    cheers,

    Scary headline and reportage aside, I'll wait to see what
    actual policy is effected. For example, callers to a
    firearms radio show:

    https://www.gunslingerauctions.com/gunslinger-radio

    Regularly ask about procedures to petition for expungement
    of a 40 or 50 year old marijuana conviction so as to legally
    buy a firearm.

    There are grey areas in this, as in all things.

    Yes, why is it even illegal to consume soft, non addictive
    drugs like cannabis, when very addictive drugs like alcohol and
    tobacco are legal?
    If that gold cross bearing anti-christ wanted to actually help
    people with unfair convictions, she would worry more about their
    individual rights than the profits of the gun industry.
    It's the "their bodies, my choice" repuglican policies again.

    Marijuana is a gateway drug and always has been. While it doesn't effect many people that strongly It does so for a large enough percentage that it should be banned everywere. EVERY opium user started with marijuna except for addicts that were given
    free access to opiates for severe pain alavement. Every band member I worked with died before age 50.

    Indeed Ozzie Osborne who was a notorious drug user, be that legal or not,
    has just died at 76, and so on.

    OTOH (not actually Sir*) Keith Richards, the world's
    exemplar of healthy lifestyle, looks forward to his 82d
    birthday later this year.


    *Mr Richards refused to be knighted when offered by the Queen.
