RIIIIIGHT?? "The statute makes it a federal crime for anyone “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” to “possess” a firearm. The term “addict” is expressly defined by another statute."
Unless you have a scrip. I was addicted to OXY for a long time, but I wasn't an "Illegal" user. While I was in IOP for alcohol, I failed every drug test they gave me, because of narcotics in my system. Narcotics, I had a valid scrip to have in my possession. I bet I'm not the only one. After I got sober, I noticed what the narcotics were doing to impair my mental acuity and dropped them "Cold turkey" They didn't do anything for pain, They just made me not care it was there.
At one point I lost my 2A Rights for 3 years, I don't remember why. it was probably the suicide attempt. When the 3 years was over I went to renew and found that my permit was still valid, all I needed to do was pay some money for a renewal. Like the revocation had never happened.
Is SCOTUS going to hear this and make a decision.
"The phrase “unlawful user” is vague. It doesn’t clearly draw a line between who along the spectrum of drug users is covered and who is not. Does unlawful-user status apply to anyone who has ever used drugs illegally, even if only once or only occasionally? Does it apply only to someone holding a gun while high? Or is the line somewhere in between?"

"They didn't do anything for pain, They just made me not care it was there."
THIS!!! 1776%!!!! I had perks or oxy or something when I had three wisdom teeth removed.* I took one pill, and when it wore off, I became aware that I experienced every bit of the pain of the preceding few hours, I just hadn't cared. And I remembered every bit of it. I said "fuck a bunch of that shit" and took the pills back on the spot.
On the other hand, when I fractured my L1, I got some kinda narcotics intravenously in the ER. Totally different experience, I didn't remember any pain and I went home with prescription NSAIDs, not narcotics.
*I still have one inside me. It's impacted, but not decaying. Removing it carries a high risk of exposing some cavity or other to the atmosphere, meaning lifelong untreatable pain. Sounds like I want to be buried with that tooth, but if it ever has to be extracted, I'm in no hurry!

I had the tooth experience at Redstone Arsenal. The dentist was on the chair with me working his pliers back and forth and couldn't get it out. He finally cut it into tiny pieces and tweezed it out. They gave me percs, when the Novocaine wore off. It didn't matter what else was in my system. I was in pain that I'd never experienced before.

SGT (Join to see) if the bill puts verbage in that demands more cautious evaluation but fair, I say yes. Because as you described "I didn't care about the pain", what if on the off chance another person who is highly suggest able when impaired does something horrible because the high felt good. Now, there is no high, the pain is still there, and so is a tragedy.
