I was wondering about the legal aspects of this, and if it is in fact legal to deny someone with a lawful prescription of cannabis to purchase a weapon for self-defense? Prescription drugs are extremely dangerous and much moreso than people realize(can take yrs and yrs off your life if abused), yet it would be upsurd for gun dealers to receive instructions stating firearms can't be purchased by individuals with legal prescriptions of narcotics from pharmacies. This sounds like a quick fix or lazy approach to avoid updating their forms. Does anybody agree with this new strategy?
