If you have a State Issued Medical Marijuana Card, you are still technically in violation of Federal Law, and will be denied the right to purchase a firearm. If you lie on the form and say NO, then they will get you for perjury and you will go to jail and still have no firearm.
With that out of the way, Medical Marijuana Cards are expensive to get and must be renewed every 7 months. Many people say it is more expensive to buy it from a licensed dispensary (when you factor cost of the Card), although many dispensaries do offer special sales.
You can legally buy Hemp derived weed (also federally legal), which is 0.3% or lower in Flower form (which is really just sprayed on the flower), Gummies and other candies, and Vapes.
There is a Recreational Cannibus Amendment that has been proposed for November 2024. Gov. DeSantis has opposed this and had the State's attorney general file to keep it off the ballot. Oral Arguments were heard in November, and it appears that it might be ok'd by the Florida Supreme Court. The Court will rekey rule sometime next month. If it appears on the ballot, it has a good chance of passing.
And, since I can't smoke these days due to my running hobby, I gotta live vicariously through others. How does it taste in a water pipe?
