Americans who regularly smoke cannabis can own firearms, the Supreme Court decided on June 18. The ruling overturns a section of the Gun Control Act that forbids a person who “is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any controlled substance’ from owning guns.
The FBI searched the Texas home of suspected drug dealer Ali Danial Hemani in 2022 and found marijuana, a small amount of cocaine, and a Glock 9 mm pistol. Hemani admitted to law enforcement that he smoked weed approximately every other day, but that he was not on drugs during the search.
