She shouldn't be allowed to own a gun in the first place.
Because she does drugs? By that standard no one should own a gun.
because she's self medicating for trauma and it's making her paranoid. this is clearly not a very stable person. in fact, believing the first thing you read on Google about how to use guns is another pretty good sign that that aren't going to use it safely.
there's better and worse ways to use drugs. self medicating to escape something is generally the worst way to use them. like, i get it. I've been there. it's how i went from casual user with company to unstable addict. I eventually recognized that and have gotten clean. the reason we need a doctor to help us with dosages to relieve symptoms without losing ourselves is because drugs make us feel good in general. it's basically impossible to look at yourself and know when it's too much or inappropriate usage.
all that said, i get it. when you can't afford a doctor to do that for you sometimes you just need to kill whatever feeling is inside of you. sometimes you just need to run away to survive. just don't buy a firearm while you do that...
People who currently use drugs illegally are also forbidden from having guns in the USA. Hunter Biden was convicted of the related offense of lying about it on the background check form.
synthetic marijuana exists because it's legal in most places that natural stuff isn't.
Is there any indication that she's using it illegally?
Friendo here in the US you can use ∆8-THC in almost all states, it is legally distinct from ∆9, the kind found in real weed. ∆8 is made through the chemical adulteration of CBD, something that is made from hemp, an industrial crop. Synthetic weed is neither prohibited, nor discouraged in most of the US and can be purchased at gas stations.
You got yourself a deal!
See that's exactly why gun control works

Wife beaters and gun owners. Name a better venn diagram.
Wife beaters and cops. Tighter fitting circles.
Except it's been illegal for those convicted of DV to own guns since like 1968.
