Bill > SCR124

This concurrent resolution urges Kentucky's congressional delegation to support changes to the Gun Control Act of 1968, a federal law that currently prohibits firearm possession by unlawful users of controlled substances, to allow individuals who use medical cannabis to legally own firearms. The resolution highlights that cannabis is a controlled substance under federal law, with no exceptions for medical use, despite many states, including Kentucky, having legalized medical cannabis for treating various conditions. It argues that the conflict between federal gun laws and state medical cannabis programs creates confusion and infringes upon citizens' Second Amendment right to bear arms, asserting that Kentuckians should not have to choose between necessary medical treatment and their constitutional rights.
