I love Cannabis, but I don't think I'd make the trade. Nobody has to turn in their gun rights due to their tobacco habit, and probably very few to their alcohol habit.

Proposed medical marijuana rules: Your pot or your gun "Patients who want to qualify for medical marijuana in Illinois would have to be fingerprinted for a background check and pay $150 a year — and give up their right to own a gun, state officials proposed Tuesday. ... One new proposal states that a qualifying patient or caregiver may not possess a firearm, even if they have a state firearm owner's identification card or concealed carry permit, and violators may be subject to sanctions by state police. Todd Vandermyde, lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, said the NRA takes no position on the issue but that the rule seems to be an attempt to interpret federal law. A U.S. Department of Justice firearm application form asks if the buyer is "an unlawful user" of marijuana or other controlled substances. Illinois regulations make clear that pot possession is still prohibited by federal law, and the state denies liability for damages arising from the program, including federal prosecution. ... The rules would allow patients to designate a caregiver who could legally purchase and carry marijuana for them. Patients and caregivers would undergo a background check by Illinois State Police and would be rejected for any felony conviction for a violent crime or for possession of a controlled substance, including marijuana or methamphetamine. A proposed exception would be if the patient proves that a drug conviction involved "a reasonable amount (of) cannabis intended for medical use," and that the patient had a debilitating medical condition at the time. ... "If one wants medicinal Cannabis in Illinois, it would appear that they may not have a pistol - if that went through.

And in many states, an adult can walk into a store with a gun on their hip and buy a bottle of whiskey... This is absurd.

Especially considering that other states have either legalized the use of marijuana, where you can still own a firearm, or are moving towards legalization.

This is my neck of the woods, and i dont think anyone in illinois needs to be giving up their gun rights. Do they think the paranoia and drug use is gonna cause a rise in gun violence? lol. What kind of background check? If you have a felony you cant own a gun anyway. haha "I am cursed by the blossoming knowledge of my feminine ideal and she looks suspiciously like you."

they only things I'm swappin' my guns for are other guns. I don't care that much about pot. weed comes and goes, it's a consumable. guns are something you can pass on to your children and grandchildren. It's a birthright. (I suppose pot is too, but that's what makes the swap seem stupid) "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

rofl outright gun control hasn't worked for keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.. so now they figure (legally) getting them high will?  meanwhile, it seems medical marijuana dispensaries are the perfect cash cow for legal armed robberies conducted by the feds. better than an ATM, no fees.

sounds like a more reasonable trade. I'm taking up brewing now, just in case. What's the best way of shipping 5000 gallons of beer across the Atlantic? “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
