I don’t use it, I’ve never used it, I have no plans to use it. The lawsuit by Fried is a political stunt to gain votes from stupid people. The prohibition is under Federal laws and that’s the job of Congress to change that, not some bunch of bureaucraps<\/p>\n
Marijuana, Guns, and Federal law<\/a><\/p>\n Federally, the use of marijuana is prohibited. Despite that, many states have legalized it and some even allowed people to even use it recreationally.<\/p>\n You see, the states can legalize it all they want, but the federal prohibition means that, technically, you can\u2019t use it\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0lawfully own a firearm.<\/p>\n A lawsuit is\u00a0trying to change all of that<\/a>.<\/p>\n While California lawmakers are looking to\u00a0further curb<\/a>\u00a0people\u2019s access to guns, an effort by a Florida official to loosen federal regulations may have an impact for gun owners in California and across the nation, especially those who rely on medical marijuana.<\/p>\n A\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0has been filed against the federal government over its policies that bar medical marijuana patients from owning a gun.<\/p>\n Leafly Senior Editor\u00a0David Downs<\/a>, who calls the U.S government\u2019s cannabis regulations unconstitutional, breaks it down.\u2026<\/p>\n Does the lawsuit even have a chance when cannabis is a Schedule 1 drug?<\/strong><\/p>\n What it does is raise pressure and temperature in Washington, D.C. with regard to a fix for this major conflict. In California there are an estimated\u00a04.2 million<\/a>\u00a0gun owners, and a\u00a0quarter<\/a>\u00a0of California adults have a gun in their home. Meanwhile, we have about 3.9 million cannabis users in California.<\/p>\n Could this legal case be a stunt?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s certainly keeping up with politicians carrying the banner of their constituents and raising around what they think are salient issues to consumers.<\/p>\n We see marijuana policy being very much bipartisan<\/a>, and Florida is kind of the perfect place you\u2019d see someone try to assert not only their gun rights but their medical marijuana rights on top of it. Fried is essentially saying guns are legal, cannabis is legal, and people shouldn\u2019t have to choose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Obviously, this is part of a longer interview.<\/p>\n As for whether this is a stunt, I think it kind of is and isn\u2019t. The lawsuit in question is the\u00a0one filed by Nikki Fried<\/a>, which we\u2019ve covered previously. Fried is trailing in the Democratic primary for governor and is desperate to accomplish something she can hang her hat on.<\/p>\n Yet Fried has also been pretty pro-marijuana for some time, so this is actually consistent with her beliefs in that regard.<\/p>\n Of course, she\u2019s also been fairly anti-gun as well, so\u2026<\/p>\n Regardless, it\u2019s past time that the federal government adjusts its thinking on marijuana.<\/p>\n You see, a schedule 1 drug is one that has no medical benefit. That simply doesn\u2019t apply to pot. While I don\u2019t consider it the miracle drug many do, it does have medicinal uses, which means it belongs in schedule 2 at a minimum.<\/p>\n Especially because some of those medicinal uses could be of profound benefit to gun owners. For example, it\u2019s good for anxiety and depression. That may translate into fewer suicides\u2013roughly two-thirds of what are termed \u201cgun deaths\u201d every year\u2013and may even translate into lower violent crime rates.<\/p>\n All in all, this is something that needs to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t use it, I’ve never used it, I have no plans to use it.
