GRAM Act

Gun Rights And Marijuana Act or the GRAM Act

This bill removes federal firearms-related restrictions on certain individuals who use or are addicted to marijuana.

Currently, federal firearms law prohibits the sale or disposition of a firearm or ammunition to persons who are unlawful users of or addicted to a controlled substance. This bill exempts from the prohibition an adult whose use of or addiction to marijuana is lawful in the state or on the tribal lands where the person resides.
