17:29Now PlayingThe Supreme Court just handed cannabis users a 9-0 win and a law professor who specializes in cannabis law broke it all down with Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson. In United States v. Hemani, the Court ruled that the federal government cannot prosecute someone for owning a gun simply because they use cannabis. That's a massive shift. For decades, federal law treated regular marijuana use as automatic grounds to strip someone's Second Amendment rights — even if they were never intoxicated, never dangerous, and living somewhere cannabis is completely legal. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson sat down with Professor Sam Kamin, one of the country's leading experts in cannabis law, to break down what this ruling actually means, what it doesn't cover, and where the law goes from here. Because this wasn't just a gun case. It's a signal about how the federal government will — and won't — be allowed to use cannabis against you.
