Wonder what the outcome would be if a person lived in Colorado and used marijuana before they ever even applied for a job requiring a clearance, then got hired and submitted their forms. Let’s say on the forms this person said, yes, I smoked pot yesterday, but if I get this job I’ll stop.

So in my hypothetical scenario, the drug use occurs when the person is not cleared or even employed by a contractor, but the drug use is very recent.
