New 4473 on Jan 16, 2017

Big change on question 11e.

 

Question 11.e asks if the person filling out the background check is “An unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana” among other controlled substances. It has a new warning that points out that marijuana use remains “Unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes” under state law.

Far as I'm concerned having a prescription is being legal, screw the Feds.  Tired of them (State and Feds) picking and choosing which laws to uphold.  That goes for recreational use where allowed, as long as you're not under the influence at the time you should be good-to-go.

And those that it does not affect in any way simply yawn and move on......

Ironically, under incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions, this issue could be pressed further on the part of the federal government.  The Obama administration was doing the right thing by letting state level experiments occur.  Who knows how much of a pet issue Sessions will make legalized weed at the state level.

It’s a non-issue for most. But if you have a conviction or a prescription, and become the subject of an investigation; falsification of a 4473 is a felony.

This is an open letter to all licensees in 2011 addressing the issue.
