Don't worry. They don't want to arrest you, they want to hire you. The FBI is planning to allow people who've used marijuana, cocaine, and even heroin a few times in the past to apply for jobs. Personally I think it's a good idea.

They might be starting to realize [finally] that the policy probably turns away thousands of qualified, capable individuals every year. Espeically with my generation's drug habits being what they are, this policy, if enacted to the letter, means "no new FBI hires" after about 2010, pretty much.
The fuzz is clever. This is just a ruse to grab your bongs!

stoned FBI agents can come up with creative 'outside the box' ideas, those on crack can come up with solutions really fast... they can use the agents tripping out on acid as cannon fodder or bodyshields (they won't mind). its a great idea! :p

Oddly enough, I was just rejected as a candidate for the FBI recently. Not because of drugs, but because in the final Physical Fitness Test I didn't do push-ups their way.

How did you do the pushups?

I think these quotes from the article explain it all:
...Richard Clarke, a former top White House counterterrorism adviser. "We have to recognize there are a couple of generations now who regarded marijuana use, while it's technically illegal, as nothing more serious than jaywalking."
"Recreational marijuana use is a fact of life nowadays," said Mark Zaid, a Washington lawyer who has represented people rejected for FBI jobs over drugs. "It doesn't stop Supreme Court justices from getting on the bench and doesn't stop presidents from getting elected, so why should it stop someone from getting hired by the FBI?"
Who knows, maybe in ten years we can look back at this being the first step to decriminalization...
