I have heard of quite a few drunk people getting liquid balls and shooting people, but I am far stretched to find a story about a stoned guy going on a rampage.. they usually have a video game princess to save and a pizza to eat, causing chaos would require too much activity, but I do believe in a person receiving medical MJ should have the right to protect themselves, they are not self medicating like a drunk, they are easing things like cancer..We've been over this. You cannot smoke the dope and have firearms and ammunition. You make the call on which in more important to you, your rights or your dope sticks.
I don't argue that it is the law, nor do I agree with any kind of drug, alcohol included, but I hope they change the laws for those law following citizens with medical issues.Kirk's talking about what the law is. The law is what it is.
You want it changed? No problem. Get the law changed, but right now it is beyond clear that under federal law MJ and being a "proper person" don't mix.
There are a lot of other prescription drugs that are at least as likely to cause judgmental errors, I wonder if they will decide that if you are on prescribed opiates, pain killers or psychoactive drugs, your guns rights will also be a no-go.

But if you have a prescription for MJ, it would seem like you are a lawful user, (just like any other medication). IANL but it seems a bit odd that it would be treated any differently just because the prescription is for MJ.
that is a very good point.But if you have a prescription for MJ, it would seem like you are a lawful user, (just like any other medication). IANL but it seems a bit odd that it would be treated any differently just because the prescription is for MJ.

maybe you have not been keeping up with current events, but there sure seems to be a lot of states with medical mj if not totally legal, so that statement is not always true nor enforced. this will be up to the states just as the mj laws themselvesFederal law- MJ illegal, no exceptions.
State law- Whatever they want it to be.
At what point does the state law change the federal law?
Answer: at no point.
