If I have been an occasional weed smoker can I get clearance for public sector for Deloitte or Accenture. Just want to know if it’s worth pursuing or just to move on

Ya if you did drugs in the last year and report it on a clearance form I don't think you will get it

like

To apply you have to have been drug free for one year. Clearance forms will ask for a 7 year history however so if you’ve smoked occasionally over that 7 year period you have to note it (or any other abused drug). Certain agencies though have hard rules about it. For example, USCBP doesn’t allow for any drug use ever even for a public trust, FBI requires 10 years free of drugs. Other agencies have their own standards but there is no clear cut rule. Be truthful but if you have to take a polygraph, don’t expect to pass. You will fail just stuck to your story. Never change it. And hope your references don’t tell them anything you didn’t. The biggest disqualifier is lying

I smoked weed in high school and college. Told them about it, and still got a TS. It just depends on how longs it’s been since you did it.

Depends on the clearance level sometimes, but most important is that you do not lie on the forms or in interviews. That's an automatic rejection.

Im at a Job (not CACi) where I use my public trust and not my secret clearance and will be losing (inactive for a year and a half) in about 6 months. (When active shouldn’t expire until 2027) This makes me nervous since DMV is heavy on federal. Should I jump to another job and start looking or is having a clearance not to hard to get again? Unfortunately my company doesn’t really have jobs that require a secret. I’ve been at my current for a year and a half and current contract is for another 5+
