Cannabis patients can not be hunters

Administrative court Trier sees lack of weapons suitability

Patients on regular cannabis use must not go hunting. They lack the weapons suitability for the hunting license, as the Administrative Court of Trier in a judgment on Monday, October 8, 2018, decided judgment (Az .: 2 K 11388 / 17.TR).

In the specific case, the plaintiff had passed the hunting test and b.ei the hunting authority of the district Bernkastel-Wittlich applied for a three-year hunting license.

The latter rejected the application because of the lack of suitability of the applicant for arms. Justification: His doctor prescribed the applicant Cannabis for regular consumption. This justifies the assumption that active THC, a cannabis drug, is present in the applicant's blood and that "cannabis-related deficits" may occur.

In court, the man argued that if cannabis was used properly, patients would not be intoxicated. According to the plaintiff, with reference to a specialist psychology report, performance restrictions are not observed in him.

The Administrative Court then sought another opinion and dismissed the action. In a medical prescription of a drug with cannabinoid substances, it lacks a "permanent permanent personal suitability". The appraiser has found that the plaintiff is not always able to "handle arms and ammunition cautiously and properly". Because with a regular cannabis consumption can not reach a constant mental state picture.

Here the cannabis dosage is so great that it can be assumed that mental effects. There was no habituation effect, according to the administrative court in its judgment of 20 September 2018. fle
