"Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside."
Answer yes and no gun for you. Answer no and you've committed a felony.
Wonder how they expect an applicant to interpret that question? Does "are" imply "currently"? Or would one be lying if they smoked weed in high school back in '64 but not since? Or went to Colorado in 2018 and tried some local stuff but only that one time?
Personally, I'd interpret the question to mean "actively and currently/continually", but you know how lawyers and governments are...
