A lot of states currently allow for the use of, "Medical Marijuana". And several more states like Oregon and Washington have decriminalized it's use as a recreational drug. However, the ATF has stated in an official letter that possession of any type of, "Medical Marijuana Card", is an automatic admission of use. And as such you can lose your firearms because of it. Hawaii has even sent out letters to holders of, "Medical Marijuana Cards" saying as much. (Question #11 on the 4473 Form asks if you use Marijuana). If you check the box "YES", the dealer cannot sell you the weapon. Because Marijuana, medical or otherwise, is currently ILLEGAL at the Federal level. And Federal law supersedes state law in ALL 50 states.
Does anyone know if the same applies to the possession and use of CBD Oil and cream? This stuff is sold pretty much everywhere. Around here they even sell it in some gas stations. And many people have reported much success using it for pain relief. The oil is taken by mouth via an eyedropper, and the cream is applied topically. Neither product is an intoxicant, and they will not get you high, regardless of how much you take. Because the intoxicant in Marijuana, (THC), is not in the product. (Except in extremely small, trace amounts in some of the more potent oils).
Once again all of this treads into very sketchy territory involving firearms ownership. Personally, I know of no one who has ever lost their guns because of this. (Red Flag Laws seem to be far more dangerous in that regard). Yet the risk, however small is there. And as we all know, ANY Federal agency with 3 letters in their name has the power and ability to destroy your life with a stroke of a pen. IRS, FBI, ATF, DEA. It doesn't matter. They don't have to be right. And if they're not, they can just walk away without so much as an, "I'm sorry". And they will suffer zero consequences because of it.
Has anyone come across any actual cases involving these products they can comment on from actual experience?
