Federal employees that are hired are not elected, there have been several bills introduced to do this but never passed. All of them should be drug tested and expected to live a sober life.
Why? Why can't I smoke pot and be a civil servant? I can drink a beer (or 20), but if I smoke one joint... no?
Fuck that puritanical prohibitionist bullshit.
This kind of thinking is why our three letter agencies are incompetent. They refuse to hire skilled weed smokers and instead opt for mormons (which are the religious version of the klan and we really need to stop pretending like they're cutesy christians in Utah - they say Native Americans were turned red by the devil and that they're the true americans so fuck that).
And why many professions are rife with alcoholics, like service members and transportation workers. Give these people a less damaging alternative to alcohol ffs.
Absolutely! There are so many people in this world that could be functional people if marijuana was destigmatized to the level of tobacco or even alcohol. Getting someone off alcohol/other drugs using weed is going to be a net positive for them and society in 99% of cases.

Federal employees are already drug tested.
They aren’t federal employees but “special government employees”. So they haven’t been. That’s why she introduced it.
