[QUOTE=DaddyD;2087039]I've decided to see a doctor so that I can get a medical marijuana prescription.

Sadly, you will need to say good bye to any guns or ammunition in your possession once you get assigned a medical marijuana script/card.

Not true

[QUOTE=Woodbear;2087930]Huh? Not true

[QUOTE=retiredguy123;2087937]100% true. Know the laws. Medical Marijuana user cannot ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition.


MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Federal law prohibits medical marijuana users from possessing or buying firearms and ammunition — even if state law allows the drug’s use. An individual can’t have both licenses. Under federal law, any marijuana user is an unlawful user of a controlled substance. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld this rule. Marijuana in any form is illegal under federal law. Users of marijuana are prohibited persons. Checking ‘no’ on question 11(e) on the Form 4473 would be a lie if you use marijuana, which is a federal offense. See this ATF letter on the topic.

Educate yourself and read the direct letter from the ATF:

[QUOTE=Woodbear;2087942]Legally, you are correct, although the question on the current Form 4473 is No. 21E.

However, a GAO report in 2018 recommended that the ATF start to issue warnings instead of prosecutions. In their report, they said that, in 2017, of the 8.6 million Federal background checks for gun purchases, there were 112,000 denials, and only 12 prosecutions. So, the chances of being prosecuted for violating the Federal marijuana laws is pretty close to zero.

Where did you get that incorrect information?

[QUOTE=Woodbear;2087930]Where do you come up with CRAP like this? Blatantly NOT TRUE.

[QUOTE=Kahuna32162;2088117]Actually, I think it depends on which state one gets their Medical Card from. Some states elect to share their database of cardholders with the Feds and others don’t. I talked to our towns chief of police about this before I got my medical card because I didn’t want to lose my ability to hunt. The chief of police in my northern town is responsible for processing firearms licenses. He told me not to worry about it, he has a card also, and our state doesn’t share the database with the Feds.

[QUOTE=tophcfa;2088126]Even if some states share their Marijuana database with the Feds, it appears that the Feds are not using those databases to deny gun purchase applicants on the Federal background check. Only about one percent of applications are denied, and most of those are for felony convictions, documented drug addictions, or errors on the form.

Your regular DR can't prescribe MMJ
They would lose their license.
Under government guide lines its still a band substance.

In Florida, is it legal to grow a few plants for personal use?

No.

You spelled the word "correct" wrong

[QUOTE=Kahuna32162;2088117]100% true. The ATF has never changed their stance on the topic

[QUOTE=retiredguy123;2087961]Guess it is up to your risk tolerance. It is illegal to cheat on your taxes, some still do. Federal law trumps state law when it comes to marijuana and firearms.
