TL:DR 🌿 Cannabis is a medicine. It alleviates pain, among many other known medical uses. The U.S. government’s Schedule I classification (i.e. “no known medical use”) of the plant is unscientific and hinders our ability to conduct scientific research. https://t.co/2hLY8tvSVr
"We can't even enforce the prosecution of suspected illegal marijuana possession–simple possession," he noted. "We haven't developed scientific testing to properly differentiate THCA, which has been legalized here in Texas and across the United States, versus actual illegal marijuana."
“It's a little absurd," Ray said. "Common sense tells you there's a whole lot of other substances, even legal ones that cause one's mind to be more violent, to be more out of control that you wouldn't want possessing a firearm. Take, for instance, alcohol. Alcohol is going to go completely unscathed from this whole challenge, because the federal law specifically says alcohol is legal. So since alcohol is not classified as a controlled substance for this statute's purposes, it basically allows you to get as wasted as you want and have a firearm."
- Criminal defense attorney Maverick Ray
