GUNS OR MARIJUANA? SOME PATIENTS WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE
As Louisiana's medical marijuana program takes shape some patients
might have to make a difficult choice: keep their gun ownership rights
or participate in the program.
Louisiana is one of 30 states that have approved medical marijuana
laws in some form. Although the state's nine dispensaries won't open
until later this year, patients who qualify for medical marijuana
under Louisiana law may be surprised to learn that federal law
restricts their ability to purchase a gun if they use marijuana.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ( ATF ) has not
budged from their stance published in a 2011 memo that addressed this
issue.
