    I’ve never been asked if about prior drug use in connection with buying a firearm. Is it normal to ask that? Or is it something that isn’t asked about and happens to be obscurely illegal?

      Pretty sure it’s the first question on the form you have to fill out. I believe all the answers are no, but it’s been a while.

      You’ve never done an ATF 4473? It’s required if buying from a dealer. It may vary by state for private sales.

        Yes, they said iirc it says are you now or have you ever been addicted to xyz.

        Ed: Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

      Yes you have. You just didn’t read the documents you signed.
