Trump DOJ Acknowledges Internal Disagreement on Cannabis Users’ Gun Ban

The DOJ is officially asking the Supreme Court to clear up the confusing legal mess surrounding cannabis consumers and gun rights. Right now, different federal courts are completely disagreeing on whether the government can ban tokers from owning firearms. Some judges have recently stood up for medical patients, ruling that these old-school bans violate the Second Amendment, while others are still playing by the prohibition-era playbook. By calling for the high court to step in, the Justice Department is acknowledging that this significant disagreement needs a final answer.

For the community, this is a massive moment. We have been forced to choose between our favorite plant and our right to protect ourselves for way too long. A positive ruling from the Supreme Court would provide the nationwide clarity we deserve, ensuring that being a responsible cannabis enthusiast does not automatically turn you into a federal criminal for exercising your constitutional rights. It is a major step toward finally treating us like the law-abiding adults we are.
