The biggest change this will create, it is illegal for someone taking schedule 1 drugs to own or possess a firearm. Even if you get a medical card, or it is legal for recreational use, it would still be a felony to have a gun.
Now, guns and drugs are a bad combination. But there are a lot of people who would rather keep their guns than try marijuana even if prescribed by a doctor.
That is not the case. Cannabis would still be a federally illegal drug (controlled substances act) and thereby users are prohibitited from owning firearms. This includes all Schedule 1-5 drugs.
Under schedule 3, legal prescriptions would not be considered unlawful use.
Besides, I’ve learned since writing my previous comment that the SCOTUS has invalidated laws prohibiting gun ownership based on previous drug use. So I was wrong from the jump, but for different reasons.
