[...] Musk has a top-secret level clearance because the company he founded and leads is certified to launch military spy satellites for the US government.
The review underscores the ramifications of Musk's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in September, where he took a puff of a marijuana blunt during the livestream. Musk's appearance on the program didn't sit well with NASA's top officials, who earlier this month ordered a review of the workplace cultures of SpaceX and Boeing.
NASA's contracts with the aerospace companies -- worth a combined total of $6.8 billion -- require both companies "maintain a program for achieving a drug-and alcohol-free workforce."

Here in Washington State, the weed (and oils, waxes, tinctures, infusions and edibles) are actually cheaper than the street was, I just today got a gram of 93.7% crystal clear oil (looks like thick water) for $45 and a full ounce of 31% Lemon Skunk for $90. The street dealers are mostly gone, they can't compete with a store having 50 varieties of weed, 15 types of waxes and a dozen or so kinds of edibles.
The black market here is damned near extinct.
There are 25 recreational weed stores here in Spokane. Medical in Washington is now only a card that allows you to grow your own, buy and transport clones and possess more than an ounce (not on your person, but in your residence).
They just gave it over to the Liquor Control Board as they had the experience with selling intoxicants rather than creating an entirely new government office to deal with it. By using the existing legal infrastructure they spent very little implementing legalization.
They did try and do a ridiculous sales tax at the beginning. It got voted out the first election after since the tax was imposed without a vote or public input. So the state didn't make quite as many millions as they anticipated. They are rolling in the tax revenue regardless.
