Tier 2 Public Trust And Drug Use

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

I just landed an offer with a company working on a HRSA contract, and got assigned the SF85P for a Tier 2 investigation (Public Trust Moderate Risk).

I’m super worried about how they will see my drug use, since I really worked hard to land this job. I have no criminal history, and credit score/financials are clean.

Drug use:
1 time use of LSD April 2021
5 or less uses of Marijuana between May 2021 and January 2023

Will this disqualify me in any way for Interim or final adjudication?

The drug use is mitigated by time with no more recent use, it should not be a problem as long as you are honest about it and disclose it.
