When you say “if you think cannabis has a comparable….”

That implies that alcohol effects everyone worse than cannabis and that’s not always the case. Especially if you have a first time user with mental health issues. I’m a daily user of cannabis, but let’s be honest about it. It’s not for everyone.

That’s because people are lying on their 4473s, which is a big crime and they shouldn’t have to. I don’t see how this will really carry weight, but it’s something that should be pursued, and could be a potential hot issue if PA ever recreationalizes marijuana.

It’s not just regular gun sales that this rule discourages, but other NFA stuff like suppressors/etc which require much more paperwork/effort to obtain.

It's not that they're overriding the federal mandate - it's that they copied the federal mandate.

If the federal mandate was lifted tomorrow, state law would still make it illegal to use cannabis legally and own firearms.

To properly lift the restrictions, both laws need to be repealed.

​

*rolleyes* Of course the Republicans in this state only care about positive Cannabis law when it affects their ability to own firearms

But at the same time, the threat of federal charges is enough to stop people from purchasing a firearm, which is itself a form of infringement on one's otherwise-legal rights.

Interesting article. It sounds so complicated, how other states are adding in state-level legislature to essentially override the federal mandate that marijuana use prevents purchasing of firearms.

On the other hand, this move makes me wonder how much is it just a show for politics. I have not heard any stories of Pennsylvanians being arrested for purchasing firearms while holding a medical marijuana card. It would seem to me that police probably feel like that alone is not worth their resources or time.

Ah, there's the sticky wicket. I fucking LOVED working when I was 15. Making money, hanging out with friends, money for dates, buying stuff that I wanted because I had money. It was fucking awesome.

I still do, actually, but I'm fortunate enough to have a good work ethic that got me a great job.

If she hasn't sent you the money by now, that's a bad sign. However, worth asking her one more time.

Print out / screenshot the amount owed and ask her to send you payment via check (don't assume funds being available means they really are - wait it out several extra days) or Zelle (safer and convenient). Alternatively, via Venmo or Cash App.

EDIT: She might be able to pay the bill directly herself. Another option, but not sure how practical that is, since she's not on the account.

If she won't pay, then contact EZ Pass and explain you want to pay, but can't afford the amount. They may be able to reduce the penalties and/or offer other payment options.
