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.

$45k? Good luck even renting your own apartment for that much in the DC area within reasonable distance to a Metro station (for commuting into downtown DC for your job protecting the president). So the most elite police in the country, protecting the highest office in the land, have to resort to living in the crappy part of town with roommates? No wonder they're having recruitment problems.

I wish them luck. ;-)
I'm too old and too happy being retired. They do get some additional funds to cover COL with regards to their locality. The numbers given are base pay. They go up from there. I didn't dig deep enough to find out more - but all salary information is publicly available.
