Just lie on the CCW application about drug use. Or don't grow under MMP protection..there's no real easy answer in this state. From what I was told through a few Rec. Doc meetings was to get the CCW first, then the MMJ..if you are a registered MMJ card holder, most likely they won't give you a CCW..even though they aren't supposed to have access to who is a registered MMJ card holder, they do and use it against you. They never check the other way to see if you are a licensed gun owned before giving you a MMJ card. This only applies to state law as far as i know.
no gun license / no MMJ = possible big charges(state and/or federal)
gun license / no mmj = weapons in a cultivation operation = possible big charges( state and/or federal)
no gun license / MMJ = similar to above, might not be
AS harsh, might not be considered as weapons used in the act of cultivation, not sure as the cultivation is state approved..( state/ possibly federal?)
Gun license and MMJ = pipe dream in Mass..lol..sorry..but if you can swing it , probably your best protection(federal crime only at that point, unless either license was received due to falsifying documents - lied about drug use on CCW,etc, then possible state charges)
YaY Massachusetts..
Not a Mass case but, I have an acquaintance in RI who was licensed to both carry and cultivate. He was raided for overcultivation, which at the time of the raid he wasn't over, luckily..but he was charged with all kinds of shit because he kept his guns in the same room as his grow. It was a 15'x15' bedroom that had a 10x10 grow room built in it, the guns were unloaded, locked in a gun safe in the walk-in closet of the bedroom,but it didn't matter. It took him over a year and close to $5G's to prove his innocence and get his guns and growing equipment back. There were 2 guns he never got back..the polices response..too bad so sad..we have no record of them, one of which was a documented antique flintlock that belonged to some historic figure worth over $1G...
