Medical marijuana is supposed to be available to patients in Pennsylvania by the end of the first quarter of 2018.
However, under a bizarre provision of the law, patients who use medical marijuana will be disqualified from owning firearms.
My name is Sam and I'm a reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer. This forum has been a great help to me in the past, especially when writing about "assault weapons."
I'm hoping there might be a few of you who might talk to me about this issue. If you feel you need medical cannabis, is it worth surrendering your 2A rights?
Are there other meds that require a similar sacrifice?
Please write me at samwood@phillynews.com or call 215 854 2796. Other stories on the new law can be found at www.philly.com/cannabis. I think this is a story that needs to be told. Your voices will be the most important part of it.
Thanks,
Sam
