WEED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Earlier this spring, reports from sources such as the Daily Beast revealed that around a dozen White House staffers were suspended, asked to resign or placed in a remote work program due to past cannabis use after completing background checks for positions in the Biden administration. On March 19, White House press secretary Jen Psaki backpedaled and tweeted that only five White House staffers were completely terminated from their jobs—but that failed to make the controversy disappear. In other words, even if they quit smoking weed years ago, they were still terminated from White House positions.
Considering that several past presidents, let alone several White House staffers, have admittedly smoked cannabis, hashish or hemp at some point, it comes off as a bit hypocritical, especially for the hardworking individuals who are otherwise qualified for the job.
