I think it is a loser unless somehow the court is willing to also strike down the federal MJ laws, and that seems like a huge stretch. There is no constitutional right to smoke pot. It should not be illegal, but I just don't see any right to toke up in the constitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine gets prescribed a lot but I doubt that you'd permanantly lose your 2A rights if the doctor prescribed it. Maybe you do, I don't know.

Second, the core aspect of the 2nd Amendment is self-defense. This should only be taken away in the extremity. There is no justification to ban ownership of firearms by sober alcoholics, so I don't see how it can be banned for sober pot-heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever succeeds until they stop expecting failure. You should give it a try sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The courts just are not going to back off the drug thing. Just way too much case law already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FIL was prescribed the morph after a back accident that hurt his back. He still held his CCW license with the prescription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of any kind is often seen as a threat by those who currently have power because it is hard to tell where that change might lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted October 27, 2011 at 11:19 PM Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 at 11:19 PM I'm guessing the Nevada District Court is still part of the judiciary, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
