Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules

A federal law prohibiting marijuana users from possessing firearms is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Oklahoma has concluded, citing last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that significantly expanded gun rights. U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick, an appointee of former Republican President...

Maybe they’ll be amending what is covered under Title 18 Sec 922(g)(3) and defined as a controlled substance. It wouldn’t come as a shock; we’ve been moving toward legalizing marijuana for awhile.

ETA - In the Western District of Texas, Federal prosecutors don’t even want to hear the word marijuana. If it’s not crack or fentanyl, they’re not interested in drugs.

I'm not a fan of expnuging convictions (DNRTFA) but as long a you ain't high while shooting, I guess I'm ok.
 
Firearms ownership is protected by the Bill of Rights…. It does not mention the level of sobriety of the owner or their pastimes.

And since the entire population of Colonial America was swacked on Beer, wine, hot buttered Rum, whiskey and probably ergot fungus… it’s a pretty good guess that sobriety was fr from the minds of the founders.

Ever see the bar bill for George Washington and his staff at the “we just wrote a Constitution” victory party?

coffeeordie.com

George Washington Ran Up an Epic Bar Tab Celebrating the Writing of the Constitution

There were two things that George Washington was really, really good at: leading men in battle and drinking booze. It’s no secret that the man who defeated the British during the American Revolution had an impressive combat record, but fewer people know about his passion for consuming craft beer...

Tell me again after reading that list that altered states of mind mattered when it came to civil rights?

Good call by the judge. Whatever one feels about drugs… they are a states rights issue.

Agree, but he was referring to drug laws, not gun laws. The fed should fuck off with a lot of these drug laws. I’m personally good with a beer or two, and don’t smoke, but they create a huge barrier for research when there are some promising applications when it comes to treating vets with ptsd/tbi. Not particularly weed I’m referring to, but other substances.

Agree . It would kill the Cartels cash flow nearly immediately.

It would keep people from overdosing on laced shit. Most people I know of personally who were killed from Fentanyl assumed they were taking other things, which is why they were killed, had it not been mixed in, they’d still be here. They didn’t know it was there! Because they got a hold of some bullshit.

Let it be sold and taxed. Peoples get CLEAN DRUGS. And not being treated as societal outcasts, breaking the law, people with serious addiction issues have a better chance of seeking real help. People with sever addictions are out casts… that keeps them from getting the help they need that could save them, or at least lead them to the path of help and personal control over their use.

Prohibition doesn’t work.

True statement in 1970, not so much today. The excessive amounts of THC in today's weed is frying young people's brains, and is an increasing reason mental health issues are rising at alarming rates. Our ex son in law proved this to me first hand and my wife sees it on a daily basis in her work as a counselor. There's more than a few clinical studies that get suppressed by today's multi-billion dollar "Big Weed" industry that likes to say weed is safe and natural as their own marketing ploy that's worse than anything big tobacco did, but really abusing any mind altering substance isn't safe and it's proven to cause a significant increase in mental health diagnosis.

When the constitution and the bill of rights were written all these "illegal drugs" were not only legal, but in widespread use by the populace, including the leaders and those who wrote the constitution and put out the bill of rights.

The Stupid "good" folks never learned from the horror that became their stupid prohibition B.S. which gave us the FBI, gave us oppressive federal regulations, took away a huge amount of our Gun rights and started Law Enforcement down the road of becoming storm troopers. Stupid idiots that called themselves Christians didn't even bother reading their bibles before foaming at the mouth demanding government oppress what their false leaders railed on against.

Nope they went and did it all over again and begged the government for horrific tyranny.
The war on drugs made sure drugs won and destroyed the country while allowing the government to turn tyrannical and destroy civil liberties.

I have no problem if someone wants to enjoy recreationally using substances the government currently hates. The government has no business trying to use that as one of a huge number of bogus excuses to prohibit you from your rights.

All the "Prohibiting" offenses pretty much are pure B.S. and need to be swept away.

Way out from left-field here, and multiply that by a loose jumble-of-thoughts..... so here's some conspiracy:

Shipping used to use primarily 'hemp' rope. "Manila Hemp" if I do recall. The fiber is strong and pliant. There used to be a LOT of hemp grown, for the rope business in both merchant and naval shipping. (fire in the rope-locker....)

The fiber from the plant is ALSO very good for other things such-as paper, cloth, (look at the prevalence of 'bamboo' in the past few decades) and such as well.

A 'softwood lumber' tree be-it Spruce/Pine/Fir takes ~70 years to grow to a reasonably produceable product. A square mile of said trees would need to stay dormant for 70 years, before harvesting again. Whereas hemp, in that same square-mile footprint, can be harvested to produce the same amount of fiber in a few years. (less than 10, and mostly less than 5)

Shipping and cartage mostly use Nylon lines, or some other polymer. Rigging is mostly done with wire-ropes now, with either chain or nylon slinging. But who do you think "behind the scenes" was behind the 'marijuana is bad' mantra, way-back-when?

If you think I'm completely nuts, and out-to-lunch, just do some of your own research of the "Softwood Lumber Agreement" and it's history. See the companies involved, the people behind the companies involved, the timelines, and the 'strength' they all still carry, today.

See where you're not looking, read what's not being written, and hear what's not being said.

Speaking of learning.
Weed is an annual, you harvest every year because it dies every winter.
Unless cloned which is a whole different subject.
George Washington was very well known for growing weed.
The oil produced by the seeds can be used as fuel, in foods, in paints....etc etc...and is the most valuable product from the plant.
Well, other than recreational products.

I don't look at "gateway" very much, that's often a skewed argument and lots of things in life are a gateway as well as being easily avoided. I'm looking exclusively at weed, and today's weed is too fucking potent for teens and young adults to use it even semi-often and not have significant risk of being seriously affected in the long term. It's far from as "green and natural" as the industry proclaims it to be.

I've known both. Plenty of people smoke and have good jobs and are productive. Either creates the problem you've mentioned if some common sense and moderation isn't used. Lazy is also lazy. Plenty of lazy alcoholics out there. Weed tends to make people comfortable doing nothing, which in their boredom they could be learning a skill. Plenty of people have missed work due to severe physical withdrawal symptoms, of which one doesn't experience with weed.

Not all of them are scumbags, it is ultimately the parents discretion and they are the ones that need to diagnose the issue. When a child cannot focus and falls behind the average in learning, that is an issue.

This is after other methods have been employed such as 1 on 1, counseling, reinforcement at home. The problem exists and the drugs are there to help but the parents have to be responsible and that is the key issue.
