The problem here is that a marijuana card is seen by many conservatives as a form of proof that the holder is mentally unstable. There is widespread accepatnce that the mentally unfit should not possess firearms, automobiles, knives, baseball bats, bricks, and so on. The denial for legal use of marijuana is seen as a simple extension of keeping guns put of the hands of the mentally unstable. The same logic is attempted when denying the right to bear arms to veterans who need help with forms.
We seem to be forgetting that denying constitutional rights without due process is a big issue.
Regardless of the substance, it being used in a legal way would be not, per se, be grounds for denial of any rights. The individual must see due process. By this the process must include the usual felony due process to include indictment, arrest, trial and conviction.
I am still struggling with how to balance due process with denial for unstable behavior.
