Hawaii Police Order Medical Marijuana Patients To Surrender Their Guns

Federal law prohibits marijuana consumers from having firearms despite many states’ legalization or decriminalization of the plant, even for medial use. However, for perhaps the first time ever, a state has compiled a list of firearms owners who are also medical marijuana patients and has ordered them to “voluntarily surrender” their firearms, permits and ammo within 30 days (or otherwise transfer ownership). They were told that their medical marijuana status “disqualifies” them from firearms or ammunition ownership.
