Hi, all - DoD detailee up for clearance upgrade (S->TS) in the coming weeks. BLUF: I made a poor judgement call pertaining to a recent “legal” THC/CBD drink and want to understand my options.
Background: In an effort to help cut out alcohol usage (which was already quite moderate, but trying to get healthier) I was exploring some of the herbal drinks that are often advertised online. I’ll fully accept the critical lapse in judgement on this one, but one of the drinks I was testing out mentioned legal THC/CBD, and I ended up trying one of them. I even thought I’d done my research… but no surprise - as part of a routine clearance rules/responsibility PowerPoint training, it was flagged (generally, not to me specifically) that such drinks are neverthless still unacceptable within the clearance community.
I don’t do drugs and threw out the rest of what I ordered. I’m pretty distraught about this and certainly anticipating blowback via the new SF-86 once the process ramps up. Any guidance people might have would be appreciated.
