DOOBIE Act

Dismantling Outdated Obstacles and Barriers to Individual Employment Act

A bill to limit the consideration of marijuana use when making an employment suitability or security clearance determination. Basically it bars federal agencies from disqualifying job applicants because of marijuana use. 

Historical perspective: Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) introduced the DOOBIE Act bill in 2024. The origin of the term "doobie" is not 100% clear, but doobie is a commonly known slang term for a cannabis cigarette. Some people think the word came from Elvis Presley who saw smoke coming out of a tour bus and when he asked a roadie what was causing the smoke from the bus, he said 'Oh it's the Doobies' meaning the Doobie Brothers band.
