It is not legal. Federal law has not changed. The fact that enforcement in Colorado is minimal does not make usage legal.

The federal government sure does care. You won't be getting a security clearance if you are a user. This cuts you off from over a million jobs.

It's not harmless either, particularly if you breath it. Even non-drug stuff like Lysol and candle smoke will mess up your lungs. The drug aspect is real too; we don't have the term "pothead" for no reason.

You don't need a security clearance. It wasn't a crime to smoke pot in 1900, and pot itself does not one any damage. And I've never smoked pot! I do live in a state that has decriminalized it. In a few years it won't matter across the whole country. We'll still have things you puritan can use to look down at people, so don't fret. Mushroom (I've also never taken these either, person!) aren't becoming legal soon. Although they again cause no one any real trouble.

I held a top secret clearance for 8 years, and worked in the DC area.

Those jobs suck, and your attitude does as well. You sound like a stuck up prude.
