At least for the Department of Defense and Defense Contractors, the Office of Personnel Management performs the investigations - even up to the "special" investigations Hound refers to. The actual granting of the clearance is done by the Department (in my case currently Defense, but in the past Treasury as well.

I started to enter some more information, but frankly the general public truly may not need to know those details, and I wouldn't want my own clearance status jeopardized because of some boneheaded revelation on a lake forum. Suffice it to say that OPM investigates (and FBI may as well - don't know) and the Department grants the clearance after the investigation has been adjudicated within that Department.

And, in the "for what it is worth" column, one of the questions you have to answer is "Have you EVER used illegal drugs." If the answer is "yes" it doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting a clearance, but the investigator will certainly explore that answer VERY deeply.
