11(e). Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Hmmm... Especially if that includes caffein or nicotine. Note that it's "unlawful user of, OR addicted to"
Can't include caffeine or nicotine, which afaik are not "controlled substances".

This also reads to me like prescribed (medical) marjuana would still mean "no".

Re: buying guns for someone else

Seems pretty cut/dried to me--I'm with OldCannon. If anyone here has a good theory as to WHY the SCOTUS would even bother with this I'd like to hear it (or I maybe I missed it).

I know folks will discuss the finer points until the cows come home, but as an FFL, this changes nothing from my perspective. Frankly, I see no reason why this rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision.
