Perhaps because of Pot and coke use during his college and community activists yrs would disqualify him from making that decision
(2) Drug Abuse
(a) See definition 15. in enclosure 2. It is not the intent of this
Directive to automatically render ineligible for the PRP any individual
who, before the effective date of this Directive, has disclosed pre-
Service drug abuse, or who has not yet been asked to make such disclosure,
and who is currently certified for PRP duties after having been formally
screened in accordance with then-existing guidance. Further
recertification of such individuals for future PRP status shall be in
accordance with this Directive, except that previously disclosed and
considered drug abuse and pre-Service drug use not required previously to
be disclosed, shall not be sole grounds for denial of recertification or
for mandatory decertification.
(b) Except for the category of individuals identified in subparagraph
B.2.a.(2)(a), above, or otherwise provided in this Directive, any pre-
Service use, admitted or otherwise discovered, of illicit drugs such as
heroin, heroin derivatives, cocaine, "crack," phencyclidine (PCP),
lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), ecstasy," or other "designer" drugs,
amphetamines, barbiturates, or other narcotic drugs not prescribed by
proper medical authorities, and anabolic steroids shall render an
individual ineligible for admission to or retention in PRP duties. The
individual shall not be certified into the program or shall be permanently
decertified, and those actions shall be made a matter of permanent record.
(c) Any individual found to have been involved in the unauthorized
trafficking, cultivating, processing, manufacturing, or sale of any
narcotic or dangerous drug, such as those mentioned above, and marijuana
or cannabis-based products, shall render an individual ineligible for PRP
duties.
(d) Any individual who abuses drugs while in the PRP shall be immediately
permanently decertified.
(e) Pre-Service experimental or infrequent use of cannabis products does
not necessarily render an individual ineligible for consideration for or
retention in a PRP position. An individual who (having-disclosed pre-
Service experimentation or infrequent use of marijuana, hashish, or other
cannabis-based products) was certified into the PRP may be retained in the
program if there is no additional information that would cause the
certifying official to doubt the individual's reliability. It is incumbent
on the certifying official to determine the degree to which the pre-
Service use impacts the reliability of the individual being considered. If
the certifying official has any reason to doubt or suspect an individual's
reliability for PRP duties, the following actions shall be taken
