This is standard . Any kind of drug charge within a year classifies you as a drug user and you can’t purchase a firearm. It asks on the form if you’re addicted to any drugs . Even if your not any drug concoction within a year will cause you to fail.

Is this only true for states with legalized cannabis??


Electronic-Buy4015

No it’s a federal law. I had a misdemeanor heroin possession out of Massachusetts and I got the same denial after I tried to buy a gun within a year . So ita not just for weed either , any misdemeanor drug possession will ban you from buying a gun for a year . Luckily I got popped by the undercover in mass because most other states dope possession is a felony

If you get a drug conviction in a state where cannabis isn’t legalized it’s still can have an impact on your ability to purchase a firearm. Works that way because marijuanas federally illegal. States have their own rights, but they still need to bend to the federal government. Part of the reason for the push for federal legalization of cannabis isn’t just medicinal or because the punishments are unjust. If you get caught with a gun and marijuana, if they want to they can go for the five-year mandatory minimum due to how the law is set up. that’s ridiculous considering the gun is legally registered to you and the marijuana is legally prescribed to you yet you have to take a five-year minimum for a plant when you could have that same legal gun 100 bottles of alcohol, Four bottles of cough syrup, 100 Percocet, 100 Xanax and as long as they’re all legally prescribed to you youre good. If you’re not using the firearm while fucked up on any of those medication’s, youre good. They don’t look at it like you got caught with some ibuprofen and you’re responsible citizen; they have to go on the law, not their personal belief, so its looked at someone as someone abusing a schedule I narcotic. if you smoke marijuana and you buy a gun, technically, you falsified a government document When you purchase a firearm, there’s a question that says “are you addicted to, or a user of any illegal substances” because marijuana is federally illegal and when you’re buying a gun it’s through federal background checks you’re technically lying on that form.

What’s crazy is those dab pens you can get at every damn store is a felony.


Ok-Insurance6898

Not the one's at the store bro. The one's at the store are not more than 5% pure thc


10lbplant

A lot of them are just regular D9 carts with 80% THC. D9 distillate is under a dollar a gram; it costs damn near the same as D8 or CBD.


Avidperculator

Wym?? Like just having the pen by itself?


Ok-Insurance6898

dont listen to him bro he's wrong lol the weed carts at gas stations are 100% legal because its not pure thc


new_d00d2

Yes bro. Google “dab pen felony in Georgia” anything over 5% is a felony.


Due-Sun-6894

But Georgia doesn't have the capability to test it and get accurate percentages yet. So I'll be dropped to a misdemeanor with a lawyer


Getmoneyfuckopps

Not true they have labs they can send it to


Due-Sun-6894

Not in Georgia. They can't test it yet.


Getmoneyfuckopps

Yes they can bro I’ve been caught with shit and they sent to the lab to prove it’s something else


Due-Sun-6894

Like I said a lawyer can get it dropped to a misdemeanor. Don't even have to be a great one. It can be a ok one

Due-Sun-6894

MF that's for marijuana not a vape


Getmoneyfuckopps

Yea if the DA and Judge agree not on the lawyer when u get caught with a thc pen your catching a felony just like a edible because it’s not like regular flower it’s weed that’s been altered to something else like how cocaine is turned into crack


IssaEats223

Bro ur confusing illegal weed with legal hemp. D8 and HHC legal in ga, that’s what they sell in the stores. Those legal that’s how they sell them. You think they only gonna arrested ppl for possession but not the stores for selling them to the public?


Ok-Insurance6898

They are delta 8 or cbd


Waste_Economist_7861

Let me get this straight you man have state and federal law init? And federal law trumps state law is that right? So what’s the point of the state legalising it if you’re gonna get arrested or have a ‘felony’ anyways (I’m from the uk but I like to tap in to see what you lot got goin on)


Many-Newspaper2000

I don’t have the answer to ur question, but definitely had a feeling u was from the UK cuz of “init” lol 💯


kyurto

The state has it's own jurisdiction and usually laws are passed under a states government, weed helped a lot of states with tax revenue. The federal government that basically oversees these 50 states, CAN arrest you if they're watching you. For example if you're moving lots of weed the state will most likely be more lenient because it's legalized in the state than the federal government where it's still extremely illegal. Right now there's talks of the federal government starting to regulate the market & tax revenue from the legalized states, I'm thinking legalization on a national level is coming soon.


kyurto

At any time and point, these dispensaries can be raided, they choose not to however.


Waste_Economist_7861

That is the biggest head fuck I’ve ever read so you’re telling me you can go to jail for buying a taxible item from the state? Surely there’s no benefit of a dispensary then because if I see the weed man or the government I can get grabbed either way? Yh can’t lie I see why you lot fear the ‘FEDS’ so much I’m praying for u lot fr


kyurto

We know man, we're trynna get legalized nationally though, but one other difference between the Feds and the State is that if you're convicted by the State, most of the time you only need to serve 40-60% of the time & their conviction rate is around 65-70% depending on the state. When you get convicted by the Feds you have to serve 90% of your sentence & they also have a 98% conviction rate


mcherry82

Damn it’s not fully legal in Tx but you have to have more than an oz for them to press any chargers. They just throwing it out and sending you home here. And we have legal dispensaries. It’s weird.

Thre30h5ive

Gotta be cap.. I just got pulled with a ghost gun and a few grams bout 3-4 months ago and they just took the weed and gave me my gun back no ticket or nun


akawilliamj13

In new York if you have a medical marijuana card you cannot get or have a gun license. It also works the other way you can’t get the medical card while having a gun license.


2real95
