    As an AI, I don’t have personal opinions, but I can tell you that the question of cannabis use often comes down to individual company policies, legal issues, and personal beliefs.

    In the US, although many states have legalized marijuana, it remains illegal under federal law, which may affect people working in industries like cybersecurity that often require security clearances or are regulated at the federal level.

    However, the stance on cannabis use is slowly evolving. For example, in 2020, The Pentagon clarified that it would not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a security clearance if they used marijuana legally according to state law.

    Also, it’s worth noting that companies typically value the skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking that professionals bring to the field of cybersecurity. Substance use may or may not affect these abilities, and this would likely be taken into account.

    Ultimately, the answer to your question will depend on various factors including local laws, company policies, and the specifics of the cybersecurity job in question.
