      Since marijuana, or more specifically cannabis-derived THC, is still illegal federally and you mark yes when filling out the federal firearms paperwork you will not be allowed to buy a firearm.

      However, if you select No, but do use cannabis-derived THC, and admit to or it or law enforcement finds out then you’ve committed a felony. It’s the same law they applied to Hunter Biden’s case.

      Why they felt the need to comment on that specifically in this thread? No idea either.

      Note: I’m not aware of any cases yet that are for hemp-derived THC products that meet the legality under the 2018 Farm Bill. Thats kind of a gray area currently, so you’re taking your chances.

          Thanks! It helps that I just had to complete that paperwork for the first time in 15ish years; I don’t think those portions were worded the same then.

          Happy cake day btw!

      I think he’s saying that you can buy a semiautomatic rifle if you don’t use the Marijuana, but if you do use the Marijuana, don’t tell anyone. Maybe they used the Marijuana before posting.
