🏛️ POLITICS - Biden staffers FIRED for marijuana use?

Despite support for the decriminalization of marijuana, the Biden administration has aggressively been weeding out staffers who have admitted to past marijuana use.

Those who have admitted past use of the drug on their recent background checks were asked to resign or join a "remote work program" by the admin.

The move appears to stand in contrast to the position President Joe Biden took on marijuana use while running for office.
