Dang, Rheumatologist are having great success prescribing for severe arthritis patients. Didn't realize that was a dis-qualifier.

I believe there are marijuana based drugs that treat things, but don't get you "high" now.
If it might work for you, you might want to look into it.
I have a friend who is a truck driver who was telling me about it. He suffers from pain due to issues after suffering a near fatal neck injury.

I doubt that would hold up in court of your MJ use was Physician prescribed, as you would not be an unlawful user. Just like the handful of folks in the FDA/Randall program are not unlawful users.

The letter from ATF in 2011 specifically states the user is prohibited. Note 4th paragraph of: https://www.atf.gov/file/60211/download

And Hawaii is giving users of medical marijuana 30 days to surrender firearms.

The letter from ATF in 2011 specifically states the user is prohibited.

Hence why I do not think it would stand up in court for someone with a Physician prescription. Otherwise any person with a narcotic prescription would be prohibited. I know the FDA/Randall people are NOT unlawful users.

With that said, is it prescribable? Not a stoner nor do I live in a stoner state to know.

OK quick call to family member who is doctor and she said if a dr. prescribed it, DEA would yank their license, so it looks like outside of the FDA/Randall program, there are no lawful users.

Sucks for a few people it may actually help, but "medical" MJ is such a HUGE joke. They don't even try to hide it, the local joint mill ran "get legal" ads.

But buying hard liquor and having guns is still cool though right?

I mean. Nothing horrible ever happened due to alcohol.

Only real degenerates use the devil's lettuce. You should consider yourself lucky to not be in prison.

Per the BATFE: its unlawful to use marijuana and own firearms and or ammo PERIOD!! Doesn't matter if the state allows possession or usage prescribed by doctor. All those people who signed up for medicinal marijuana for treating "overall discomfort" will now be rejected.

This is clearly stated right on the form 4473.
No different than any firearms law, it’s idiotic, but you gotta follow it.
