GRNC Alert: A warning about weed and losing your rights.

 

A WARNING ABOUT WEED AND LOSING YOUR RIGHTS
 
 

” In 2011, the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Weapons, and Explosives (ATF) informed all authorized firearms dealers in an open letter that anyone in possession of a valid medical cannabis card is unable to acquire a handgun from a gun store. 

The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation has announced that NC Residents may now apply for a “Medical Cannabis Patient Card” in order to purchase marijuana while on the reservation.   If you are a NC gun owner, be aware you may jeopardize your right to own, purchase and possess a firearm if you are issued such a card.  If you have been issued a card, it could be considered perjury to answer to Form 4473(f) as “no”. 

Remember Form 4473 (f) was recently amended as follows:     

“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.”

Despite efforts to change Federal Law,  marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug under Federal Statues.  Possession of a medical marijuana card such as being issued on the Cherokee Reservation could be construed as admission that you are “an unlawful user of marijuana” under Federal law.  

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in Wilson v. Lynch that registered medical cannabis users are not permitted to purchase firearms legally under federal law.  The court determined that prohibiting the sale of weapons to medical cannabis users did not violate their Second Amendment rights.

For further information this article provides an excellent discussion of the issue.
