[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 127186, member: 3373"] Didn't hear the full story on the radio the other day but from what I did hear that in 9 western states that allow medical marijuana they may start denying background checks for the purchase of guns if the purchaser has a medical marijuana permit. Don't quote the exact particulars from me as I just heard the end of the story but it was something to that effect. The reasoning was that someone under the effects of marijuana may become irrational and dangerous with a gun. Is the next criteria going to be as soon as you turn 21 and can legally buy and use alcohol the same criteria will be used. Have never used drugs but can say that I have never seen anyone under the influence of marijuana to be any more of a hazard than some people under the influence of alcohol. Shouldn't there be some evidence to support such rules rather than just another reason to prevent more people from buying guns. For me there is quite a bit of evidence that medical marijuana can help multiple medical conditions and make life more comfortable for some patients. Yet the government continues to not accept that evidence and willingly accepts no evidence if it will prevent gun ownership. When will it end? [/QUOTE]
