Recently, Pennsylvania Senator Sharif Street has urged the state police to reevaluate their current gun possession restrictions for marijuana users. Currently, the state police have a policy that prohibits anyone who has used marijuana in the past year from owning a firearm. This policy has been in place since the passage of the state’s medical marijuana law in 2016.

Senator Street believes that this policy is outdated and needs to be reevaluated. He believes that marijuana users should not be treated differently than other citizens when it comes to their Second Amendment rights. He argues that the current policy is overly restrictive and does not take into account the fact that many marijuana users are responsible gun owners who have never committed a crime.

The Senator also believes that the current policy is unfair to medical marijuana users, who are legally allowed to use the drug but are still prohibited from owning firearms. He believes that medical marijuana users should not be treated differently than other citizens when it comes to their Second Amendment rights.

The Senator’s call for a reevaluation of the state police’s gun possession restrictions for marijuana users has been met with both support and criticism. Supporters argue that the current policy is outdated and unfairly restricts the rights of responsible gun owners. Critics argue that the policy is necessary to ensure public safety and prevent criminals from obtaining firearms.

It remains to be seen if the state police will heed Senator Street’s call and reevaluate their current gun possession restrictions for marijuana users. In the meantime, it is important for citizens to stay informed about their rights and make sure they are not being unfairly restricted.
