Supreme Court Signals Trouble for Federal Law Disarming Regular Marijuana Users

Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in *United States v. Hemani*, a Second Amendment case challenging 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which disarms "unlawful users" of controlled substances, including marijuana. Justices expressed skepticism about applying the ban to non-impaired, moderate users, hinting at a potential victory for respondent Ali Danial Hemani and millions of cannabis consumers.
