Yep, just about gave me a heart attack.

Recently one of our local AMEs has put out a NOTAM on facebook to everyone who may be taking any sort of CBD products. According to him in the last 6 months he has had 4 airman test positive for marijuana on either new-hire or random drug tests while allegedly not partaking in anything other...

I am sorry you had to go through that. I heard this accident take place and have always wondered if there was something I could have said over the radio to make a difference. RIP to Mr. Clementi
