U.S. Constitution Title: State Police Tell Medical Marijuana Patients to Turn in Their Guns Or Be Arrested Pennsylvania — It is entirely legal in the state of Pennsylvania to use and possess marijuana so long as the user has a valid issued patient Medical Marijuana Card. Also, there is no law in Pennsylvania that states medical marijuana patients have to turn in their guns. However, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) care not about state laws and have issued a statement demanding anyone with a Medical Marijuana Card turn in their guns—or you are in violation of the law—therefore you will be arrested. While the state of Pennsylvania has no law on the books that forces legal marijuana patients to turn in their guns, the state police are ignoring state’s rights and doubling down on the tyrannical federal law. This week, the PSP issued a statement on their website informing all medical marijuana patients that refusing to turn in their guns makes them criminals. Because the tyrannical federal government still ignorantly considers cannabis to have no medical use whatsoever and to be a dangerous drug, the PSP is now promising to act as a hand of the feds to oppress the Second Amendment rights of entirely innocent marijuana patients. The statement on PSP’s website reads in part: It is legal under Pennsylvania law for the holder of a validly issued patient Medical Marijuana Card to possess approved forms of medical marijuana. However, as per the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) state legalization of medical marijuana is not recognized by the federal government;, and possession of a valid Medical Marijuana Card and/or the use of medical marijuana defines you an “unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance”; and, therefore, prohibited by Federal law from the purchase or acquisition, possession or control of a firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), and 27 C.F.R. § 478.32(a)(3). The PSP went on to clarify all aspects of anyone who would dare try to treat their glaucoma or epilepsy with legal weed and how it will land them in jail. If you are holder of a Medical Marijuana Card, it is important that you know: • It is unlawful for you to attempt to purchase a firearm under Federal law and you will be denied during your Pennsylvania State Police background check, due to prohibitions under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3). Naturally, gun owners in the state—who haven’t bought into the ‘reefer madness’ rhetoric—are outraged. As KDKA reports, Patrick Nightingale who is a criminal defense attorney, a gun owner, and a recent applicant for a medical marijuana card says the PSP’s approach is disturbing. According to KDKA, what disturbs him is a State Police statement on their website, citing federal law, telling medical marijuana cardholders, “It is unlawful for you to keep possession of any firearms which you owned or had in your possession prior to obtaining a medical marijuana card, and you should consult an attorney about the best way to dispose of your firearms.” But Nightengale says that’s simply not true. “Firearms are woven into the fabric of our country. It’s the second most important right in the Bill of Rights,” the attorney says. Now the question is, will these PSP officers—who swore an oath to defend the constitution—begin confiscating guns or arresting people with medical marijuana cards? Thanks to Jeff Sessions, who announced on Thursday that the federal government is rescinding a policy that allowed states to use their own discretion on marijuana laws, the PSP will likely receive federal funding to enforce this law. According to Nightingale, if the PSP does enforce this federal law, they’ll be the criminals. But they likely won’t care. “The Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office, or any of the local law enforcement departments throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have absolutely no jurisdiction to enforce federal law,” says Nightingale. However, if history is any indicator, those who unlawfully enforce unjust laws are more often celebrated as heroes than decried as criminals. So, Pennsylvania citizens who wish to protect themselves and self-medicate with a plant would do well to either raise awareness and attempt to force the executive to uphold the constitution—or move. As TFTP reported in November, residents in Honolulu, Hawaii, were recently informed of a similar unconstitutional mandate that if they use cannabis for medicinal purposes, they will be given 30 days to “voluntarily surrender” their firearms and ammunition before the Honolulu Police Department begins confiscation. Similar confiscations are happening in Ohio as well. Welcome to the land of the “free.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

No biggie for me... I'll keep my weapons and the potheads can keep their dope. No medical weed card in my household... that shit don't do nuffin but make assholes LAZY. However, I hope I make a fortune off weed stock, by the millions upon millions living in servitude, like shackled SHEEP, to their precious plant. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
They are doing this because they are terrified of losing all that easy money they get from bank account and property seizures because someone got caught with a once of pot and a few hundred bucks in cash on them. If they lose that easy money they might not be able to fly to Hawaii or Vegas and stay in expensive rooms for police conferences. Not to mention the use of confiscated cars for private use. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
