"Got a state medical marijuana card? You’ve just given the government an excuse to come for your guns.
Posted by Bob Owens on February 23, 2014 at 10:25 am
Isn’t it lovely when state laws and federal laws collide, and law enforcement then picks and chooses*which conflicting laws to enforce?
A Richland medical marijuana patient recently applied for a Concealed Pistol License, but was denied by police.
Medical marijuana is legal under Washington state law, but the federal government won’t make an exception for that when it comes to getting a Concealed Pistol License.
Richland police sent the medical marijuana patient a letter stating that federal law prohibits anyone who uses a controlled substance from “shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition.”
And even if marijuana is legal here, it’s still illegal at the federal level.
When anyone applies for a concealed weapons permit with Richland police, they have to follow these federal restrictions". More at the URL above, interesting take on a new law.

Another reason to get cannabis taken out of the drug category altogether. Right now cannabis is rated a category #1 drug right up there with heroin and cocaine for instance. This is a Catch 21 that no one has thought of except of course people like the former smokers such as Obama and Eric Holder. This designation isn't a law that has been passed by Congress, it was brought into being by bureaucracy and huge government meddling into everyones business.

I think the new laws in Co. and Wash. are bullshit..
I knew all along it was just about the tax dollars and "control", or let's say "registration of the tokers"..
All I ever wanted, was for Govt. just to DELETE the stupid laws that made it illegal to begin with......and I knew THAT was never gonna happen...

The fucked up thing is that cocaine is a schedule 2 drug in the US. Methamphetamine is a schedule 2 drug, and doctors actually prescribe it. Marijuana is classified as something more dangerous than cocaine, methamphetamine, and all the strongest opiates with the exception of heroin.

I live in a semi-dangerous area. Someone tried to break into my house last year when my girlfriend at the time was home. I can't legally own a gun to protect myself because I'm growing a few plants in the back bedroom. I doubt the authors of our Constitution would have supported laws like the ones we have today.

Especially since they were probably growing it too... Fucking bullshit if you ask me.

Owning a gun in the first place is illegal if you have a medical card. Deciding to grow legally under state law means that having a gun is a felony under federal law. Haven't you seen the stories about the feds busting state legal medical growers? Having guns adds years to the mandatory minimum sentence depending on the number of guns and the number of plants.
