“#Biden White House fires staffers over past marijuana use<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A number of White House staffers were fired or demoted for past marijuana use \u2014 regardless of whether those employees had been in one of the 14 states where the drug is legal, according to a report. <\/p>\n

The Biden Administration had required workers to disclose past marijuana use on a background check form, but told some new hires that it would \u201coverlook\u201d those who answered yes, the Daily Beast reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite this, White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic reportedly led a series<\/a> of one-on-one calls with staffers this month, asking those who admitted to past marijuana use to resign or be placed in a remote work program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exclusively targeting younger staff and staff who came from states where it was legal,\u201d one former staffer told the Beast.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the administration officially updated its guidelines earlier this year to allow for \u201climited\u201d use of the drug in the past. <\/p>\n

Although marijuana has been legalized in a growing number of states, the drug remains illegal on the federal level \u2014 making it difficult for staffers trying to get security clearances if they\u2019ve used the drug before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policies were never explained, the threshold for what was excusable and what was inexcusable was never explained,\u201d one ex-staffer told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Under the Biden administration\u2019s new guidelines staffers were asked to cease all use of marijuana while working at the White House and submit to random drug tests.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
