I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it, but apparently you can get a refund of some sort if you got your carry permit and also purchased a firearm after 2015. edit... in Florida
I just read it yesterday or day before, just don't remember where.

In practical terms this probably doesn't make any difference... but it bothers me that they keep saying Florida is violating federal law by issuing permits. I assume federal law states you can't be in possession of a weapon, but probably doesn't say anything about being in possession of a permit.
Which only means that Florida can legally issue as many permits as they like, and medical MJ users can legally obtain one, but in terms of being legal to carry, they would be under state but not federal law. That assumes the state application does not have any relevant questions regarding drug use.
I'm probably making some other assumptions that may or may not be valid, but I doubt issuing/having a PERMIT in itself violates any federal law.

I do remember it asking about drug use when I did the computer portion. You have to make an appointment to go to one of the permit places, they take you back and sit you down in front of a computer and you do your application there. I don't remember the exact wording, but it's also on the eligibility list. Having a medical card would be considered abuse right?

Probably. So it's probably illegal under Florida law to lie on the application, but probably would not make it illegal for the state to issue even if the applicant lied. Not certain about that though... so on that information, my assumption would be Florida does not violate federal law by issuing, but the applicant probably violates Florida law by lying to obtain the permit?
House Bill 881, says that "No person holding a medical marijuana license may unduly be withheld from holding a state issued license by virtue of their being a medical license holder. This would include, but not limited to a concealed carry permit"
Doesn't affect me, I don't have a MM whatever it's called.
Well whatever the law may say, if you were ever involved in the defensive use of a firearm and the blood test which the detectives would almost certainly have drawn showed ANY level of ANY mood altering chemical in your system, your criminal and especially your civil liability would go way up. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, it is obvious that this person was stoned/drunk/impaired when he so recklessly opened fire . . ."
