Why? It's not like Elon is proposing hemp based rocket parts.
The idea is that behavior at the top sets an informal company policy. There have been a lot of articles about how Enron can be understood as a culture problem [1]. I think it's less about pot per-se, and more about the cultural signals of the boss thinking it's a good idea to be recorded committing a federal crime[2]. Does that set a standard that breaking rules is ok if they're dumb rules? Does anyone at SpaceX think that safety requirements are dumb? It's worth saying that a lot of the reporting around Boeing's recent failures have been chocked up to culture change[3].

The safety reviews were ordered in November 2018 [1]. The 737 MAX groundings started in March 2019 [2].
The 737 MAX fiasco is irrelevant to this series of safety reviews, but as the OP article states, Boeing may be subject to future reviews triggered by its own actions.

I doubt if Musk had said "I work 18 hour days and drink 18 cups of coffee every day", NASA would have cared. The bureaucracy has a list of things they care about. Marijuana is on that list. I don't believe overwork and excessive coffee consumption are.
