VA Marajuana

[brokenscout]

Can you have a Medical Marajuana card and still have a CCW? I have to take to much medicine and was thinking about giving it a try. And my VA DR. said it would be good for me. And even the VA is on board
Thank you for your input

Also I was thinking about opening a Gun Shop/Liquer Store/Marajuana Dispensery. One stop shopping,you would have to have the proper ID. I have to look up the zoning laws first. Wish me luck. And yes we would take food stamps

From my understanding, MJ is still a Federal offense, regardless of what the state says... So don't cross state lines, etc... I don't know. Would you seriously carry or want to be around/handling a gun when you're "medicating" etc?...

Interested to see others' thoughts.

Thats what I was thinking. But the VA supports it and is Federal,i'm confused. I was reading that there is different kinds of "medication" and ones that dont make you a lazy POS or drowsy. Also People take methadone,vicodin and alot of other drugs. So I don't think it would be any different.

If it impairs your judgement-NO !!!

Being in constant pain could also impare judjement. Being to old also. Not trying to start a fight just all good points.

I'm by no means an expert but in my youth ("60's") when I experimented I don't believe you'd want me to drive or have a weapon when inhaling.

I know there are different "grades" and all that jazz. I knew some guys who were great students, etc, but got hooked on the street stuff and their lives just went to poop. I wouldn't trust them with anything.

If the medical MJ has the same side effects and addiction rates... I say ANY affecting drug (including alcohol) should be carefully analyized and decided upon by the user him/herself.

I would say that you'd be in a serious gray zone. One that very easily would go side ways on you when carrying a weapon. There are medications available that provide the medicinal component of Marijuana without the plant or traditional use (smoking, food ingestion, ect.). Not to mention there are more than likely better medications and pot for you anyway.

Definitely a gray area. Anything that impairs you in any way, be it drugs or pain itself, could be dangerous - although I've shot in pain and I believe it would be different to shoot on meds. Having a lifetime supply of percoset for my back problems (that I almost never take), I can say that I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying while doped. Carrying while impared is an offense that can get your CCW revoked though.

Don't forget bait shop.

"8. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?"

I am no expert.

If you have a MM card, then you are not an unlawful user. Correct? My understanding is that marijuana is not addicting (in the physical sense). At what point is someone considered "addicted"? Is an alcoholic addicted to a depressant? There are some definite gray areas.

I have had this conversation with what I would consider a respected FFL. From what he has been told, it's best to answer #8 as a no. Not sure how the MM card and CCW card will mix in the state.
