Atlanta police will no longer ask about marijuana use on applications
ATLANTA - Smoking weed will no longer immediately end your chances of becoming an Atlanta police officer.
The Atlanta Police Department said it lost too many qualified candidates when they asked if the person used marijuana in the past two years. So, the department is doing away with that box to check on the application.
The results, they believe, will be more qualified applicants in a very competitive field.
