Cannabis? You're Fired!

Dozens of White House staffers have been suspended, relocated, or asked to resign over past cannabis use. Staffers were initially told the administration would likely overlook past marijuana use, only to later be asked for their resignation after they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House. The policy has even affected staffers whose cannabis use was exclusive to one of the legal cannabis states.

Episode 731 of the The Talking Hedge podcast, hosted by Josh Kincaid, titled "Cannabis? You're Fired!" was published on March 25, 2021 and runs 6 minutes.

What about Kamala? In February, 2019, Kamala was trying to look cool on The Breakfast Club - where she was asked by host Charlamagne Tha God whether she ever smoked pot, to which the now-Vice President replied: "I have. And I inhaled – I did inhale. It was a long time ago. But, yes."
