Marijuana use in the past 4 years

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hello I am currently applying for a federal position and submitted my SF86. On my SF86 I listed 2 uses of Marijuana use. Once in 2021 which I was unsure of, once in 2022 which I was confident of using and had an adverse reaction and never wanted to use it again.

However recently I remembered using a friends vape pen in 2023 October which I cannot remember had THC in it or not. I still reported it and sent over a fax to be completely honest and transparent. I have my poly and psych evaluation coming up. Am I screwed? Is this is a bad remark on my end to not disclose this sooner, and is the uses too much? I was 26, 27, and 28 years old when I used it. These were all isolated events. Do I still have a good chance?

These days it seems like you are OK as long as you are not currently stoned.

Seriously though October 23 is nearly two years ago and I would say that is not going to be a problem. However you may get some gentle probing (some say grilling) if you have to do an interview with an investigator. They’ll want to make sure there isn’t anything else you overlooked.

Thank you for your response! As far as I can remember to the best of my ability. I have put down everything about my life. I did own cannabis stocks on robin hood but sold them all in 2021. And I was worried that was a problem but after searching the web it seems like that is not relevant.
