Oh yeah A REAL LEGITAMATE QUESTION glad he asked the question too, It exposed all the clowns that are contributing to the moral decay of this great nation.....Sucks I even took the bait and replied. Well heck if its legal lets just smoke it, or heck if it feels good it must be good! Should even be a discusion on this type of nonsense..
PRESCRIPTION DRUGSI think it's important that we understand apex_predator87 is using a prescription drug which has been prescribed by his doctor. A drug that is argueably no more dangerous than other prescription drugs or alcohol. However, I would hope and I assume the doctor has noted when the drug should be used and when not. I presume this would mean to not use the drug while operating heavy machinery, driving vehicles, handling dangerous weapons, etc.
OPEN LETTER TO ALL FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEESThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has received a number of inquiries regarding the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes and its applicability to Federal firearms laws. The purpose of this open letter is to provide guidance on the issue and to assist you, a Federal firearms licensee, in complying with Federal firearms laws and regulations.A number of States have passed legislation allowing under State law the use or possession of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and some of these States issue a card authorizing the holder to use or possess marijuana under State law. During a firearms transaction, a potential transferee may advise you that he or she is a user of medical marijuana, or present a medical marijuana card as identification or proof of residency.As you know, Federal law, 18 U.S.c. § 922(g)(3), prohibits any person who is an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802))" from shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition. Marijuana is listed in the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I controlled substance, and there are no exceptions in Federal law for marijuana purportedly used for medicinal purposes, even if such use is sanctioned by State law. Further, Federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(3), makes it unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. As provided by 27 C.F.R. § 478.11, "an inference of current use may be drawn from evidence of a recent use or possession of a controlled substance or a pattern of use or possession that reasonably covers the present time."Therefore, any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by Federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition. Such persons should answer "yes" to question 11.e. on ATF Form 4473 (August 2008), Firearms Transaction Record, and you may not transfer firearms or ammunition to them. Further, if you are aware that the potential transferee is in possession of a card authorizing the possession and use of marijuana under State law, then you have "reasonable cause to believe" that the person is an unlawful user of a controlled substance. As such, you may not transfer firearms or ammunition to the person, even if the person answered "no" to question 11.e. on ATF Form 4473.
Thanks for the info Fl0und3rz, can anyone answer a few questions that this raises? It appears that the federal government still considers it a felony to use prescription marijuana so it is illegal for that person to own firearms or ammunition?
It also appears that it's a felony for a firearms dealer to sell firearms or amunition if they know the person uses or is a carrier of a medical marijuana card?Is it illegal for any private party to sell firearms or ammunition to a person they know to be a carrier of a medical marijuana card?

Would another person who accompanies a person they know to be a carrier of a medical marijuana card or someone who they know smokes marijuana be guilty for knowing of this and not reporting it to a federal agent?
These are important questions that everyone should know.

Tex.....do you have a feeling how things would go if a warden came into camp to check licenses....say all is fine, no infractions, yet I'm enjoying a hand rolled bit of mary jane. Currently I would expect that I'm not worth the wardens time for that alone. Obviously not trying to pin you down to a blanket statement.....more a gut feeling on how you think that would go.
