The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether individuals who regularly smoke marijuana can legally own firearms, according to a report by the Associated Press.

This decision comes amid ongoing debates about the intersection of state marijuana laws and federal gun regulations. Currently, federal law prohibits the possession of firearms by individuals who are users of controlled substances, which includes marijuana, despite its legalization in several states.

The case will address the rights of regular marijuana users in relation to the Second Amendment and could have significant implications for gun ownership laws across the country. As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in various legal contexts, highlighting the complexities of navigating state and federal laws.

The Supreme Court"s review of this issue is expected to draw considerable attention and could set a precedent for future cases involving drug use and gun rights.
