I have an acquaintance who openly admits to being addicted to pain meds (he did break his neck in a motorcycle accident, and they are prescribed to him, he just takes the max dose every single day) as well as being a frequent user of Cannabis (Has a Medical Need and permission under the law)
He openly posts about these things on social media, and also about his extensive firearms collection. Federal Law says "An Illegal user" since he is legal under state law, does that matter? Or since federal law says no to Cannabis, he is out of luck. Mass Law says he cannot possess a firearm while under the influence of a host of things, pain medication being one of them
I am curious if he is technically a disqualified individual under Either Mass or Federal Law so I can give him the facts so he can maybe avoid being jammed up (or at least tell him to tone some of the social media posts down to avoid attention)
Any and all input is welcome.
