@Jazzy_Butts it was all thanks to Mississippi once again. We've been on a role. First abortion and now this.
@Jazzy_Butts @mia the 5th circuit has already ruled that medical marijuana is exempt from that rule no matter how much the FBI says otherwise not last Wednesday they've ruled that all drug use regardless of legal status cannot be used as a reason to take away your guns. Lmao they're fucking mad.
