Yup! That's why I think moving to a state with good gun and homeschool laws is more important to me than growing weed right now!

Marijuana user cannot be banned from gun ownership, US court rules

A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that a pot-smoking gun owner in Texas cannot be prosecuted for violating a federal ban on users of illegal drugs owning firearms, saying it is unconstitutional to disarm her based on her past drug habits.

YESSSSSSIR! My dad has his CCW out here and this was something he was really happy about cause he also smokes.

That alone seems criminal and unconstitutional. Isnt writing a bill considered a form of free speech?

Yeah I doubt they will pass that but its scary that its even being considered..

I started smuggling weed in the 1970's because I thought it was gonna be legal soon anyway, and because all my neighbors were getting rich, even one who couldn't count past 10. Maybe I jumped the gun. Here's some legal states (blue, green is medical only):

Nevada?

Meh Nevada is cool but wouldnt wanna live there. And the homeschool laws are still pretty state mandated which is what we want to avoid. There are other great states to homeschool in but the wife is not down to move to the east coast or Alaska so idaho it is.

So as i'm understanding, this after this gets passed, if a bill is introduced to get legalized, it will just get thrown out right away

No it means that citizens can’t collect signatures to get it onto the ballot for the people of the state to vote on it! It would make it like my state where the only option would be for the state government to introduce a bill and vote it into law!

The only way for it to pass would be through legislation, rather than citizen initiatives like everywhere else…

Idaho

ppp

Dude…. If you’re moving to Idaho, I encourage you to rethink. I’ve lived there in the past…. It’s expensive, you will always be a Californian to them, there’s a hefty undercurrent of racist bullshit, and if you’re planning on breaking their weed laws and get caught, it gets serious rather fast….. there are legal states that are a better option…. In my opinion….

Ahhh ok. I was gonna say completely blocking legislation on a topic seems like censorship

Fun fact about Idaho…… my grandfather built the house I grew up in (I lived there until we moved to az when I was eight) ……my parents bought it from him for fair market value in ‘84 for 33k….. today that same house, that hasn’t been updated since the 90’s is valued at 500k….. and no, it ain’t nothing special, my grandpa built it between sips of whiskey, and slaps of grandma….
