IL medical cannabis users would have to choose between self-defense and medicine

This column has no interest in wading into the debate over the efficacy of cannabis as medicine. The intent here is to note that in Illinois, one can choose legal armed self-defense, or (probably, eventually) legal cannabis. If you decide you need both, though, at least one of the two had better be "off the books." [More]

That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.

Since the federal form asks if you are an "unlawful user," or "addicted," one could theoretically answer "no" if he had a valid prescription for medical marijuana. But the anti-gun politicians always interpret terms as broadly and vaguely as possible when imposing restrictions on citizens, and as narrowly as possible when it comes to their own misconduct ("it depends on what you mean by 'is'"). The ISP and/or ATF may end up denying your gun permit because your MD prescribed cough medicine for you two years ago when you had a cold.

Except that the feds are still going to call that "unlawful."

By what legitimate authority?

And it’s the most important question we can ask ourselves. Do we own our lives, or have we given our sovereign and natural authority over ourselves to the rulers and politicians?
