This podcast explores the complex legal conflict between medical cannabis patients and federal gun ownership laws. The episode delves into how 18 USC 922(g)(3) prohibits cannabis users from owning firearms, even in states with legal medical marijuana. Drawing on historical context and a recent Supreme Court case (Bruen), the podcast examines how this federal ban lacks historical precedent and potentially infringes on Second Amendment rights. The discussion traces the origins of cannabis prohibition, highlighting its roots in racism and political manipulation, and argues that the current federal law arbitrarily strips medical cannabis patients of their gun ownership rights based on status rather than conduct. The podcast challenges the federal government's position and emphasizes the ongoing tension between state and federal laws regarding cannabis use and constitutional rights.
