The DOJ says forbidding pot users to own guns is like telling people not to carry guns when they're drunk
Defending a categorical ban on gun possession by cannabis consumers, the Biden administration cites inapt "historical analogues."
reason.com
A pretty good article - teaser below:
“According to the Biden administration, it was perfectly reasonable to put cannabis consumers in the same category as "narcotic addicts," "criminals," children, armed revolutionaries, and "mental defectives." The DOJ explicitly compares marijuana users to "the mentally ill," saying both can be "dangerous when armed."

So armed revolutionaries are prohibited people?
Isn’t that the whole intent of the second amendment? Standing up to tyrannical government?

When I was young, and lived with two roommates that stoked regularly. They killed EVERY bag of chips that I've ever bought! Ruffles, Pringles, Cape Cod, Cheetos: it did not matter! The bastards devoured every single one of them! Even if I bought every bag of chips in Dedham Costo, they would probably kill them in one night!
I miss those bastards. They've both moved out of state for jobs.

Another federal judge rejects the DOJ's argument that cannabis consumers have no Second Amendment rights
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone was unimpressed by the Biden administration's argument that marijuana users are too "dangerous" to own guns.
reason.com
"A federal judge in Texas recently agreed with a federal judge in Oklahoma that the national ban on gun possession by cannabis consumers violates the Second Amendment. Kathleen Cardone, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, also concluded that the federal ban on transferring firearms to an "unlawful user" of a "controlled substance," first imposed by the Gun Control Act of 1968, is unconstitutional."
It's almost comical how bad the FL federal judge f***ed up the (D) lead lawsuit against the (D) ATF. That guy is a hack.Another federal judge rejects the DOJ's argument that cannabis consumers have no Second Amendment rights

great to see women like Cardone who actually understand how reality works.

NYC can’t have guns, but they can have pot. I’ll admit, I prefer those who have to do a joint before hitting it at Planet Fitness than the those who have to drag on a cig before coming in the doors. The stench is sweeter.

New York should have always smelled like pot
The smell of weed in the streets is a sign of progress and tolerance, not decline.

Mom of 6-year-old who shot teacher Abby Swerner hit with federal gun and marijuana charges
Deja Taylor, whose 6-year-old son allegedly shot his first-grade teacher in a Virginia classroom in January, is now facing federal charges in addition to state child neglect charges in the incident…
nypost.com
It appears that they're charging her for lying on the 4473.
When will they charge Hunter Biden for the same thing ???

It a two tier system.
Sorry, didn't see that.
I posted in the right place anyway, there was no need to start a new thread when this one has been running for so long.

Cannabis Is Linked to Mental Illness
A major new study shows that people who abuse the drug are more likely to be diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder.
www.wsj.com
"In the paper, published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry in May, Dr. Oskar Hougaard Jefsen of Aarhus University and colleagues showed that people who had previously been diagnosed with cannabis use disorder were almost twice as likely to be diagnosed later with clinical depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cannabis use disorder is characterized by craving marijuana, using it more often than intended, spending a lot of time using it, and having it interfere with friends, family and work."
Let’s see if the study is replicated elsewhere. There’s plenty of ways to get depressed and "almost twice as likely" fails the 3-fold odds test of believability or significance. The very definition of Cannabis Use Disorder seems to require a messed up life, so depression isn’t a big surprise.
A strong correlation, but they might have their causation a bit wonky -- how many of these folk got into drugs in the first place due to undiagnosed depression?
For somebody to be so messed up and MJ-obsessed that they find themselves with a clinical diagnosis that translates to "pothead", of course they're going to be depressed!

Does depression cause addiction or does addiction cause depression.
Kind of a chicken/egg situation to most addicts
Hunter took a plea bargain (technically a "pre-trial diversion agreement"), those don't count; anybody else facing the same charges isn't getting a sweetheart deal like the president's kid.
but...but...but...Hunter. Hypocritical SOB...The DOJ says forbidding pot users to own guns is like telling people not to carry guns when they're drunk

I love how the gun groups (at least the effective ones) are piling on against the War on Drugs. They understand the Constitution better than any Fudd groups.

The Cannabis That People Are Using for Anxiety Is Probably Making It Worse
Anxious consumers are looking for help, and pot companies have promoted their products as an answer.
www.wsj.com
I found the story to be thin on science…plenty of anecdotes though! I loved the “So you supplement with cannabis and it brings your body back into balance” testimonial.
”…according to the survey conducted by the Harris Poll on behalf of cannabis company Curaleaf of almost 2,000 adults who were at least 21 years old. And among the 54% of respondents who said they had ever used cannabis, 41% of them said they consumed cannabis to reduce anxiety.
“I have patients who use it every day. They say it really helps,” said Dr. Beth Salcedo, a psychiatrist and medical director of the Ross Center in Washington, D.C., who specializes in treating anxiety disorders. “My message is that if it were really working for you, you wouldn’t be here with me.”
