  Good. What's important is whether you are impaired, not whether you ever consume impairing substances.

  If marijuana users aren't ever allowed guns why in the world do we permit alcohol users guns? I'd be much more worried about a drunk with a gun than a stoned person with a gun.

  I wonder how this interacts with, or not, getting charged with a crime and possessing cannabis and a gun at the same time. It seems like they all really trump up the other charges federally, even when the crime doesn't involve either.
