Would an unlawful user would be someone who hasn’t purchased a marijuana tax stamp ? Is ‘internal possession’ (failed drug test) only state-level?

Yeah, and ATF said anyone getting a state mj card would forfeit their right to own a firearm. The Social Security deal has more solid basis in law, because giving someone power of attorney, or even an administrative filing with the government concerning money benefits, is actually in the ballpark, or maybe parking lot, of being “judged” mentally defective.

Someone could, very reasonably, get a state mj card, and then never actually obtain marijuana, so that ATF threat was absurd on its face.

The question is still there because Admin law gives ATF great leeway to make its own forms.

As I said, “unlawful user” has no legal definition. It could mean anything you want. Also, one is not required to get a marijuana tax stamp for the same reason felons cannot be compelled to register their guns: the Fifth Amendment.

As for the other question, not sure what you’re asking. In my state , there is no such thing as internal possession.

“Would an unlawful user would be someone who hasn’t purchased a marijuana tax stamp?”


The marihuana tax stamp was back from the days when Congress didn’t think it had the power to actually ban things (see the National Firearms Act). But they did have the power to tax and assign penalties for not paying the tax.

Cut a shotgun barrel to 17 7/8” and you have committed the crime of not paying the tax required on short-barreled shotguns.

And to make things even better, the government refused to sell the Marihuana Tax stamps. So the feds charged you for possessing untaxed weed. SCOTUS ruled against this some time ago. Of course now, in these more enlightened times Congress CAN ban things it doesn’t like and it seems to dislike a lot of things, even down to full-flush toilets and incandescent light bulbs (which were “invented by a black man, not a white guy named Edison”.

Never thought I’d be grateful to live in Illinois...

I don’t use cannabis in any format, but I’d rather the option be available to me given the health issues I have.

Try some THC. CBD is more of an anti inflammatory. THC has worked wonders for nerve pain and neuropathy in friends and even my mother who NEVER would have thought to try THC. Start small with some light weight edibles and pay attention to how it effects you. Keep trying CBD too. It will take couple weeks to a month before you’ll feel the effects. CBD is not a quick acting drug like pain killers. THC is a quick acting drug if you inhale it and takes a couple hours if you try edibles. Here’s a good link

"This is exactly why IMHO, we see the push for legalization of pot—it’s a back door to firearms confiscation."

Yes. Look at the gun control laws passed in Colorado while legalizing marijuana. Same in several other states. More drug slaves, more Democrat voters, more government control.

I’m starting to get concerned. From what I’ve read about 80 percent of gun owners have been involved in tragic boating accidents in the past year alone!

I’m starting to get concerned – at this rate it would seem about half of gun owners have been involved in tragic boating accidents this year alone!

I do like the image of stoners walking around with matchlock pistols, but I’d rather someone not have their rights violated just because they smoke weed.

I’m no scientist, but it sounds like you drastically reduced the amount of stress in your life. Retiring to play golf as often as you like sounds like a promising cure-all to me.

Absolutely true. Once you start breaking 85, golf becomes totally absorbing. For 4.5 hours my mind had no thoughts except next how to play next shot. Never bored on a private golf course where there is rarely slow golfers ahead of you.
Almost ALL golfers in private golf clubs are head and shoulders better golfers than what I used to run into on all the Chicago area public courses where I was a hacker for 37 long years.

And if someone thinks walking 18 holes on a hilly course pushing the golf cart is easy, they have never done it. My cardiovascular has improved beyond my wildest expectations.

Can’t argue with that. It seems over the last century that a lot of things have become the Federal government’s ‘business’. Don’t like the trend.
