    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.

    see:

    21 U.S.C. § 802

    and

    18 U.S.C. § 922(g)

      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.
