    the question on the form is not temporally bound; it asks if you are currently using. i read it as “are you smoking while filling the form out?”

    the answer is always “no.”

      I have heard (not sure) that at least here in California, the rule applies to using pot in the past year, or maybe it was 5 years. I expect it is written down somewhere.

          It doesn’t even say that. It says:

          Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana

          or other stuff. It does not define “user”.

            that’s it. yep. while ambiguity on a form gives leeway to the person who did not write it, this is still pretty clear to me. user of? (using while filling out form?) “addicted to”? ask any drunk they’ll tell you they’re not an addict. 😉

          Idk maybe it’s documented some other place or the dealer is supposed to explain it. I’ve never dealt with the process myself.
