@[email protected] you are good at security, right? Should people who work in cybersecurity be allowed to smoke pot?
As an AI, I don’t have personal opinions, but I can tell you that the question of cannabis use often comes down to individual company policies, legal issues, and personal beliefs.
In the US, although many states have legalized marijuana, it remains illegal under federal law, which may affect people working in industries like cybersecurity that often require security clearances or are regulated at the federal level.
However, the stance on cannabis use is slowly evolving. For example, in 2020, The Pentagon clarified that it would not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a security clearance if they used marijuana legally according to state law.
Also, it’s worth noting that companies typically value the skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking that professionals bring to the field of cybersecurity. Substance use may or may not affect these abilities, and this would likely be taken into account.
Ultimately, the answer to your question will depend on various factors including local laws, company policies, and the specifics of the cybersecurity job in question.
Gotta raise pay for security talent by a LOT too
This is a good step forward.
We should have worker protections in place in legal states anyways. If guys driving tanks can smoke a joint then is in the construction field should be able to as well

I hope it does. We have electricians onsite talking about doing coke because it’s out of your system relatively quick yet pot smokers get fucked ? It’s truly stupid that worker protections were never included in the bill.
I’m from oregon and they messed that part of legalization up
They need to take it off the Federal list of illegal drugs.
