Reply to comment by Er3bus13 in Fentanyl found in THC gummies sold in 3 Montgomery County smoke shops, DA warns by ImperialIIClass

Just the people that are realistic and don’t want people that use drugs to have access to firearms. To be honest, I bet if you had a similar law with guns and alcohol, gun deaths would be severely cut. Having people use a depressant that impairs judgment and giving them a gun is a recipe for suicide or violence.

You're sorely mistaken if you think cannabis has a comparable effect to alcohol on someone's propensity for violence.

When you say “if you think cannabis has a comparable….”

That implies that alcohol effects everyone worse than cannabis and that’s not always the case. Especially if you have a first time user with mental health issues. I’m a daily user of cannabis, but let’s be honest about it. It’s not for everyone.

You obviously know nothing about cannabis if you think cannabis and guns are a recipe for disaster.

Alcohol is the real problem but thats legal so we ignore it.

I use cannabis daily. I also sold guns for 3 years at a gun store. I also think that things only change through compromise, and I don’t think it’s ridiculous to not want people using drugs around guns…

Also, my point was that alcohol and guns do cause a lot of deaths. I know of at least 3 people personally that have killed themselves under the influence of alcohol. If we had a law that prevented people from owning guns that drank heavily or have depression it could prevent a lot of suicides (think red flag laws which many places are now implementing).
