420 with CNW — Federal Judge Rules That Gun Restrictions for Cannabis Users Are Unconstitutional

Cannabis reform activists and users recently scored a major win after an Oklahoma federal judge ruled that banning cannabis users from owning firearms is unconstitutional. Although tens of millions of Americans now have access to cannabis via state-legal medical and recreational markets, federal law still prohibits the production, distribution, sale and use of marijuana. As a result, cannabis users often find themselves facing repercussions for consuming cannabis per their home state’s regulations. One such consequence is that individuals who use marijuana are prohibited by federal law from purchasing and owning firearms, a right that is afforded to all Americans through…

Only a few weeks after facing Republican opposition and being excluded from the fiscal year-end expenditure bill, Senate Democrats are reconsidering cannabis banking legislation. Senator Charles Schumer, the majority leader in the Senate, met with a small group of Senate Democrats on Feb. 1, 2023, to discuss how they would plot out the bill in the next Congress despite what appears to be a likely stalemate with Republicans in control. The proposed bill would enable banks to provide services to marijuana-related businesses in states where it is permitted. Last year, Senators Cory Booker (N.J.) and Ron Wyden, who was unable…
