“Your medical marijuana use disqualifies you from ownership of firearms and ammunition,” read the letter signed by police chief Susan Ballard

Our government really has it's priorities mixed up.

Why not send a letter to everyone reminding if they have felonies that they need to turn in their firearms? I'm sure it would work.

Hawaii, which requires all medical marijuana users to register in a state-run patient registry, is the first state to make gun owners register all their weapons with the county police chief, according to Guns.com.

I'm not one that will get to cite this, but there's gonna be a bunch of "I told you so's" coming, and...yeah.

They did.

 

[tonni]

I'd definitely go for the weed tbh

why single out medicinal users anyway? some kind of pandering to both sides?

"look we're taking action on gun control and we're also punishing weed users."

That's complete bullshit. Fucking assholes.

Meanwhile, you get a free pistol with every purchase of 6 cases of Jack Daniels!!!

Back to illegal weed....

I don't see how this will stand with my very limted understanding of US laws.

Will people who drink have to turn in firearms? How about those using pharmaceuticals? Makes no sense to this Canuck.

Do they have a registry of alcohol drinkers with guns? Because I'm pretty sure that's actually directly correlated with gun crime and suicide. The only correlation I might see with weed and guns is drug dealers shooting people, not potheads shooting people.

It makes no sense to anyone with a brain in the US either unless you're a gun grabber type.

alcohol is off limits always

Public intox keep your gun

drunk driving keep your gun

Smoke a joint after work while binge-watching Netflix. Turn in your gun.


Huh?

 

[Scheme]

Finally, these violent drug addicts can no longer go around murdering, ruining families (other than their own) and ruining our clean streets.

I've seen the devil's herb change many men and women into violent criminals. It's almost like the scarecrow from Batman. One puff of some weed and they turn into violent lunatics, given that they don't overdose and die on the spot.

Hawaii apparently disagrees with you.

Hawaii: Florida of the Pacific

They don't keep a registry of people who buy booze.

You are right. I see drunk people doing stupid things all the time.

This is a bullshit law, waste of money.
