One of the courts in the US ruled recently that the marijuana cardholders are banned from purchasing guns. This ruling was brought forward in case of one of the Nevada women who attempted to buy a gun during the year 2011, though was declined when that owner of the gun shop figured out that she was one of the cardholders of marijuana, as per the court documents. Mr. Rowan Wilson stated that the lady did not actually utilize marijuana, though obtained the card for making any sort of political statements in an attempt of legalizing the marijuana law.

The law restricts gun purchases by any unlawful person or an addict of any sort of controlled substance. In the year of 2011, the Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms stated in one letter that this law is applicable to all the marijuana users irrespective of state passing the legalization approving utilization of the marijuana for medical purposes. Even though a lot of states are now legalizing it for recreational or medical reasons, marijuana still falls under the illegal category for any purpose of federal law that sees the drugs of having very high chances for abuse and non-accepted medical use.

The United States Circuit of Appeals for the nine circuit stated that the federal laws go with its constitution as it is more than the dispute that these not legal drug users that include the marijuana addicts are more likely as the outcome of this use for experiencing altered or impaired mental conditions, which impact the judgment and which could lead to unexpected behavior.

The court also concluded by stating that it is normal to assume that the marijuana cardholders are marijuana users, and therefore it is reasonable for denying their gun purchase on these grounds. From the legal standpoint, this nexus between violence and marijuana’s use was set by the Court of the Appeals (United States) for 4th Circuit in Virginia, in the year 2014 case of U.S. (V Carter). That case saw a lot of studies suggesting a major link between the drug use, which includes marijuana use as well as violence as per the 9th Circuit’s summary.

All the probationers who perpetrated violence previously were definitely highly likely to have utilized a big host of drugs, marijuana, sedatives and the hallucinogens.
