THE U-S SUPREME COURT HAS RULED….UNANIMOUSLY……MARIJUANA USE ALONE CANNOT BE USED TO PROSECUTE INDIVIDUALS FOR FIREARM POSSESSION…..
THE FEDERAL LAW IN QUESTION MADE IT A CRIME FOR ANY PERSON WHO IS…..AN UNLAWFUL USER OF, OR ADDICTED TO, ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
TO POSSESS A FIREARM….FOR DECADES….FEDERAL PROSECUTORS BROADLY INTERPRETED THIS STATUE TO APPLY TO ANYONE WHO HAS USED MARIJUANA AT
ANY TIME…..EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT INTOXICATED AND POSED NO DANGER……
IN PRACTICAL TERMS……THE RULING MEANS KENTUCKY MEDICAL CANNABIS PATIENTS CAN NOW LEGALLY REGISTER FOR A MEDICAL CANNABIS CARD…..AND
EXERCISE THEIR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS WITHOUT FACING FEDERAL PROSECUTION BASED SOLELY ON THEIR STATUS AS A LEGAL MEDICAL
CANNABIS PATIENT…….
