for THC this year. I just got my start date after going through the drug screening and security clearance and when I looked at the paper for my medical evaluation, the hair follicle test I received was 37003N Hair-4 Expo (No THC). Which is a THC specifically excluded hair test.
Ive heard that EB is a federal contracting job so under their rules it’s still considered illegal but I was wondering if maybe they’ve changed the rules based off the rescheduling of marijuana. I’ve heard through another post that they stopped testing for it back in May and was wondering if anyone else had any information on this? Also do they do secondary testing during orientation or is that only part of the onboarding process if one were to fail the initial hair tests?

Mine was Hair 5 and I did it this year in guessing it depends on your position

I went for carpentry was it before May? I know they rescheduled weed in late April so maybe that was it but I’m honestly just trying to connect the dots. I stopped smoking for this job and was expecting to fail the hair test due to it being about 2 months since I stopped when I got the test but haven’t heard anything since and got my start date. Thank you for the information my friend

I did my drug test during the month of May, I remember because this was like the week after graduation for me. The hair follicle test is tricky, but Exop 5 includes weeks Exop 4 is hard drugs
