Huge news for medicinal cannabis users who have avoided getting their medical card certification because of uncertainty about how it affects their 2nd amendment rights. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous 9-0 decision in United States v. Hemani, that citizens cannot lose their constitutional gun rights solely for using cannabis.
