If you want to talk strict interpretation of the language, anyone who has prescribed, but expired, narcotics in their medicine cabinet is prohibited. Same for those who "borrow" a controlled painkiller or muscle relaxant from a friend, or takes one originally prescribed to their spouse.Even holding a medical card while NOT USING is a violation of the law according to the ATF.
Just having the ability to buy it medically is a DQ according to the ATF. FL is currently suing them over it and so far it's not looking great either.
And just to double down on strict reading, "Are you addicted to or a current user of..." can be answered "No" on the 4473 unless you're filling it out with a lit spliff hanging from your lips. The ganja is not addictive in medical terms, and you're not currently using if you stopped after your wake-and-bake.
ATF has their own secret double probation interpretation of "current user", but they don't share it in a way that any casual buyer could understand. It's not supported by any statute or CFR, just their own "guidance".
