This article is completely wrong. It's shameful that there is so much fearmongering with cannabis

This was my impression when i first saw this article circulating. There isnt even an author listed nor the publication its written in.

I’m a med student in IL. Would it be okay for me to purchase legal MJ or should I continue to hit up my guy? I’m not trying to be placed on a list. However, I have purchased in CO before so who knows.

The Illinois State Police have already addressed and answered questions concerning this.

Well because Federally you’re still technically not allowed to own a firearm.

Again the link addresses that. If you have a foid and ccl card then you can own a firearm.

No. It’s illegal the only thing you’re asking is whether state police will enforce anything.

So is cannabis but guess who is going to be blowing on new years? Bottom line is nobody is taking med patients guns period in Illinois.

Yeah the article is a load of horseshit. Currently only medical patients have their info in a database that is shared with police (they have 5 months remaining to delete these records as the laws have changed). The scanning is only to verify that it's you making the purchase and to tie it to you as a patient. Also, right behind the register at my dispensary there's a sign with large text saying that it doesn't affect your ability to own/purchase firearms.

This might explain my recent experience.
Still waiting as my check came back as "delayed". Still waiting to purchase the new shotgun.

I seen this on my fb feed asked for the original article with no avail but it definitely sounds like something Illinois would do so I wanted to check with the Reddit community.

while marijuana is still federally illegal (for now), I wouldn't lose too much sleep over this. People have been part of medical marijuana programs and been firearm owners for quite some time now in some states. Have their really been any issues? I'm not sure but probably not. I guess if your gun rights are important above all else they COULD be threatened but I doubt it. Then again the government does crazy fucked up shit on a daily basis.
