Isn't the the restriction of this drug or any other really something that should be decided on the state level anyhow?
Pointing to Federal Law is not an admission of concurrence or support for said law, just an acknowledgment that the law exists, is enforceable and will land you in the pokey if you get busted in violation.

State level drug regulation is debatable.... Drugs are quite clearly involved in many issues regulated under Federal authority including but not limited to interstate commerce (a widely abused Federal Power, perhaps the most widely abused)...

The Second Amendment, however, is not.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
States do not have the right to infringe on the Bill of Rights. But what do I know? :mrgreen: :roll:

Re: BATFE Declares No Guns for Medical Marijuana Users

Now that we seem to agree that the Feds can ban you for medical MJ, what about states?

In Oregon, the state Supreme Court decided in May that a medical MJ user CAN also possess an OR concealed carry permit.

If you agree that a State can issue a CHL to a medical MJ user, but the Feds can ban them, how does a medical MJ user obtain a weapon for CHL?

MJ is ILLIEGAL under current Federal law.
Prescription meds are LEGAL, when used as prescribed.

Intoxication is fairly well defined.
If you're intoxicated using prescription meds (as prescribed), then you should not be carrying, just as you should not be carrying under the influence of alcohol.
Federal law does not recognize MJ as as "prescribable" medication.

Not very difficult, but, a few gray areas.
I don't like it, but, it's not difficult (IMO) to follow the logic.
