Kamala Harris has openly admitted to smoking pot and has called for its legalization. And Biden probably *aught* to blaze up. But then…

Biden White House Sandbags Staffers, Sidelines Dozens for Pot Use

Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.

The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. …

In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.

Huh. I have some difficulty in understanding just what the Biden administration thinks they’re going to achieve here. It seems unlikely that they’re going to turn the staffers who just got stabbed in the back into even more devoted servants of the cause. A hatred of pot smoking seems unlikely to be widespread among modern Democratic Socialists and shanking a bunch of low-level staffers isn’t going to buy the Administration any brownie points with the weak and ineffectual Republicans. So… WTF.
