IMHO it is not a "Federal Decree" when a drug is scheduled and when the FDA approves prescription drugs after testing.

People are going stark raving nuts claiming all kinds of patent remedy like qualities to MaryJ.....and the Obama puppet FDA left them alone while going after the makers of KIND (Granola for lack of a better term) bars for claiming their ingredients were "healthy" when they did not meet the strict FDA food pyramid scheme of what the feg.gov.org has decided is "healthy".

There are many many many laws that impact second amendment rights....not just being engaged in the production or use of federally scheduled "drugs and medicines" being allowed under a state level conspiracy to violate federal law for fun and profit :-). There are tons of other effects too, DOT regulations require random testing of all kinds of licensed people, pilots, CDL truck drivers to name just a few.

These people cannot use the weed and keep their jobs. Most working people in fact cannot use the weed and keep their jobs, pushing them into lower paying jobs where the people with no high school diploma, or who cannot pass a drug test end up.

There are lots of Ex Post facto laws that impact second amendment rights.

Considering the recent bills for federally mandated CCW reciprocity there was an attempt to add an amendment that would preclude anybody with 2 or more OVI on their record. There is NO WAY to be relieved from that disability in Ohio, an OVI (called DWI back then) in late 1980's early 1990's is on your record forever, it cannot be sealed or expunged even that person has not had a drink since 1991.

Two OVI on your record means you must petition Canada to be considered rehabilitated to even enter...costs $250 last I checked and you wait and see, or you can pay a $250 bribe every time you try to cross to be evaluated on the spot.

There are certain offenses under Ohio law that cannot be expunged. Charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol cannot be expunged. As a result, if a person has received a conviction for OVI, OMVI, DUI, DWI, they would not be eligible for an expungement
Example...just one....your screwed forever........you would be better off maybe having been caught with some weed, or some oxy, that can be sealed.

While our neighbor to the North will prohibit you with multiple DUI, they will not (or soon will not) with any cannabis history. Will be legal in all of Canada in 2018. Most provinces will allow it at 19, as well as alcohol.

We have heard from a few folks here over the years who "had two Vicodin in my pocket, they were not even mine"....that can be sealed...but the OVI cannot. Canada might STILL know about the sealed stuff anyway.

The simple fact is – Canada considers drunk driving to be a serious offense. As a general rule, the older your conviction (10 years or more), the better the chance that you have of being allowed to enter Canada without filing for a waiver. However, you certainly cannot count on being granted entry.
This is on my list of things to get squared away.

Clarification: Herbal ephedra was banned. Pharmaceutical ephedrine (e.g., Bronkaid®, and Primatene® Tablets) is still legal and can be purchased without a prescription. You need to provide ID at the pharmacy counter; they will enter it into NPLEx, and your purchases are limited to certain amounts within a certain period of time ... just like pseudoephedrine.

When you're talking about scheduling by administrative rule, I agree that it's a bit sketchy in a constitutional sense. However, when there is an Act of Congress, passed by both houses, and signed by the President, which is then incorporated into 21 U.S.C. § 812, or when there is an Act of the Ohio General Assembly, passed by both houses, and signed by the Governor, which is then incorporated into R.C. 3719.41, it's no longer a decree; it's the law.

It's also important to note that our federal government has hamstrung itself in terms of de-scheduling drugs because, by statute, that is subject to treaties we have made with other nations.

Then add in the fact that for a very long time there has been an effort to establish some substances as "medicine"....which is typically followed by the real goal all along, permitting recreational use without any of the supervision and control that is usually used with "medicines". Also there is some illusion that making one substance legal (but taxed and heavily regulated) will somehow have some impact on criminal activity. Criminals are criminals, and when one distortion of the free market is removed, they will just shift to filling the needs of customers within another market.

The people who had worked out how to successfully import a very bulky for the profit substance will no doubt shift to importing an equal number of cubic feet of something else in demand.
