I am currently competing for a position within the IC which obviously requires a TS/SCI. During the polygraph phase I was asked about drug use, to which I admitted (also on my SF86) of use over 10 years ago when I was a kid (marijuana experimentation less than 10 times total). They asked asked about people I associate with doing drugs. I told them my girlfriend occasionally used marijuana socially, and not regularly (once every few months at the time). She has since stopped socially using marijuana, and does not associate with the people she used it with - for over a year. She never bought, possessed personally, or did any of this around me, and never in my house.
All of this information was relayed to the organization which I am applying. In the opinion of those who are familiar with the adjudication process, would you consider this a potentially disqualifying issue? Or have the circumstances been mitigated to a point where they are a concern, but not damning.
