In the unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court upheld that the government cannot impose arbitrary and discriminatory penalties simply on the basis of marijuana use. With nearly half of Americans reporting marijuana use at some point in their lives, this ruling protects the rights of millions.
The Supreme Court ruled the government can’t charge someone with a felony
for owning a firearm securely at home merely because the person uses marijuana.
With this ruling, the court curbs the ability of elected officials to impose arbitrary and
discriminatory penalties."The government considers Mr. Hemani an unlawful user of a controlled substance because he admits to using marijuana about every other day. But how much marijuana does Mr. Hemani use, in what potency, and to what effect? Is he routinely unable to manage his affairs, a risk to himself or his family? Or does he use a mild gummy as a sleep aid a few times a week?"
The attribution below reads: "Justice Gorsuch. In the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Ali Hemani."
