Weed does not do this. Post your evidence.

Alcohol is a total disaster compared to weed.

Yeah, thats why I never would go the Medical route.
No solid answer here, but the risk is too high that it could come back and bite you.

I saw this coming a mile a way. If they can get mJ users banned, next will be adhd medicine and go from there. If they can’t take your guns, make it illegal because of medicines.

What about regular drinkers who have firearms? Better cut them off, too.

Caffeine is addictive, affects behavior, and causes withdrawals. All the coffee and coke drinkers are out, too.

Oh no. I lost all my guns and my weed yesterday in a boating accident.

Sorry feds.

Good, marijuana is gay as shite

I'm kind of torn on this. Should there be any restrictions on people carrying around guns while impaired?

---

There are. From the founding (and before), it was understood that the state could disarm some people. Historically, these are people that posed a threat to the state itself like Catholics, but grew to include people who pose a threat generally like convicts and mentally incompetent.

On the background check form, there is a question that ask if you are an unlawful user of recreational drugs.

If you smoke dope and answer no, you are committing a felony.

So serious question here as I'm uneducated on this. If someone in Louisiana has a medical marijuana prescription and attempts to purchase a firearm, can that individual just lie on the question that asks about marijuana use, and the seller will not be able to find that the person has a MM license in the state inventory? I thought that was easy to determine with a simple background check but maybe not.

This scenario is questionable because of the 4473:

quote:

---

Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

If you are purchasing a firearm and you put "no" but have a medical card then they theoretically could come after you for lying on the application.


The bigger issue is that if you get a medical card after you have purchased the gun then that makes you unable to own the gun. It's the big part that makes the federal law and certain state laws clash because you already own a gun in a state that allows medical use so you are within the states jurisdiction. The state says it's fine. However, you are running afoul of the federal law because the feds say you can't.

For instance. Some states have laws that explicitly allow ownership yet the feds say they can't. Most set the restriction at possession of both the firearm and the marijuana at the same time in the same place. But since the 4473 is a federal form so you would have to lie to the feds in order to exercise your rights grated by the state.

Why is Trump so weak on the 2nd A and even attacks it from time to time like bump stock ban?

Until MJ is legal federally people who smoke it are already banned from firearm ownership.

It’s right there in question e I think it is.
