The Secret Service will be relaxing the rules for marijuana users to an extent in the hopes that it will increase their pool of candidates. It's becoming impossible for the agency to track down people who have not used due to the wide acceptance and acknowledged medical benefits for things like addiction, stress and depression.

Meanwhile, Jeff Sessions is looking to crack down on medical providers. Citing things such as: psychosis, respiratory issues, IQ loss and that it has no accepted medical use in the united states.

    That said can they even detect it after five years?

    They don't have to detect it. They ask you and people around you, as a part of the whole background check thing. And lying to federal agents is a federal crime, so you'd be taking a really big risk if you lied about it.

    If you did smoke some weed recently and still want to enter the service, it was probably a good idea to wait a few years to put the smoking outside of the time limit.
