DHS Head John Kelly gave a clear signal that the Trump administration is heading for a marijuana

45. I think there's just a cultural difference that depends on geography, too.

As I said in another post, back east there's this dichotomy between the 'staights' and the people who at least look like they smoke pot.

Get out West it disappears, in my experience. It's ingrained in the culture. People grew up with it, their grandparents smoke pot.

And businesses understand
one) that weed doesn't drain anyone's creativity (rather, in many cases, the opposite)
two) that someone smoking a joint or two on the weekend is probably gonna be in much better shape Monday morning than the guy who had a date with a bottle of Tequila---
and
three) it's just so damn prevalent that even if its a huge sticking point for them, there's not a whole lot they can do, particularly if they want good people.

Even James Comey ran into this a few years ago, when he suggested the FBI had to relax its policy of not hiring people who had smoked marijuana in the past year or so- why? Because they simply couldn't get decent computer people with that restriction in place. They just weren't there, they weren't willing to work on those terms.

So the question is, does the FBI get left in the dust by hackers and criminals because it can't hire anyone decent to do their tech work, or does it get over its bad self vis a vis whether or not its hackers smoke a bowl on occasion?
