I'm guessing stoners (again)

It's not axiomatic, but I bet a lot of the really good (I mean *really*, *really* good) people with the necessary skills are probably no stranger to a joint in their lives.

The problem is not that they're not flocking to the military because they might fail a drugs test.

The problem is that people who like the odd joint really aren't interested in working for the military. Any military. And this wheeze of an idea won't change that anytime soon.

Take it from me, if they started seriously drug testing all developed vetted personnel in the UK, we'd be a few consultants short of a scam.
