Actually, an intoxicated person is barred from arms under both (most, if not all) state and federal laws.
And barred from driving on public roads, flying private or commercial aircraft, etc.
Clear precedent. It’s a rarity that one can on occasion agree with this DOJ.
MJ is a controlled substance with no proven medical use. Being stoned is not a therapy. I know many freepers libertarian streak will call for my “stoning”, but this is truth.

People may be barred from driving while intoxicated, but they are not barred from driving otherwise, nor are they barred from owning a vehicle at all. Most states have limits on driving while “impaired” but not after having one drink with their BAC being less than .08. So the two issues are not really the same.
We don’t say, “Oh, you were really drunk while at home last Saturday, so you can never drive on the public roads again”. Nor do we prevent people from driving who take controlled prescription drugs. It’s only when they are impaired that they are barred from driving.

Cannabis actually contains hundreds of known active compounds and most do not get you stoned at all. Not a single one has been found to be toxic or have damaging withdrawal at any dose (unlike nearly all other drugs).
The endocannabinoid system modulates almost every aspect of the body and there are so many still undiscovered treatment possibilities. We are only now learning the full potential in a few jurisdictions since research was ridiculously banned for so long.
And even among the few compounds that DO get one stoned as a side effect, they are far less impairing and less likely to cause addiction than many other medicines that are perfectly legal.
Opiods, benzos, hypnotics, amphetamines, etc (even medical meth!) are all legal for prescription by any doctor in ALL 50 states. Many even to children. Yet there is no roadside test for them even though many are far more impairing than any cannabis.
Many of these Rx drugs are PROVEN to have potential side effects like blackouts, violence and suicide. It says right on the label with a skull&bones yet no restrictions on gun ownership for them.
The law banning medical use of cannabis is clearly NOT for our protection...
No, we just don’t care what you say and laugh at you. You and other prohibitionists aren’t even worth stoning.
Look up medical marijuana for pain. I have a friend dying from cancer and medical marijuana is the only thing that gives him relief.
