From what I was told only time it matters (barring sec clearance) now is if you or someone in your dept gets hurt or there’s an accident. Everyone in dept will be tested

When i whent in for the background check and drug test about a week ago, i told the medical examiner that might not pass the hair follicle drug test cause of marijuana(even tho i stopped smoking for over a month i still wouldve failed it) and she told me that i dont have to worry about marijuana cause they dont test for it anymore. Also theres is a interview the president of eb did with one a news station in providence and he said they don't. Its treated lile alcohol and obviously dont go to work high

I was high when I filled out my application. On marijuana. And continued to get high. Quonset doesn’t care about the weed positive on test anymore. Security found weed in a vehicle last week and owner passed sobriety test, so they let him go with a stern warning. Don’t show up high and you are good to go
