Marijuana use is currently prohibited under UCMJ Article 112. However, with many states legalizing its recreational use, how long before the military amends UCMJ Article 112, allowing its use? Having never used with marijuana, I cannot speak from experience, however it could be argued that it has less negative effects than alcohol or tobacco. A THC Breathalyzer is also on the market now.

Who knows if or when the civilian bureaucracy or military will ever treat MJ as a legal drug like alcohol. My advice is that if employed by the Federal Government in a civilian, military, or contractor capacity, you not use PERIOD. If you can't do that, you should not be working for the Government. Is it worth the risk to you? Don't think about 1 year, think about the long term effects of getting caught. Think also about integrity and your oath.

I doubt that it ever will be legal to use while in the military no matter if it is federally legalized. It has something to do with how long THC stays in the system or something like a pot hangover. It still affects you even though you don't feel high anymore.

Never! I don't want them to stone while operating machinery, on patrol or other missions. Stay alert, stay alive. One cannot be alert while being stoned, can we?

It's not that patients don't need an alternative to narcotics (such as opiods) it's the idiots who cannot figure out that duty time isn't the right time to be indulging.
I was 7 years infantry. Now disabled (serv connected) and I use weed for things related to my injury. But. When I was 17 and fresh out of AIT handing me that as a med would have been a serious Charley Foxtrot.

ENS (Join to see) It should be legal for all service member right now; follow the logic.
The President is the Commander in Chief.
During the Bethany Griner "Situation" President Biden pardoned the Federal Drug conviction for Marijuana.
Since the President pardoned the Marijuana Possessing convicts, then that must mean that he condones and approves of the use of Marijuana and therefore it is OK for the Military off duty......
-----OR---------
Joe Biden is a hypocrite that only pardoned less than 4,000 people and no one of the hundreds of thousands in the United States on Marijuana charges at state level, because the Special interest wanted Bethany Griner released from Russia because she is an LGBTQ, female athlete of color. ANd he needed to do a little PANDERING to the left....Pandering to those that know no better....Pandering to those that only have the Special Interest at heart.
