So when i was in college i went to an on-campus FBI recruitment dinner because of the nice, free food. They did their whole song and dance, and at the very end, they said something like,

“Alright you college kids, we know this is behind the times, but drugs are illegal, and if you’ve smoked pot in the last 3 years or psychedelics in the last 10 years, we can’t hire you, so start cleaning up your act now so we can hire you because we desperately need people with computer skills.”

It was amazing how the mood changed in the room, many people immediately became disinterested, and they could tell.

Did the FBI ever relax their policy on weed?

Edit: looks like they changed weed to one year, but psychedelics are still 10 years. https://fbijobs.gov/sites/default/files/2025-02/guide_eligibility.pdf
