Basically he doesn’t want to end up on tv doing something stupid being out of his mind. He is thinking proactively to put up road block just the option to get a gun?

Caveat on the drug thing: There is a list of who has a medical cannabis Rx. And I suppose any prescription… do opiods count?
The question is: “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
So prescriptions should not count.
Medical cannabis cards are not prescriptions, and cannabis remains illegal for medical use under federal law in the USA.
There have been attempts to interpret this as meaning that someone with a medical cannabis card may not legally own a firearm, but when the question has gone to court recently, judges have usually disagreed,
Are you? At the very moment that you’re answeriing that question on the form?
The exact wording is if you are an
“unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance”.
So a legal prescription to opioids shouldn’t be a disqualifier, unless you become “addicted” which could maybe be up to some interpretation, but if you stick to what your prescribed it would be pretty hard for anyone to prove an addiction
Weed is in a weird place, and I’m not 100% up on the latest stuff with that and how rescheduling will change things, but since it’s still schedule I, as far as the feds are concerned there is basically no legal use for marijuana so pretty much any use is a disqualifier. I don’t know how rigorously they check that against people who have medical cards.

Yeah, I have to get drug tested a lot in my career and have an Adderall prescription. Firstly only one employer has even attempted to drug test me themselves because what they need is to know anything I test positive for is prescribed. Secondly that one that bucked the wisdom of others (it was a job placement agency) fucked up royally by kicking me out as I tried telling them that legally since I can prove I have a prescription for it they can’t reject me for it (this is why most don’t want to know, it opens liabilities). In their parking lot I reported them to the EEOC who declined to sue, but told me I had a case and I was allowed to. No justice here though, I’d gotten a different job by then and didn’t care enough to sue for a job I never wanted
