The point is that they seem to worry more about being a weed user than being an alcoholic.

It is a federal crime to use cannabis. They've always been concerned about it.

They're assessing truthfulness. You can be cleared with a history of moderate usage as long as you disclose it. They also flag alcoholics as a risk.
