Federal Law Requires A Choice: Marijuana Or A Gun?
November 29, 2023

"Kevin Sabet, president of Smart Approaches To Marijuana, a group that opposes legalization, said it is prudent to prohibit both medical and recreational marijuana users from having firearms.

"Stronger strains of marijuana, with higher levels of the psychoactive component THC than in decades past, as well as potent products like concentrates and edibles, can have adverse effects that result in violent behavior", Mr. Sabet said.

“We cannot keep viewing marijuana through the lens of Cheech and Chong, because today’s marijuana can cause extreme paranoia, delusions and psychosis,” he said. “The mixture of weed and guns is a dangerous combination.”

Critics of the prohibition argue that marijuana generally has a mellowing effect while, by contrast, alcohol has a documented role in fueling aggressive behavior. They note that heavy drinkers are not barred from buying firearms under federal law, although a number of states have laws that make it more difficult for people with alcohol problems to possess guns, and gun dealers have the option of not selling to someone who appears impaired."
