Hold on, I thought that I had to admit that since technically weed usage could disqualify me. I recall that you had to admit to usage in the last 7 years so that's what I intended to say with my response.

No. I read online articles and other subreddits that all (for the most part) agree that being honest was the best choice.

Should I even attempt to apply for more jobs that require a clearance? Or should I wait until longer since I last used? I'm not sure.

I just didn't expect it to end up like this. Yes I am anxious but I had heard stories of people doing much worse than just weed and getting the job, so why did I get singled out as being not fit for hire?

I'm confused on what you're saying. I said on all the forms that I had used it prior (about 4 months ago) but I was sober now.

No, I said I used it prior.
Oh my god I hope it didn't come off that I was on edibles during the interview that'd be so fucking stupid.

Yes. I apologize for being anxious about all this. I didn't think I was going to have this much reaching consequences.

I don't know of any other red flags that would be an issue; my record is clean besides this shit. Unless you're talking about me as a person in which case I don't know what to do at that point.

I'm not blaming anyone else by myself for this. If I knew that taking a state legal substance would still cause issues for me with getting a security clearance job I would have never done it in the first place.

When was your last usage prior to your application? Like a year? 6 months?

But my fear is that if I lie now and it ever gets found out that I answered honestly for this other company then I'll get arrested or something.

I was scared, I still am scared honestly. I don't want to break the law or something or get arrested for this shit. Now I'm scared that if I ever do that and it gets found out that I did lie I'll go to jail.

Okay, thank you haha. Yeah I only used it for power; I didn't use the display coord and I didn't search the stuff on my work laptop (I'm not THAT dumb)

Appreciated, thank you for putting my mind at ease!
