It was for my part-time job at a government nuclear research project. They talked to all my listed friends, and their friends, and their friends. I think they knew within an ounce or two how much pot I had consumed during that part of my life. Probably even knew how many guitar picks I would use/lose. Admittedly that was in the mid 70s, but how could the FBI have lowered their standards of research so far on 30 years?
