I feel like I'm overreacting here, but I'm anonymous and paranoid as hell. I received a USAO offer for the summer and had to submit to a federal background check.

As I was given an interview with the DEA earlier this year, I disclosed honestly the extent of my drug use, which was only a 2 month period of marijuana use in the summer of 2010 between my sophomore and junior years of college. The DEA didn't seem to mind it, but I realized I'd have to disclose this for all future federal background checks. Now that I've been given an offer for a USAO for the summer, I disclosed same usage but the background check will not conclude until May.

How much should I be worrying?

none

You will be absolutely fine. I know people with much more extensive use and other issues who have gotten a clearance without any issues.

Edit: sorry, I didn't mean to post anonymously! I hit the wrong button.

How extensive are we talking here? Like 5-6 years?

OP here,

I guess if my offer gets revoked solely for this reason, you'll be seeing me on ATL.
