Aside from D.C. itself, that’s what, Land under the control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Defense, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Tennessee Valley Authority, and a few others?

I was disqualified from a job offer recently because I was honest and told them I took a gel capsule containing THC and CBD for sleep. I took it over 5 months ago and purchased it from the cannabis shop down the street. I put several months of maximum effort to land that job. I feel stupid for being honest with them in hindsight. It’s ridiculous. Cannabis is legal in my state.
